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 evolving
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
I got a call from a Quinnipiac Poll the other day, I always figured if I was ever asked question from one of these big pollsters I'd lie to screw up their data, but I didn't I was honest.
It's strange how they word questions & responses tho They refer to the invasion of our country and immigration with no difference between legal & illegal.
They brought up 'protect our Democracy' not protect our Constitutional Republic and law & Order
They brought up Trumps guilty verdict, but not The laptop from hell or Ashley's diary or the 20 Shell companies in the Biden family.
It's a recorded call, so I pleasantly corrected each lie as they read their script... the person was very nice and I think she was a little taken back when I said we are not a democracy, but I nothing else I said seemed new or shocking to her.
They asked how likely I was to vote in the Presidential Election.... I laughed when I chose 'Very Very Likely" and do I think election are safe & secure.
I've gotten polls where I was given two canned responses to choose from, so I drew a box, checked it, and wrote my response.
