Lotta time and energy being spent fighting over shiite that don't mean shiite. I spent a couple of extended periods this year so far,not engaging in political discussion anywhere. I didn't stop reading articles or comment sections or reading posts/threads here in PJ and elsewhere but I didn't engage in any kind of commentary/discussion. What I saw floored me a little. I remember the hot topics that burned up PJ with multiple threads with PJers flaming each other and the same thing happening in comments sections at other sites. Guess what? Those topics are gone from discussions now and don't have a damn thing to do with anything going on now. I'm not even gonna say what they were or they'll flare up again right here in this thread. I'm much more selective about what I discuss and post about now. Too many hills being fought over that ain't worth dying on.
