Fozz Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 20 minutes ago, C.A.P.E. said: Personally, I had no issue with your op making the analogy you did. But, there are those who watch fox news and believe it is 100% legit. And many of these same folks also believe cnn is left wing garbage. So attempting to take an objective position on the validity of a specific media source gets roped into politics and is divisive. A line is drawn whether that was the intention or not. As a computer science major, I am all about logic, truth, and proof. It should be simple to recognize/validate fact-based reporting. It should not be subjective, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Yeah, making objective observations about media sources shouldn't be censored here out of fear of sounding "political". On a science-based board, logic and truth should be encouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock your socks off buddy. http://www.americanpol.com/bb/index.php?/forum/3-political-roundtable/ Like you I'm good w debate but only where it's 2 sided and civil. What little I've posted/read in there was met w/lots of bashin by a few that seem to "know it all". That to me is not an open forum for opinions....more like open season on any non like minded voices. Have fun. Nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motsco Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 agenda. becomes propaganda and then vise versa. opinion everybody has one, but because of past division and propaganda everyone thinks they have a agenda. most should place their agenda on their families, children, helping others, making sure that elderly are well. hold the door for somebody. and not make their opinions a agenda. the biggest problem is everyone wants to be a winner, got to be right. most yungers can't take being wrong, they can't stand loosing, because even when their team lost 100 to 0 they still got a pat on the back and a trophy .

Prefer not to have some meth-head/opiod addict breaking into my house. I like that my house is surrounded by neighbors that either work from home or are retired and keep an eye out.

North Balti Zen Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Just went and double-checked my memory with the 2013/14 totals thread --- looks like Baltimore people on this board had about 6 inches with that storm. I saw 8-10 inch totals in the Rockville/DC Burbs. And, no, I don't consider a six inch storm remotely close to historic - even for mid-March.

I wouldn't really lower the criteria that much since many huge storms have happened historically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, unless it's April, that kind of snowfall won't cut it as historic. Historic vs. rare is a tough debate. I'd argue that it was rare but not historic, although there is definitely overlap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
