Guys,

this is a SW newsgroup and politics has nothing to do with it. It doesn't
belong here. I remember when I first started out and came here, RHF and many
others were such great help to me and answered all my questions for me. RHF
was right up there with his good natured heart and helpful ways. I even was
talking about radio with Dxace and he gave me good radio advice too.

Now, with all the OT political posts, including mine recently, the radio
hobby friendships I had have been somewhat ruined. I hope not, but it's hard
to take back bad feelings especially personal political stuff.

I feel badly about all this cause in reality our posts will not change
anything except cause strong emotions and bitter feelings. Even though Mark
Holden is a very intelligent and understanding person, I can't help but see
these arguments causing mixed feelings between us. I hope not I truly do. I
have not changed my feelings towards him in any way whatsoever.

So, I think it's best to get back to what we're all really here for, radio
fun!!!!!!!
Rah rah turn that knob!!!!!

I mean what good does all these political posts do actually? All it does is
divide people and causes hate. Do we really need this in our lives? Many of
us are getting up there in age and we definitely don't need this
aggravation.

It's a tit for tat game that's all. Sure we can still discuss politics but
in the proper group for it if we chose to do so. I know, I'm one to talk
after all my postings and rantings but then it hit me how the good times
were so much better then this and how it turned into a mess.

I don't want to blame anyone else for my posts, but it all started with
people dropping in here JUST to post their agenda. It's hard not to get
involved after reading one these OT posts. You just naturally want to voice
your opinions. I'm going to try and stay out of these types of posts now. In
the end I see no point in them for this SHORTWAVENEWSGROUP.

Sorry
Lucky


These are extraordinary times. We are under siege and unless we
resist the fascists they will make your shortwave radio illegal.

There are already laws drafted that make listening outside broadcast
bands verboten.

So what happened that took these good natured people into the realm of
limited vocabulary and constant insults towards those they disagree
with?
It seems to me they have been making their own beds for quite a while.
Not once have I ever been a witness to either one admitting they were
perhaps wrong about something, or even willing to admit that maybe
someone else had a viable point of view.
Instead all we hear is " 'tards" and "tote that ...".
I'm sure they're lovely human beings, but they haven't a clue as to
how to behave in public.
Yes this is a sw group, it's too bad certain people like to intimidate
others (to the point they leave, thus making the group less that what
it could be).
And all of this is a shame, because with the knowledge these
individuals posses, and the passion they exhibit towards it, they
could be instrumental in reaching new listeners.
But they choose to denigrate anyone who may seem to be a little
different than they are.
If shortwave listening is dying, it is in part to people like these,
who care not a whit about the hobby, only how important they look.
And if they are the shining examples of today's modern Republican
party, the Republican party is in a lot worse shape than most people
realize.

The 'tards.

Mommy hasn't done it for me in years. YMMV

You've simply not paid attention. Figures.

Instead all we hear is " 'tards" and "tote that ...".

If it fits, yes.

I'm sure they're lovely human beings, but they haven't a clue as to
how to behave in public.

And you'd be wrong yet again!

Ha! Imagine intimidating someone via RRS. I ain't buying it, 'tard.

And all of this is a shame, because with the knowledge these
individuals posses, and the passion they exhibit towards it, they
could be instrumental in reaching new listeners.

I'm not in the recruiting biz, sorry.

But they choose to denigrate anyone who may seem to be a little
different than they are.

Yep, gotta call 'em as I see 'em.

If shortwave listening is dying, it is in part to people like these,
who care not a whit about the hobby, only how important they look.

Bull****!

And if they are the shining examples of today's modern Republican

Worse shape? Damn, won the last two elections. Once again, you're not paying
attention.

Continue to tote.

What have you ever done for your Country? It takes smarts to understand

Those are laws. That's just your user agreement with Sirius.

Maybe in your country, but not in mine. So, would you mind awfully if
you used an appropriate local/regional/national newsgroup to talk
about your local laws and politics please? Cheers, mate.

Shortwave propogates. Politics doesn't.
