Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Voting. It's that day in a few states.
A boomer today waved to me on the street so I said hello. He had a "I Voted" sticker on, so I mentioned that. I was positive and excited, and also asked if voting was a problem in any way, because I was going later.
He was frustrated about something. OK, what's eating you? Traffic? Hard choices? Protesters or interference? No. He said: "I still don't like Trump, and don't want to vote for him a year from now."
Dude. That's next year!!! Why on a State election day?? Don't you care about your own choice and the consequences??? This is why we can't have a Great Awakening yet. Damn boomers.
Tell them to turn off the TV for a week or two and form their own opinions instead of being told all the time what to think.
