No matter if your views lean left, right, middle, up, down, or diagonal, there are some things that as people we can all agree upon. I have been on this board for going on three years and I have yet to see one thing that backs up my theory. So in the spirt of the Holidays lets come together as a message board and lets post topics/ideas that as people we can all agree upon! Afterwards there will be smores and much singing and rejoicing 🙂 Me first… 1. Baby killers are bad 2. Rapists are bad 3. The Sun provides us with warmth and light Thats all I got… ---

While Music may be close to being the Universal Language, there are not many things quicker to bring heated arguments than issues relating to musical tastes. Even people who seem to agree on the style of music involved (Rock, Folk, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Classical, Instrumental, Vocal, Country, Latin, name it) will argue with vigor about sub-genres, artists, bands, etc. ---

More bacon, I would agree with, but it aint Kosher or Halal or Vegitarian, so there are several dopers who wouldn’t agree. ---
