    Two things I do not talk about online or even in public, cult ‘religions’ and politics. You’d brought both in to the same post. Nope not going there.

    Cult "religions"

    you are either blissfully ignorant of what my church teaches or you're just an idiot who assumes they know best. :)


    but hey....we're not going there.

    What does this topic have to do with motivation or support with respect to weight loss and getting fit?

    nope - not going there - first Im Canadian and not voting either one...lol - second I was always taught that the 3 things you NEVER discuss in public are
    1 - religion
    2 - politics
    3 - abortion

    so - nope not going there - however if I did vote in the US I would not vote for Romney - and it has nothing to do with his religious beliefs - I just think he's a slimy sleeze and think he'd be worse than your GW Bush was.

    It's a chat forum dedicated to motivation and support for weight loss and getting fit. There are other boards for politics all over the internet. This is coming from someone who LOVES politics. I find this thread to be highly inappropriate for this particular forum.

    I'm neither thank you very much. From your post everyone can see you feel free to defame others, but don't like the same rules applied to you and yours, which I have to say is typical of a bigot.

    Wow, that was completely rude. I agree with you, I'm not going to get into either a political discussion or a religious discussion on this website. However, by making your comment "cult 'religions'", you did in fact discuss religion in on this website, and made yourself perfectly clear. Either state an opinion or don't. Don't pretend you are not stating one, while stating one.

    Politics and religion are two subjects one ought not discuss with casual acquaintances.

    Despite saying that you don't talk about politics, you had a lot to say about politics. So, since you are talking about politics, I have to know, from a Canadian's perspective, what was wrong with Bush?

    probably would've been the smart thing to do.

    I'm asking for people to be rude, I guess. though I have to admit.....I'll never EVER understand why people get to haughty-taughty and straight up rude when it comes to politics. you may not like my opinion, I may not like yours, but really? the name calling and the "neener neener neener, my politician is better than yoooourrrs!" is just ridiculous.


    although, while we're at it...."my" politician is actually better than yours. HA.


    im kidding. :) sort of.

    You wrote the post. You can delete it if drama wasn't your goal. Life is all about choices.

    cult-/kəlt/
    Noun:
    A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure (God) or object.

    re·li·gion/riˈlijən/
    Noun:
    The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods.

    Sound the same to me..i don't see the ignorance in that

    But me personally i'm voting Obama because 1. I never think religion should have anything to do with the politics of this country and he's made it clear that a few of his stances are based on religion 2. I truly believe Obama is trying to help the country and not line his pockets. It didnt take just 4 years for the country to get in this shape, and i dont expect it will take that long to get it out. 2. Nearly everything about Mitt Romney is against everything i believe in

    Just so you know, there's actually a 'chit-chat, fun, and games' board for this sort of topic. The 'motivation and support' board is generally for motivation and support about fitness and health related things.
