of the 40 threads on the first page I have opened 9, some of the patriotic ones is why it's so high, follow only a couple like this one and my sticky, participated on 3. Most I just pass over.
If I can add personal experience to the subject I will, or something positive to balance negative maybe.
I've removed as much media negativity, news, television, radio and these forums as possible... a bunch still leaks around.
If a title looks interesting I open it, that's it, political and religion are the same old rehash, have at'm.
If I get sick of this forum I move on for however long.
