There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

My Mom was a single parent back in the day when it was still very much frowned upon. My Grandparents had 10 kids so 1 more mouth to feed wasn't much. My 'Pa' married Mom 7 months after I was born and raised me as his along with my brother and sister who were born later. I have had no contact with my real father who was German visiting Canada from what Mom told me.
