Politics are UGLY!

It's a shame the way politics could possibly ruin relationships between members of this site. I for one DON'T care what your political leanings are, you're all still good with me.

Speaking for myself I maintain all of the relationships I have with people that I meet and share a mutual respect with. As much as I disagree with pretty much everything @mountain ref @Jesse James @capt278 @Run To State and @Bluegrasscard have to say politically whenever I see them it is always love and mutual respect. I feel like our friendships and respect go way beyond politics. Politics is ugly for sure but I feel like we are able to see each other for the people we are despite our political leanings.

Absolutely! Your political leanings really mean nothing to me as a gauge of who you are, it's a very small sampling of who you are. The person I've come to know is far more important to me than how you feel politically, and you're one hell of a great guy! I feel this way about many BGPers I disagree with politically.

I liked it when this forum was shut down. Moth-to-the-flame syndrome sometimes.

This is exactly how I feel. I only know a couple of people on here, you being one PP92. The way one leans politically is just a minute part of a person. You are a great guy with a great family. My only complaint is I don't get to see you as much as I would like. Much respect to you.

This. :thumb:

While I've only met RTS of the ones you mentioned (great guy), I'm absolutely looking forward to the day @mountain ref and I can finally meet. I think he and I will get along very well. I also think @capt278 and I would find we see eye to eye on more things than either of us would realize. Same goes for @Bluegrasscard as well.

And even though he has no respect for me, I'd enjoy having a beer with @Jesse James.

Out of curiosity, I wonder who has posted the most/started the most threads since the forum's return. Say, the top ten.

I'll admit that I'm too lazy to crunch the numbers. I did enough of that before I retired nearly a decade ago.

It's simply the nature of being human beings. We all have a lot more in common that we realize from just posting on a website. Most of my social friends are to the right of Mussolini, but we're buds.

There isn't a member on here that I wouldn't enjoy sitting down and having a cuppa with.

Well, except for that Parker kid. He's too little.

If only the rest of the country had the civility that exists on BGP.

That's not even close.

Also, I don't like any of you all regardless of your political affiliation, so...

With an avatar like you have.......................:lol2:

I have no ill will toward anyone. I know PP92 and he is a great guy. Would do anything for him and I mean that. @UKMustangFan I was just messing with you. I can respect anyone who stands up for what they believe. Alot of the rest I have not met, but would love to.

We all want whats best for our country, we just have a different view of how to get there. At least everyone cares or they would not be on here talking about it. There are alot that dont care. I will say this, if everyone cared as much as this group we would be in much better shape as a country.

That's not even close.

I am the winner. But just so much good stuff...lol.

When I finally meet the ones on here I disagree with, the last thing I want to talk about is stupid politics. I will never dislike someone for thinking different than me, hell it keeps me balanced and thinking. With that said, GO TRUMP you liberal socialist scumbags. (JK):lol:

There that is my first emogi I have ever used.
