Proposal: new Politics forum

I have no idea what it takes to get a new forum off the ground, but what do people think about a new forum for the discussion of politics and political systems ?

This would be a place where sherrife, david & frank can tee off at each other to their heart's content and it would give member an outlet for his political statements. It would save a lot of threads that start off being humorous or interesting from descending into tiresome political bullshit.

i don't think it would save any threads, the threads would still morph into political debates and always will.

I'm happy to leave it as it is.

lol, I thought that's what the VPT was... Wink

I agree with PP. Threads do change, and probably still would, whatever measures you take. However, as it is clearly pissing a few people off, I'll try to avoid posting off-topic in the future, even if it is interesting. Evil or Very Mad

nothing wrong with the current setup.

Works both ways. I've seen a few political threads derail into something humorous, or some lame attempt at it. Probably guilty of the odd one myself Smile

Oh yeh, and the Democrats take it in the @$$

Noddy, if you don't like what they write don't read it. No one is holding a gun to your head.

noddy, you're quite welcome to start your own threads of interest, you might be pleasantly surprised. Not my idea of a tavern either, don't have much interest in politics but usually find enough other stuff to keep me occupied.

So,

Liberals suck,
Greens swallow and
democrats take it in the ^&$%.

I guess all that's left to say is Labor does the first 2 in order after doing the third.
