I am thinking of adding a POLITICS boards. With the up coming elections and all the...........well crap that comes from all of government. Since this topic can tend to get a bit HOT in discussion I would like everyone's opinion.
I look forward to hearing from you all. ;D ;D ;D

Overall I have no objections... The pros... I agree with what snizz said that it's something that needs to be talked about openly and not ignored. There are probably some folks around here that would rather avoid it...and having a seperate board would enable them to bypass the topic if they choose to. The cons... We've always taken great pride in being the kind who can never quite stay 'on topic' ;D ...a thread will start out as one thing- and as Shooter previously said, the wheels come off and we wind up way out in left field. Like with the Weather thread- or more recently snizz's thread...the original topic started out as one thing and unintentionally wound up veering off on politics. Sometimes it just pops up and I'd hate to loose the spontaneity...those wind up turning out to be the more interesting discussions. Those are just my thoughts- either way's fine with me and I'll go along with the majority...

I'm sure I'd be more upset if I weren't quite so heavily sedated

A special board for us fed up peeons to piss and moan on. I like it! ;D Nah, I don't think putting it all in one spot would affect the long and winding roads Red. We're pros. ;D By the lack of response, it doesn't look to me like most people posting here give a damn either way. There's not many people around who's taste in music jives to talk with, so why not add a board to talk about something the ones who are around do have a common interest in? And I'd really hate like hell to miss one that might wind up on another board here I might miss! ;D snizz sets an hour a day aside for snizztime and I'd like to use it wisely. ;D

I don't know if I'm entitled to a vote since I'm pretty new to this forum, but I've enjoyed reading through the political posts. The people who are posting on the subject have a great sense of humor about it sans the typical inane bickering you see on most other message boards. I think it's a good idea to have a board for it instead of stumbling on it by chance while reading through mostly unrelated topics on various other boards.

Thank you Roughneck, these days one can't take things like that for granted. I just don't want to be too forward since I am new and wasn't sure if I'd earned my citizenship rights around here yet.

What's with the weird layout on the Politics board? Seems TM's gettin' absent minded in his old age ;D and forgot to write the code when he created the new board. Men. Ahem- thanks to the woman...it's all fixed now. ;D
