I have been a member here for a bit over a year.  I have in that time noticed several repeating controversial topics that tend to get under the skin of a significant number of members.  These include, but are not limited to,

1. Any mention of Israel

2. Anything to do with favorable or unfavorable contact with the police.

3. So called Militias or the so called Patriots who think they don't have to abide by the laws if its not specifically written in the constitution.

4. Anything Racial or ethnic

5. Anything religious in nature

6. AR v AK

My first bit of advice is to understand that we are a diverse group on this board.  Many different backgrounds, many diferent beliefs.  Do not presume that all of the people reading your message agree with you and are not offended by what you wrote.  You are entitled to your opinion, but you may be wrong.  You will certainly be asked to provide proof or basis for your point.

My second is to think before posting.  Most of the regulars here have a fair idea of the beliefs of the others based on our postings or having met in person.  If you are generally new and unknown, how will what you are writing be received.  Be prepared and read your post twice before hitting submit.

Third, read the whole post before responding.  Too often a mistake is made by the reader causing embarrasment later.

Fourth, if you are not sure of yourself, make a disclaimer or don't post it.  This may be the internet, but people actually do follow the advice they get here.  Many people don't really know what their rights are, what is illegal or legal, and except for the lawyers here, we are not qaulified to give legal advice.  Neither are most of us Theologians, Doctors, or auto mechanics, but we do have a few.

Last bit, Have fun, thats what this is all about.

Thats all I have for now.  Enjoy

I didn't say don't argue, just be prepared to defend your argument.

thats fine but no one ever answered my question?

Why do cops always beat on black,jewish, militia members from isreal at bible school. And which do these people prefer? Ak's or ar'S?

Ah, but since the reformation, we are now a combined AR / AK board.  Fortunately I own both.

What if the offending person/persons don't give a shit,
or they post while drinking, or they are bad cops,
Islamic sympathizers, all around good old boy racists,
pot smoking left wing liberal demoncraps, child molesting Catholics,
Black gansta wannabes,
stupid under achievers working at the fast food window drive thru
that just barely saved enough money to by their first AR,
government employee, well you get the idea.

There is a lot to think about when it come to understanding the idiot
on the other end of the keyboard. You just never know what type of discussion
you will have while in a web forum. A lot of the time they are just dumb ass kids
sneaking on their parents computer.

I hope this helps with your understanding of why people don't get along.
People just suck, I hope you can deal with that fact.
