    Political Grandstanding

    I would like to remind members that ICELL is not for political grandstanding and any posts that are deemed to be biased and politically slanted will be deleted. Although many here may have strong political views Icell is not the forum to express those views. Keep your political views to yourselves and keep ICELL neutral. .

    "Political Grandstanding" may be a poor choice of words!!!!! Is it "Right Wing" or is it "Intelligent Discussion"??
    However I agree with you that Icell isn't the ideal place for political discussion as it sickens me to see how peoples minds have become like cement,"permantly set and all mixed up"!!!!!
    GLTA, heaven help us!!!!!!If there is one.

    i think political discussion and how it relates to stem cell research and invested interest is appropriate. i think discussing politicians views as they relate to our investment is important. i agree that bashing your political opposition on other issues doesn't belong here because its just rubbish. i get enough of it on the daily news. what i want to hear here is how a politicians views on stem cell research and applications as they move to create solutions to the some of the most profound ailments.

    Just got back, off the top of my head, Political Dragnet ,just the facts!!!!
    Too much crap and not enough factual information, I'm going to stop posting on the political threads because there is really a serious morality problem in peoples minds that I believe will never be rectified because of selfcentered , greedy. attitudes deeply embeded in their minds.I can't relate to this mindset and thus I'm not going to frustrate myself too much in the future. I find the situaton "PATHETIC".

    Isn't that why we have a 'Political Discussion' segment of the forum? I had assumed that was for political discussions. My bad. Sorry.

    Yes, that's what I thought as well.But apparently its not politically correct to have an opinion and discuss your thoughts and views in a constructive manner.
    Apparently,we would be in violation of something speaking openly and honestly.So keep your views and thoughts to yourself and aid in the effort to kick the can down the road.
    That's how the powers in charge would like it all anyway,Professional sheep.BBBBBBAaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHH

    There are no sheeeep moderating the political discussion forum, otherwise i would probably be given a week off, for some of my comments!

    I do however feel that non stemcell related political ramblings be restricted (for want of a better word) to either Rants & Raves, or Political discussion forums.

    If it's ok with everyone, this thread is now moot and I'm gonna close it. Thanks.
