We have just pretty much blown off 2020. I'd actually like to tell this year to "F" off. We are doing minimum boating in hopes that 2021 will be a return to normal. Thanks China.

You should open your mind to facts and not listen so much to what the Communist News Network et al tells you...

Sorry, not sorry, But I ain't sitting here quietly about this one. Every other country in the world is getting the pandemic under control. The orange crapbag, bunker boy, whatever your favorite name for him, along with his enablers, are fully responsible for the mess America is facing right now! So quite frankly, the moron squatting in our white house can "F" off. The only hope for 2021 returning somewhat to normal will be with a return to someone qualified to be president! BTW, boating is still great for isolation and social distancing! Probably of which I need to do more of! Nuff said. :mrgreen: Colby

I’m glad we all figured out where you and a few others stand - thanks for that but most really don’t care!
There are two choices and one isn’t going to make it come November after we vote (pretty simple) and by slandering our president doesn’t make you sound like a very nice person. If I slandered Biden or supported Trump would you call me a racist? Is anyone attacking you personally? We all have our strong opinions about politics and I learned to leave mine at the door on this site because it’s a place to enjoy conversations and experiences with our great boats and I suggest we all do so however hard it may be!
Believe me I could say much more on the subject but I’m biting my tongue In respect to others and I’m sure many more are doing the same!

Often seems we haven't learned much in the past couple thousand years.

Real knowledge must be gained through reason.

Might be good to keep in mind.

Aye.
 
This conversation is totally relevant to a boating forum. I'd like to suggest using Facebook to alienate yourself from friends and family like most other boomers and leave politics off c-brats. :thup
 
Foggy, thanks for the quote from Plato. I've long felt that we should have the emotional maturity as adult men to weather the political beliefs others express. Some of these comments are aimed at guys like me, center-left politically, but my first inclination is to ask myself why does something piss me off?
But again, though this is a boating forum I'm one who's fine with a lively exchange of political opinions from most all sides--as long as we're not incendiary, or attack one another. And as public figures, politicians are fair game. I think we're guys with a wealth of education and experience--much more than just C-Dory devotees. I'm not intimidated to learn a bit more about how one views the world.

Here, here.

I find this forum a very interesting place....a place of intelligent conversation on many subjects (but especially about boats of course). The conversation normally stays pretty civil too in spite of differing views.
 
I think moving previous discussions like this to "That's Life" was a mistake. Rather than being a negative to visitors, I think it is a positive. It shows how members really do follow the "just be nice" guideline and can accept comments from other silos.

I agree this is a boating forum but we all live in this world and the most important things happening right now are Covid and the election. Come Nov 3 someone will win and someone will lose but Covid will still be here. Wear masks and social distance.

I sure wish the Canadian border would reopen.
 
OK tha tis fine with me ,too. But I don't see how Mark's post could be considered "just nice" in any way, shape, or form. Don't get me wrong, I'm not adverse to heated controversy (My family just reminded me that the swear jar will be reactivated the day after the November election......), I just don't follow your logic.i
 
Yeah, Mark, after reading your post and dodging those stones, I thought it might have been a good idea for you to pull 'er back a few hundred RPM's. And hey, I get riled when anybody goes after my pal Pat!

I love C-BRATS, and this place is full of some really neat, special, talented, helpful people who have such varied backgrounds, professions, opinions and resources it amazes me how well we get along, on so many subjects. With so much variety in members it is not surprising to have considerable variety in opinions. It is admirable in how well we get along. I would raft with anyone on this site, anytime.

I don't often participate in political debates, not that I don't care, (I vote so I have the right to complain about politicians, maybe express is a better word), it is knowing that it is my opinion and may not matter to others.

I was thinking that this thread should be in the "That's Life" forum, but looking back through this thread, it is pretty evident that the one rule has been pretty well applied, and that there are many who have held back, for what ever reason. I tend to agree that maybe it's OK for it to stand as a showcase of how our diversity is not divisive. I have been on this site for quite a while and it is my "Go To Place". WE express, discus, differ, defend, digress and still get along. Politics and religion are two very personal issues where we all are right, according to us. There are places, times and subjects on which we might disagree, but we seem to all agree, this place is where we can come because we trust and respect each other and our differences.

CBRATS is a great place, and so is America, and our Canadian friends accepted -- we love you too. You have the right to have your opinion, and to share it and defend it. AND we have the moral obligation to respect each other and those rights. So, Thanks for sharing and caring, and beefing and boating, AND getting along. Agreeing to disagree. We still have commonalities. Our love for our boats and for the water, in however we use it.

If you don't vote out your crazy president the border will stay closed forever. 15,000 cases in Florida yesterday! We had 220 new cases in all of Canada.

hopefully the truth will set us free...
 
There are LOTS of forums about politics.

This one is about C-Dory boats and boating.

I, for one, think we should keep it about C-Dorys and boating.

That alone can occupy my mind for the centuries.

Boat safe, and best wishes to you and yours!

John
