Detroit meltdown thread: McThug gets 28 years in PMITA prison

Re: Detroit meltdown thread: A 2-fer -- Conyers and McThug

No more politics means no more politics - lock it up.

 

Re: Detroit meltdown thread: A 2-fer -- Conyers and McThug

Boom, the underlying theme on all 23 pages is criminal activity. No one has debated political points of view -- hell, not many have come to McThug's defense.
If you have a point to prove, please do it somewhere else. I started this thread and will fight for its merits.

And that's why Webby and Moddy have let it be, as I'm sure they will continue to do.

 

Re: Detroit meltdown thread: A 2-fer -- Conyers and McThug

It still does not take away the fact that at it's core it's a thread about politicians.

 

Re: Detroit meltdown thread: A 2-fer -- Conyers and McThug

No, this is a major news story in southeastern Michigan and most of the rest of Michigan. It is not inherently a political thread just because it happens to involve politicians.

 

Re: Detroit meltdown thread: A 2-fer -- Conyers and McThug

You're right. It is about politicians. It is not about politics. There's a difference.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I third that motion, Slappy. This thread is not a political debate. I think everyone here who knows about the situation agrees that Kwame, Monica, Sam Riddle, etc., are a bunch of dipshits.

Please don't lock this thread.

So if a politician ran into a burning building to save some young childrens' lives, we wouldn't be able to have a thread on it, just because he's a politician?

 

Re: Detroit meltdown thread: A 2-fer -- Conyers and McThug

Obama figuratively has just done just that and we can't discuss it. To me it needs to be all or nothing - no shades of gray.

 

Re: Detroit meltdown thread: A 2-fer -- Conyers and McThug

Boom, maybe they should just remove you from this thread instead of locking it. We've gone 23 pages without problem until you showed up.

 

Re: Detroit meltdown thread: A 2-fer -- Conyers and McThug

This place is a much better place when there are no political discussions.

Webby's decision to get rid of the political board was one of the best ones ever made for this site.

It is a sports journalists board.

 

Re: Detroit meltdown thread: A 2-fer -- Conyers and McThug

You could say the same thing about some of the other political discussions. It should be all or nothing. At it's core this is a story about political malfeasance. You can't spin it any other way.
