    Can we confine LAS and RLIMC to their own forum and just peer in at them from time to time?

    Alternate idea! And one that basically just involves re-discovering an old forum that has fallen into disuse.


    We COULD just take any thread that degenerates into political slapfighting and flamebaiting and move it to Smack Central. And once it's in there, it can be as turd-y as y'all turds want to make it, because I don't have boots deep enough to wade in there.

    So basically, rational, civilized discussions could stay in the SO with the monkeys falling out of trees, Try Are McGrundles, and the Thing in Norm's Leg.

    I was opposed to this idea before, largely because I post in and read economics threads. But, I would take a very perverse pleasure in seeing those who start new threads because they got something in their email inbox to see few views and every fewer posts. I mean most of the time there are perfectly good threads to post in and they can add to an already existing dicussion. But, no it has to be a new thread every time, as I suppose these extreme right wingers can't control themselves and their mad rush to denigrate the president of the US. Any attempt to set up a new forum would be completely wasted because they would start an innocently sounding thread in SO and shortly add on the lastest cut and past jobs from a right wing website.

    Why am I not surprised that you actually feel that all issues can be categorized under those three qualifications?

    This is what I'm going to start doing, I think. I like this idea. A lot.

    Honestly, I wouldn't post in political threads if I thought the criticism was fair and justified. I hate the current scaremongering and hateful diatribe going on now.

    Re: Politics Forum

    Chuck, dude, seriously, you're way off on this one. I'm not going to take the time to research, but I can promise you the anti-dubya threads were 5-1 - at least - over the anti-brack threads. Hell, even tuba, rlimc, and the rest of the resident far Rs were bashing dubya in the last year of his presidency. And that doesn't include all the ill will spewed by our resident ultra-conservative republican LAS.

    You just happen to like O, so you notice it now.

    MODERATE Republican (as all real Republicans are...moderate)

    And I challenge you to find ONE SINGLE thread started by Tuba or RLiMC that bashed Bush. Seriously. Go fer it.

    Dubya had a solid year to two years of SO love after 9/11. Things really got ugly by 2004, though. I wouldn't say that it's 5/1 Bush/Obama now...probably 3/1 at this point...but considering that's an 8yr/1yr ratio...AND considering that Obama wasn't even IN OFFICE before the SO was wallpapered with I hate Obama threads and threads about how he's a secret Muslim...well...the future doesn't look bright.

    Re: Politics Forum

    I think the quality of the Obama threads' stupidity is more concentrated. Dubya's were much more shotgun stupidity. You'd get some stupid here, some stupid there, lots of stupid everywhere. But with Obama, it's all concentrated stupid that's like a fire hose. Sure you only have about three active threads a day, but.... damn.

    Do you think that might be due to Obama's ultimate suckitude though?

    Re: Politics Forum

    I think it's related to Obama's SPECIFIC suckitude. Whereas W sucked at the war on terror, speaking, being a conservative, personal liberties, foreign policy, and a number of other things, Obama hasn't had time to do that. He's pretty much sucked at the economy. Give him time, and he'll have his chances at war, foreign policy, etc.
