I often wonder about the Ancestry tests, they make a LOT of assumptions. It seems like everyone is related to royalty. Well... kings and other nobility back in the day DID like to "bless" marriages by sleeping with the new wife on the first night... The practice was referred to as Prima Nocta Ya I know. Paternity is always in question. Ancestry just assumes....

Only because deyana, has started laying down some rules. A while back trust me it made your place look like daycare LOL I'm getting tougher I tell ya. (It's not easy being a Mod I have to say - no matter what you do someone is happy and someone else is unhappy, but I try my best).

Same here. I have friends and family members that run the gamut from die hard Trumplicans to true Berkeley liberals, and I get along with each and every one of them. And because they are respectful human beings, they don't assault me with their politics. I don't discuss politics on FB, and scroll by most political posts. I think the problem with some is that they judge a person based on their politics, or their view of the person's politics, and allow them to be only that. That is, in my opinion, what causes people to leave places like this. You're like the forum Sage...Seriously, that is best way to have friends and family, just stay away from the conversations that you know will cause issues... Seems so simple you wonder why people can't follow your lead??? Yup, not even the slightest of posts about politics or religion, its was a sort of Canadian mantra ages ago.

(It's not easy being a Mod I have to say - no matter what you do someone is happy and someone else is unhappy, but I try my best). No it is not an easy job. I think you do very well with this crew. It is not bad compared to some other boards. Also, you always have the eternally offended, not much you can do with that.

I'm sorry to say I don't understand that...My views differ from most of my family and some of my friends we just don't talk about it...The world is full of so much more interesting topics then politics I don't see the need and the way I see politics that it is personal and not needed to be discussed...jmo Politics are important, after all we rely on our leaders to lead the country and do good for us. But I don't let it consume me, that would be too miserable...

Not all, majority of mine criminal in nature...A climb up that tree makes the Rwandan Genocide seem like a family picnic... Interesting Do expand on that Maxx, let's discuss it on the ancestry thread: LINK: sunnyds.proboards.com/thread/22780/ancestry-im2-post-wishes

Too many illegitimate Royal babies were being produced...

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of job. I have rules against personal attacks but people find sneaky ways around them. Yep, I hear ya.

I like to argue, that should be fairly obvious, but it is done good-naturedly. Oftentimes, I just pick a side and go with it. But there is really never any need for a conversation amongst adults to devolve into a name calling cussing match. Leave that I'd middle school.

When we have those that we elect to be in the highest Office (Presidents for instance) basically verbally abusing each other (and lately physically too), who is there to look up to? It's getting harder to find examples of good people who can debate without anger, hostility and rudeness.

Each person chooses how they present themselves. What I see as a major issue is that people, in general, listen to respond and not to understand. That is where the rudeness stems from. In my opinion, of course.

Sometimes a person has to get down and dirty to get thru to the ones who started down and dirty. But they never see it, just blame the other.

LOL... with the censorship and ministry of truth that @naz 's place has going... it IS like day care!(well... it was when I left and before he blocked access to non-members) Is this a place to diss other boards? Reported. So I have to let everyone know that the full set of rules for this forum are set out in Your Choice branch. They must be followed and I do check up on them. Here is a part of those rules: Please do not put up links to your or other conversation/debate forums in posts while in conversation, this is not an advertising site. Advertising your forum (or another forum) in your sig-line is not allowed on here. You may however, put the link to your forum (if you are the forum owner), in your profile.So other than putting your link to your forum in your main profile, please leave conversation about other boards off from here. It never ends well, and what happened at other places needs to stay there.

Why do you need anyone other than yourself to look up to? Each person chooses how they present themselves. Well so we can come to the conclusion of who best to vote for. Do people vote for those they don't respect or look up to in some small way? That is what we hope for anyway. Doesn't mean we don't respect ourselves, just that we do need to put our trust in someone don't we.

A great many people vote for whom they believe to be the lesser of two evils, and look up to neither. I don't know too many people who look up to politicians of any stripe.
