Is it just coincidence that after I started a political discussion that had some people a little irked, that my rating went from being 91/100 one day to 76/100 the next?

It is in no way a coincidence. I have found that people in this day and age have lost the ability to debate. What I mean is, if you disagree or show any kind of argument that goes against their basic opinion of something,especially politics and religion, prepare to have something done to you. Drop in ratings? That's nothing...On my "Feminist Hypocrisy" post, my final comment was not taken by someone on MyLot as the humorous quip that I thought it to be and started sending some pretty non-christian messages to me.(even though it was posted like, six days after the original posting) So now, as much as I love talking about politics, I've kind of laid low, hence my disapearance for a week. All I'm saying is, my rating drops all the time...

Good to see ya frequenting my posts talker. I enjoyed your "feminst hypocrisy" discussion. Can't say I agreed with it but we don't typically debate things that everyone agrees on. What fun would that be?

Awesome posts everyone, but no. It is not a coincidence people today cannot stand to be argued with so they try to retaliate on the internet by anonymously -ing people its rather childish really. But it doeskin really matter if they -1 you because as long as you keep standing with whatever you said eventually others will come along and +1 you unless of course your dissing people in general XD
