snowdogged Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 If you don’t want to discuss Poliics and the world we live in then that’s your right.But please, please, please do not present this preference as a virtue.I don't really see any virtue at either end of the spectrum.

BenjaminW Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) I've purposely never asked for access to it.Same here. If I want to lose my sanity, I could just ask for like a temporary 24 hour access period to it if possible. No snowflakes in SOCN please as we do not have safe places or trigger warnings.Actually bruh, snowflake is one of my trigger words, bruh.

JohnRogers Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 In reality SOCN is a community of people who like to muse, sound off, interrogate, learn, banter and argue. Other than Rush most of the people there have little in common other than being thicker skinned than the average.Many of us have White Privilege in common. We spend endless hours in SOCN trying to figure out the best way to distribute our property to people of color. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you find like-minded people without talking to others about what they believe?Definitely, but that is where you weed out the people who seriously want to make things better from the ones who just want to look like they are intellectual big shots. And unfortunately, the latter is true of most people who talk politics from my experience. Edited June 3, 2018 by snowdogged 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna do any more virtue signaling to justify taking shots at people who have different interests than your own?

Also, in regards to the virtue topic, the first rock was thrown from your side of the fence.

Rick N. Backer Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 SOCN is really not different in concept than the board at large. Everyone who posts there is interested in news and politics. So we post our thoughts and respond to others. Is it somehow more productive to debate whether Rush should have done a European leg of R40? What your favorite song off each album is? How much Wolfmother you’ve been listening to lately? No one in there pretends to know everything. Because the regulars are so different, I find I learn quite a bit from them. If it doesn’t interest you, that’s fine. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do not understand that line of thinking,There would be virtue in taking action to try to make things right, not talking about it.Many of us in SOCN are politically active and take part in local and state politics, including caucus and primary processes. we also serve on local boards (of education, for example). Some of us have testified at our state legislatures and are active in political campaigning. And we do so from an informed position , because we...wait for it...talk about political issues on a regular basis. You should check it out. :cheers: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only speaking from experience of people I have met in my life and have seen too many people who talked like they cared so much to fight injustice but they turned out to be hypocrites and criminals. There are many good people who actually get involved but the majority that get involved end up being slimy politicians. That's just my take on it. :cheers: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
