The Analog Grownup Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I would say 15 is not too early to learn something, but it depends on how people are "in there" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Marx said religion was opium of the people. I think it's politics these days. I'm always amused at people arguing these topics to no useful end. Politics seems to be a great way for governments to keep a large percentage of the population busy so they aren't revolting. I've got no use for it myself. it's no different than 20 page threads about which rush or zep or maiden record is best. it's just discussion. The difference is I don't think most people discussing bands on a message board feel like they are accomplishing something real in the world. In my experience people that discuss politics seriously in the same fashion feel this way and are fooling themselves into thinking that something useful will come out of it. This is not meant to offend anyone here. It's more of my reason for not being interested. I used to be VERY involved which is how I developed this viewpoint. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 One more thought: if you are interested in politics my suggestion is to not worry about what is happening overseas or in Washington (or your capital) that much. Get involved in it at the local level where you may actually be ale to make a difference. Helping improve roads, schools, or underprivileged kids is a great way to be involved AND actually get something accomplished. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My participation in SOCN (or any other foum, for that matter) is the same as pretty much anyone else's (though I can just about lay money on who will disagree with me): pure vanity -- I like to "hear" myself talk.

Xanadoood Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I think it's funny how some take it all so serious, not so much the topics , but the culture of message boards.. I was told recently that I bring nothing useful to this forum.. Who gives a shit what I bring? We aren't curing cancer here., its just another way to pass the time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate turned 15 in April. Is he ready? I guess. I think he believes he's missing out by not being allowed in. I reckon he'll get bored pretty soon.It's really all about whether we will be pushed to make allowances. All discussion should be on the basis that everyone is equal and therefore fair game...

OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 1. Cons an libs are two sides of the same coin. The cons are wolves and the liberals are wolves in sheep's clothing. Neither politicians of both parties care about the people today.2. I'm considering green party or independent when I register next time. The two Goliath parties can get bent.3. I had enough of Obummer when he flip flopped on an issue I'm passionate about, getting rid of Monsanto and GMOs in foods, and realizing he's just a slightly more liberal Dubya. I should have just voted Jill Stein or Johnson last November. I agree with you 100%. And I DID vote for Jill Stein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
