If you do this.. those of us who have spirits will start our own petition to retaliate.
For me the annoyance comes when someone who is stuck in depression brings down those of us who are manic.
Should we maybe seperate the board into BD for manics & BD for depressives?

I have no problems with people discussing whatever they want to. What is the need for separation and exclusivity?

here here tommy!

Let's don't split anything and just keep on steppin together, because for me, I'd just keep jumping back and forth!! Especially since I'm manic today.xoxo

Hmmm, segregation didn't work in the past, so lets not bring it to a discussion board, k?

Segregation sucks!!!

I was jsy thinking that politics and religion are such touchy topics that maybe they would be better to have their place. I really feel that some of you were rude and that was highly uncalled for. I meant this to be an opinion topic. A would it be or wouldn't it be a good idea kind of post. I also expressed my feelings on it as I would expect others, but I tried to be respectful in doing so. This is a BIPOLAR board. It isn't a do you believe in God board. I am not trying to be rude, just trying to be clear on what I'm trying to say. Please don't reply in a rude fashion. It wasn't meant to be that kind of topic.

If religion is kept here I have no problem agreeing with that. I would like it though if members would check and see if another topic has posted with a similar thought or same thought and add a reply, than start a whole new topic just so they can watch for their own replies. It feels inconsiderate and rude when I see so many topics on the same thing. It's a lot to file through when you haven't alot of time, or a short attention span.

wyldegirl, how long have you been on Ds. This is usually nt an ongoing thing

Bi-polar can discuss anything, what not be an issue for you, may be for others and are trying to get help.

I've been here for around a couple months. I only started posting around a couple weeks ago b/c I used to only read, I was uncomfortable in the beginning. I am not saying there is anything wrong with religion, I am a dedicated member of my own faith. I would love to post on religious subjects. I just feel that just as I wouldn't go into a Cancer board (for instance) and expect support for my bipolar, then maybe religion should have it's place as well. This only an idea.
