The real problem with these places is that they allow anonymity.

Sharing opinions has always been allowed...and many of us have done so from long before the Internet (and its forums) ever existed. We wrote letters-to-the-editor to newspapers and magazines. Except in very, very, very exceptional cases...every comment had to be made with a name and town attached.

The cowardly nut-cases in Internet forums want to spew their bile from cover.

What has to happen...what almost certainly will eventually happen...is that EVERY comment made on the Internet will be made the way comments were made BEFORE the arrival of the Internet...with a full name and town attached.

I think that might temper the bullshit a bit.

Too many nut jobs out there to do that.

These types first need basic education that would convince them of those things that are arguable from random noise and toxic
antipathy.

Moderation is key. Here there is none. Consequently the last common denominator is dominant discourse and the pearls are dropped on the floor
in a vast food fight. You either like a food fight or frankly should leave.

I doubt much 'debate' occurs here. We all come here and share our opinions with each other. And, since we're all convinced we are right, not much mind-changing occurs.

Political forums as a whole have been in decline for a while. When they let loose on restrictions they turn into troll breeding grounds. They also make apt places for the mentally unfit to say things out in the open that would shame them elsewhere.

The first glimpse of self-awareness we've seen out of you so far. Congratulations, Trumplicker!

They have that with Facebook. You use your screen name which is tied to all your info and is not a good idea. I had a post where someone mentioned being on a political chat and they made a threat by posting a picture of the person's house. She said they took it down by the time her complaint to Facebook was received. People in these types of discussions are often too screwed up in the head for words. You don't know what kind of danger they are.

Prior to the Internet...every person who posted a political comment in a newspaper or a magazine...had to include a name and town.

We should get back to that...in order to eliminate the screwed-up people.

In theory I like the idea of people being accountable for their own words, it would probably eliminate 90 percent of racist language , bigotry and libel.

30 years ago the only public forum available for the mentally disturbed to write anonymously was bathroom stall graffiti. Which jpp is the modern equivalent of.

Nothing would stop them from posting phony info.

"Phony info" in politics is a given. Both sides (all sides) will give out information that is skewed from the "truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

That is not the kind of thing I think has to be improved in Internet discussions.

The bile...between individuals is what I see as the problem.

One side can hate former President Obama...and I, a person who thinks positively of him, can have a discussion with that side that does not slip into "then you are a scumbag, jerk-off, cunt." In the same way, one can hate that Trump is our president...and not get into that kind of thing.

The disparagement of groups and cultures, and races would be cut down considerably...and I think cutting down on that would improve the Internet...and the country.

Like russo bot holes and sociopaths

Pretending a criminal doesn't exist wont keep them from robbing you

WE NEED TO KNOW THE WORLD TO LEAD IT TO A BETTER PLACE

yes you are


I spent a good party of my life believing I was just average

Because in my lifetime poor females were NOT ALLOWED to believe they had intelligence to offer

I was always very curvy and Fit

so I was treated like shit




then I took an IQ test and scored in the genius level


I have now accepted that I am indeed smart


this site has seen me end up correct over and over and over in retrospect


I make points people think are out there and then I see my thoughts BARE OUT in the entire world


Its still hard for me type and fully believe this next line but its true


I am A genius


science has said so
