Why I haven't been here very much lately...

I know you all are gonna blast me for this. But I have to tell you the honest truth. The reason I've backed out of AFF lately is because I am totally tired of reading all the political stuff over and over and over and over. Most of us have already decided who we're voting for, so why do we have to keep rehashing all of the dirt again and again and again?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually looking forward to November when we can get back to arguing over whether to cut women's hair or whether men should have facial hair or even whether nekid elbows are a sin or not.

Ok, carry on. I just wanted to put my 2 cents in

Glad you said it Margie!

Discussing politics is worse than discussing religion.

NO WAY! I hate discussing religion. I'd rather be divisive over politics any day! To each his own. If I don't like the title of a thread, I don't open and read it.

No, but they've kind of taken over the forum for the time being. I understand.
