M_Sable Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Whether you are Left or Right, in the middle, or disgusted with both sides, why are you here? There are very few places to just vent and express your 1st Amendment rights and debate. It should be in a civil manner. I am here to do all of that, and not to vilify opponents, but to learn and consider the value of opposing viewpoints, and if valid, reconsider. You? Are you stuck where you are, and this just a happy circle jerk? I see a lot of not listening and disrespect. Not good unless that is what this forum is what you want. If everyone agrees with you, what is the point? Self validation? Let's be better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbaGump Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I've been coming here since Garo has owned it, it was the place to find all the news that the press or other media wouldn't make public. The people that come here mow on the most part want to read how smart they are or how important they think they are. Those of us that no longer live in the area look to the voice to keep in touch with Broome county. It's a shame that a few ruin the concept for others.

Responsible_Adult_Female Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I used to read a lot here with people expressing different opinions and we could discuss like adults. Now it's all political, most the time; and if your thread isn't liked, it disappears. It has turned into just a few postings now with bad attitudes about everything. Most days I don't even look anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerSomeone Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Mostly to piss people off. I try and add some comments to provoke some thought. Whether it is my opinion or not. ;-) Like a tire: to be in balance and spinning properly you need some weight opposite the bigger lumps.

Messageburglar Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Can you really and express your 1st Amendment rights and debate in an environment where content is limited? I think not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bored or curious Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I agree it has become mostly political. I used to frequently post and comment around however I have no interest in others political opinions, or having pissing matches about one either.

kimber Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 It's so political because trump has been so divisive, not just here, but all over in bars, family settings, etc. It's been a long time since we've seen something as bad as this president and a lot of people are very upset about it.

Can't you just holster your anti-Trump boner for just one thread? Damn, get over it already!!!! You're one of the reasons I don't come here all that often!

M_Sable Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Just look two posts above mine, P&C....part of this thread. The point is a general one....very often on here, as in our national political discourse, civility has given way to childish name-calling as opposed to reasonable discussion. I'd prefer the latter, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsexpert Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 This is not a Trump bashing article, rather a thought provoking piece on challenging our own beliefs. We can easily see flaws in others beliefs, but we can't see them in ourselves. This sounds like many a BCVoicer?? https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/10/07/opinion/sunday/trump-republicans-confirmation-bias.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
