Look in your profile.

Biggest thing on here, it to act mature. Spell everything correctly. This isn't like texting on a phone, this is a bit more of a serious discussion than that.

There is a place for not spelling out words and acting immature but LPF isn't one of them. There are plenty of other laser message boards though that are filled with immature posts. You should check some of them out.

The television news channels showed electoral maps with states going Republican in red and states going Democrat in blue. They picked red and blue because those are colors in the flag, but it was pretty arbitrary which color got assigned to which party (maybe R for republican). Anyway, people are very visual, and as commentators talked about the map, it was as natural to talk in term of colors as it was to talk in terms of parties. So, we had the phrase "red state" as often as we had 'republican state', and after awhile it became catchy to talk that way.
