I can only speak for myself...but I am NOT an ostrich. It doesn't take reading newspapers everyday to know that most politicians (except Vaclav Havel - heh heh - I have a soft spot for him) are not to be trusted.
I made a choice a long time ago to turn my Focus away from negativity (doesn't mean I don't know what's happening out there!) and towards positivity.
...and about 'choosing'...you don't even have to enter those forums (well, you have to once) to receive the nasty vibes comin' out of there. Just seeing the words: Political Forum, Agression Forum etc. listed down the All Forums list is enough to send negativity, anger, resentment, bitterness through the ethers right at cha.
As others have said this is a Health and Wellbeing site! (one doesn't HAVE to be everything to all people. People & sites SPECIALIZE! (is that discriminatory?)
I, personally, don't think those Forums belong here...but I am not the
Webmaster and owner...and I will respect what forums they choose to open.
I just had to put in my two cents.
