I know it's probably an impossible request. But has anyone else noticed how many threads degrade to childish bickering on this site?. SA versus this. SEI love/ hate..........Who support's who ETC. This is a technical forum is it not. I find myself visiting less and less because many threads are nothing more than bickering. Okay Rant over. Carry on.

| In this forum, this whole website, the entire internet, the world for that matter. Ask an opinion on a subject and your going to hear many. Because of it there is always going to be friction. Friction because of many things. I think it boils down mainly we are passionate about a particular subject. So Passionate we defend it like it's our only reason for being. It isn't going to change. Not starting an thread in a forum, not standing up on a soap box shouting, "Can't we all just get along" or something more drastic. There is always going to be this friction. It's not going away until we are all dead every last one of us. Then after that nature will probably find something or someone else to spar against the other opposing force. It's a never ending cycle, an impossible request. |

I've been on AR15.com since 1998 (before the current owners). My $0.02:
Don't take yourself too seriously. Stick to the facts or supported opinion. Have a thick skin. Realize that honest men will disagree at times. Keep the main thing the main thing, liberty is at stake! Continue mission. |

"Government is just gonna grow, why fight it?" If we accept that we can't disagree, even passionately disagree, in a civil manner, then that's how it will be. |

While the kids analogy applies because it is that of human nature the vote thing doesn't fit because that is an example of personal choice of the individuals mentality. Teach kids all you want about sex, you'll never succeed in total abstinence as you will never succeed in curving ones passion/beliefs enough to stop bickering, fighting, war. Human nature is what it is. If it ever changes It won't be in our life times. Maybe in a millenia, but who's to say we'll be around as a race that long? In the mean time why don't we accept the things we can not change and go from there? Of course that isn't going to work because we can't agree on the things we can't change. LOL Well now that is just a pickle. How's about lets argue and bicker about something?

You obviously have never been to AR Discussion forum. You want to see some real bickering? Go there. I've been guilty of partaking in some of them, too.  It's much much more civil in here.
