Because I like the free speech on this board. You have a right to make an emotional post, and I have a right to ridicule those who do it and a right to point out such a cancer affecting our politics.

This is rampant on this board, certain people react to things that happen with emotion instead of fact.

The discussion over the Federal Trade Court decision shows that clearly. They do not like the decision emotionally, so they call it illegitimate.

I do not like any organization having funding taken because the Government is trying to manage the messages they allow people to express.

Such behavior is illegal in the United States and very UNAMERICAN.

What's the most emotional post you've ever seen that concerns you?

I do not know, I have not evaluated and do not care to evaluate which one is the "most" emotional.

My point is that its rampant, and many here only care about their desire to let the Administration do anything it wants, so they pretend there is some legitimacy when there is not.

So many discussions with certain posters illustrate that they do not care about American laws and American ideals, but only their emotions.

But you started a thread on it.... For no rhyme or reason... no facts...Just your personal and emotional evaluation of others posts..
 
Leaders calling a Court Ruling illegitimate, simply because they do not like the result is not intelligent discussion, and it harms our nation when emotional people believe it is simply a rogue court.

How would one even prove that a post was emotionally based rather than logically based?

All emotion aside, that was an absurd suggestion.

Probably based on an emotional reaction.

Just because I do not have a believe in the example of the "Most" does not mean anything. Look at the discussion over the Federal Trade Court's decision.

They simply emotionally believe there is not legit basis for the ruling.

You've made a very good point, many people just can't be logical and or objective.

That's very obvious around here. Is it not? You're not new here...;)
Have you ever seen a thread Where the discussion is logical and fact based? Without emotion or personal attack Mucking it up?

I don't see the OP as being emotional. It is an observation that cannot be verified with hard data, but that's the reality of the world.

What I see happening here is you going off on one of your little "gotcha" attempts that always result in an endless string of back and forth nonsense that wastes everybody's time.

So, he felt like commenting on it.

You're free to agree or disagree.

But that doesn't mean it's not a legitimate topic for conversation.

Maybe belongs in General Politics or Off Topic, but a legitimate subject nonetheless.
 
A perfect example is Trumppers screaming that the decision of the Federal Trade Court is invalid, when a factual discussion shows that it was perfectly within the purview and mandate of the Court to make such a decision which was clearly within the bounds of the law and Constitution.

I am happy it is being appealed, that is how the rule of law works. Let it go to a superior court.
