Donald Trump is a disgrace.
Anyone who ridicules "defund the police" as meaning that all police are eliminated is a stupid person.
Referring to "Chinese Flu" is politically charged. Referring to "Wuhan Flu" is politically charged.
The First Amendment protects one's right to free speech. One may say what they want in one's own videos, on his one's own blog, on a soapbox on the corner. The right to free speech does not extend to forcing any company (social media or otherwise) to amplify what one has to say.
See, this is fun! We all have opinions, and these opinions are perfectly fine to put in this thread as long as we're not quarreling. Neat!
But where do you stand on the ticket renewal?

Beat it, troll. This message board is for JMU sports. Keyword: JMU.

Ehhhh.....1st amendment and all.....nothing you can do about it. It's my constitutional right to troll JMU message boards.
I'm kidding. Good luck with your ticketing and off-topic situations guys.

That’s a good way to be considering this is a forum for JMU to discuss sports as well as OT things related to the school. Seems 99.8% of the posters get that and bring something to the table in discussing things related to JMU and sometimes veer off into OT discussions that sometimes end up like this. However, there’s somebody here that brings nothing to the table in any JMU discussion and does their best to derail any discussion related to politics and that is a problem. Shame there’s no active moderating going on to nip it at the bud. Somebody needs to be put on time out until they are able to discuss what the forum is here for (JMU sports) and not just fan the flames of nonsense.

Yeah dude, I was super outraged when I said "please stop." Such outrage.
"Deafening silence" of having a life outside of the message board. You nailed it.
You don't know a thing about me or the type of person I am. I don't know you either. But I do know that my experience with JMU was of acceptance and a united community, not of a bunch of people attacking each other and arguing about politics.
If that's your JMU vibe, I'm glad I missed your corner of campus. If that isn't your vibe but you've become a grumpy adult who likes arguing about social issues and/or negatively characterizing people you've never met, that sucks for you. It'd be nice if you kept it out of our JMU sports space though.

There's too much pissing in here that was let go to possibly correct it all at this point, but this post was particularly egregrious so I'd like to point this out with a ... if I see anybody do this kind of large scale ****-stirring I'll probably just push their eject button instead of bother with a warning.
I'm locking this thread. Please start a new poll if you'd like less poo-riddled poll content.
