politcal forum

[aussiecreeder]

steve have you considered a political forum? do you trust us to behave like adults and not resort to calling liberals pinkie commies? i have seen politcal and religious discussion work well at bb's (the board *advertised* below lol is a good example as long as the mods stay on top of things.)

Actually thats gonna happen. We have a stickied thread in Chat-O-Rama where we ask you guys for input. If there is an idea for a forum section or anything else that you think we need, tell us, specially now that we're in a giving/caring construction mood. Get in while the getting in hot.

[aussiecreeder]

cool thanks i will go and check that out.....

I think a political forum would be a great idea

[DekWannaBFlea]

I don't think this is such a hot idea. All this forum is going to turn into is a liberal bashing-fest. There will hardly be any dissent either so i don't see a point.

Whats the point of having a political discussion if no one gets thier head bashed in? Anyway, albiet there will be a load of shit flinging, it will keep the political discussions away from those that dont want to deal with it. Kinda of like the religion forum.

In order to have a political forum worth having their needs to be both sides represented. And i doubt their will be enough of the "left" represented.

No, a political forum is for those who want it. Most of those that agree with one being there is so they wont have to look at it during thier normal readings.

bmf,

Actually during the election all the political talk was put in Chat-o-Rama. The reason for setting up a political forum was so that those who did not want to read those types of threads could simply avoid the political forum. I never did create it (mainly because I forgot about it). If there's still deman, I'll create it but it seems that with the election over there's not much talk anyways.

Why some threads on political banter were deleted? As for instance, where are the 'CNN' posted by trimontana and also 'Guns=Violence' posted by me, 'Do you let Religion dictate political views?' posted by anarkist , and 'How are we supposed to believe..'. posted by heavenbesideyou?

[Mulletman]

We dont like you, sorry you had to hear it like this.

Everytime we do a system overhaul or an upgrade you run the risk of losing some threads. Sometimes they are lost within the system and just need to be found other times they are just gone for good. Thats most likely what happened here. I havent heard of any complaints from these threads so I highly doubt they were intentionally deleted.

[Ana4Stapp]

Yeah, I found in my posts all of them (because i love politcs and of course i had posted in all of those forums ) and they are listed on political banter, but they dont appear...
