Hasn't this thread crossed the line of being way too political yet...

OLDMAN!!!!

Political? My post?

I have read that 'to be human is be political'...in a broad sense. I think my comment is not even religious or spiritual...more like...philosophical. But if I have crossed some 'line'...please point out where so that I may become more aware.

Harlan, my comment was not in regard to your post, but the entire thread. I feel that his comments and the beliefs he states are too political for this forum.

Matt, it is idiotic, and it is political in nature. This is something along the lines of "pit the left vs. the right" commentary. That's why for the most part I stayed out of it. Just seeing it pop back up again was a little too much.

"Idiotic? Hell yes. Political? I'm not seeing it"

Those two seem to really enjoy each other's company

Agricultural communities are sustainable because someone won't let them have any advances!

Where are these halcyon communities? Can you promise and assure me they have never had any kind of war with their neighbours?

good point. Unfortunately, your question will never be addressed by the thread bearer.

'SUV' only involves his/her self with one-way communication: depositing his conscience on a forum and not engaging in interactive debate is a bit like hanging your trash on a highway billboard sign in order to remind people they are generating too much garbage.

SUV: Thank-you for reminding us...but not very helpful to the overall solution now is it? could you please kindly tell us when you expect to properly dispose your 'message'? have you invented a new kind of solar and smokeless incinerator? or perhaps come up with a way to de-populate the world so there is less demand for resources? Got a 'final solution' for us or will you just continue to whine via loudspeaker?

I think SUV needs to tell us how he/she is part of the solution and not part of the problem....if not, this thread needs to be put in the recycle bin.
IMO

I like that phrase: driveby.

This is one of those moderator calls: when is enough enough and a thread closed? It calls for an evaluation, a concensus that there is no more value to be gleaned from a thread. I know this poster bothers me, due to his behaviour (as noted by Ed), but is it any worse than the numerous threads that get derailed by trivial asides?

If anyone is noting: I second Ed's motion to close the thread. Or is it a third...since Bushi asked first?

yeah, shut it down and maybe something new will develop! It seems unsustainable.
