When people speak to me, I answer. It’s nothing sinister I can assure you.

So you acknowledge you have the intention of answering, right? So why did you deny it 2 posts earlier?

[Boombox90 5,331]

It’s a never ending loop.

Why’s it so hard to love one another? ❤️

I don’t think you really understand the purpose of a discussion forum and opening threads. Its not quora.

Only for those who think this is a conversation. As I wrote before, we all know where Madonna stands, the question needn't be asked to begin with.

So let's break it! Do you admire when Madonna speaks up about political issues you care about?

You're only here to police the thread and drive your opponents out of it because you only want to debate your point of view, aka propaganda.

The question wasn’t where does she stand, the question was why hasn’t she posted about it. It’s two very different things.

I really don’t care. If she feels like she should, then she should.

 

Is Beyonce going to make anyone change their mind and vote? No. I don’t think celebrity endorsements matter much, but as tax-paying American citizens I think they have the right to come out and support who they want.

So Madonna's engagement with political issues over the past decades doesn't mean anything to you? I mean, her support for the LGBTQ community has very much been a political issue. Do you admire that?

you don't seem to realize that the very poor quality of what's being discussed here can actually drive people away. 

very very very very obnoxious methods.

such a waste of time.

so sad to see this forum turn into a cesspool of russian trolls.

I don’t think it’s about that. It’s about inspiring people who may not be bothered voting to go out and do it.

I don’t care. Why are you trying to argue with everyone? 
 

She doesn’t have to tell anyone who she is supporting. I think it’s pretty clear who she is not supporting.

reminder : being a taxpayer doesn't have anything to do with the vote. You need to be a legal citizen to vote, no matter how much you make and how much taxes you pay.

I think Madonna is past the point of changing anyone’s minds about voting. It would be nice to hear her support democracy, but I think we already know that she does.

Because I don’t care. Complain to the mods, not me. I can’t help you with your problems.

K.
 

As an American Citizen everyone has the right to come out and say who they are voting for just like they have the right to not tell us who they are voting for and the right to simply not vote.

I'm having a discussion. I didn't ask about her saying who she's supporting, I asked about her engagement with politics. But OK, you don't care about Madonna's support for LGBTQ people, that's instructive. Does it bother you that many fans do care about it?

then why do you behave like you police the place ffs?

When did I say I didn’t care? 
 

Everyone has the right to care or not to care.

Umm...you literally wrote "I don't care". Are you quite alright?

If people can care and that doesn't bother you, what point are you trying to make in this thread?

Ummm… stop gaslighting people.

Ummm…. Quote me where I typed ‘I don’t care what someone thinks about LGBTQRS people’

And I thought I was argumentative. My God. 🤦🏼‍♂️

As far as I’m aware, I’m following the forum rules. If you don’t like the way I engage with you, report it to the mods or put me on ignore. It seems to be a “you” issue though.

Jesus Christ. Scroll up. You wrote "I don't care" in response to that exact question. Gaslighting is lying about stuff like that, not repeating what someone has actually written back to them.
