My answer is No.

There are plenty of political websites out there and if I want to discuss the Presidential Election, the War on Terror, etc. I find those places much better suited to the conversation. For me, it's getting old to see so many posts of political news that have nothing to do with a VisaJourney.

Yes, I know I do not have to read them or participate in them; I am saying that for me I am getting tired of seeing them here on VJ.

Off topic is just that, off topic. If there are any non-immigration political discussions going on elsewhere they will be moved to Off Topic. If you don't like the discussions, don't read them.

Since you asked, for me personally you could find a politically based website and rant all day instead of posting biased political mumbo-jumbo here on VJ; even if it is in Off Topic.

Since you are giving us constructive criticism, I hope you won't mind if I do the same.

I am tired of people like you whining and moaning about political topics on VJ.

What would I like you to do about my tiredness?

I would like you to go see a shrink and get doped up. Political threads are much more entertaining if you are properly medicated.

Try it. We all did :thumbs:

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

Off-Topic is exactly as it says: Off-Topic. The Topic of this website is immigration, therefore Off-Topic will have talk about anything not immigration related. If you only want to read about Immigration, don't go into Off-Topic.

EDIT: I should read posts before posting, sorry for copying your comment Fuzziness. ;)

My impression is the OP has seen political threads that support a political view that he doesn't like so he wants to silence those views. I've had people actually post in political threads that I started, telling me to keep my liberal politics to myself, meanwhile others post their political views without the blink of an eye. It's the old, 'nobody's allowed to have an opinion but me' syndrome...a terrible affliction called the O'Rielly Factor. We need a telethon to find a cure, fast.

I gave what you asked for which was a response to your question. I would not have responded if you had not asked.

Since you say you have seen a shrink and are doped up I now understand where you are coming from. :blink:

As for your suggestion; I think I'll pass.

Your impression is incorrect. I have no desire to silence anyones views.

Does anyone read the actual words people write on this forum? I wrote I know I can choose to not read them and not participate in them.

VisaJourney.com Your Family Immigration Community

Our goal is to educate and provide general information regarding family and marriage based immigration (K1, K3, DCF, etc) for a spouse, fiance, parent(s) or other close relatives to reunite and bring together families. If you are new to the site please take a look at some of our site's great features such as the Guides, FAQ's, Forums, Gallery, Example Forms and more. We provide you with a great array of general information useful in filing your I-129f, I-130, I-134, I-485 and other USCIS and immigration forms. We encourage all members to seek a qualified immigration attorney as this site is no substitute for the valuable help and advice a good attorney can provide!

I guess I missed the part where a bunch of people rant about their personal politics here because they can't find another site to do it at.

Key word...community. We're a community of people and we like to discuss all kinds of things. There are a lot of different topics in OT that have nothing to do with immigration, yet you singled out the political threads. Me thinks you have an axe to grind. ;) Welcome to VJ!

Me too, Nessa.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
