if they turn or start to then i whole heartedly agree with locking them down.

and sorry stacey i wsn't taking a pop at you. just wondering why threads get locked if they aren't offensive or causing propbs as such other than being non productive. i see many that people stop responding to that just decline into obscurity lol. just seems funny that the ones that do seem to get locked more than any are the ones that qestion how or why things.

and xeno i never saw anyone come into this thread and make anything turn personal. as such. i found it interesting. i'd never heard of neocon or what one was till i read the discussion here about it.......if thats your stance on discussing politics why do it?.......i just think it a shame that people acnt' discuss something through to an end and then just leave it in case others want to pick up where someone left off is all. is that bad of me? i find it pretentious  when someone says their say they then say yes it is rather going off topic and infer it should be junked. specialy when the topic they were discussing had little to do with the original topic that started the thread.
