That seems like a rather odd thing to ask Mercatalyst about. Yeah, I know that Meshuggah’s second album was highly regarded in the metal genre, but I wouldn’t have thought Mercatalyst would care much about “Destroy Erase Improve” even though it’s apparently a great album.
In the current cultural climate in the US, this now has to be considered a political issue, even though my own opinion is that it’s not and never should have been, the nation’s history of failure notwithstanding. Ergo I expect that the thread will end with “take it to the PBS topic”.
@ItalianScallion that thread should seriously just be deleted, …there’s like one actual conversation that isn’t just folks insulting each other or just overall acting like Nelson from the Simpsons, “Ha! Ha!”
I don’t understand it’s need to exist…if folks can’t keep it out of the other threads, whack 'em with a temporary time-out, followed by the boot if they can’t figure out that there’s thousands of other places they can go do that stuff instead.
@ItalianScallion Must be all the mods are attending a mandatory “Reprogramming” seminar to adjust to a new America free from discrimination of any kind??
@ItalianScallion@PHRoG
On the Nelson HaHa image should it have said Groening?
(Trying to distract from the topic but we are not far from a country where retailers post a red or blue flag in their window and people either boycott or intentionally shop there more based on the color match).
@PHRoG As @ItalianScallion said, the thread is still here so we must accept it (with respect and dignity as we always do…?). Keep in mind, this month’s goat has spoken. Goat wisdom shall not be questioned. But there is a page for complaining about it, or anything else.

@yakkoTDI they are going at it.
I’m not going to touch this. No politics outside of the home.
@cengland0 or outside of the politics thread. @thumperchick???

@werehatrack which now means take it out to the back alley (or the floor of Congress).

If they aren’t getting any funding from the Government or providing services to them then I guess it doesn’t matter.
Shouldn’t this discussion belong in the Political Bullshit 2025 thread or do we not want to disturb the mudslinging going on over there with @Felton10, @shahnm, @IndifferentDude, and sometimes @OnionSoup?

@PHRoG I totally agree with you, but since it’s still there, it’s probably the best place to put hot button political topics like this.
