Political Forum?

I've learned much from them, including that they aren't all three eyed two headed monsters, but just people who hold as steadfastly to their views as I do, and DO bring up things that make me see a situation in a different light than I'd normally get.

*Acceptance subject to change, hotheadedness voids all warranties. Offer not available to Ohio, Florida, and possibly New Mexico. :-X

It will all go away in another week or so anyway, so it isn't really going to matter.
Try going to the Herogames.com everything else forum, dude that sucker gets posts so quick that brand new political threads have 200 responses in hours.

I didn't get to vote >:( ;)
I think that if we still have multiple threads in a week, then we should, I actually like talking politics. I think it will dwindle down some in a week or so, but there are still many issues that are "discussable", and will be many more later. I think we have a good spread of the political spectrum here and even when we do get a little... umm... "out of hand", I think we do pretty good at getting back in to focus. Especially considering how deeply entrenched some of us are in our beliefs of what should or should not be happening. I've even learned a few things here and there. One of the things I like about this forum is how well (IMO) we have managed to keep things in their place. Even if someone calls me a rotten apple in a political thread, I will still go out of my way to help them in another thread. I've even had that courtesy extended to me.
It's not my bandwidth, and I would hate to have political "junkies" come in and ruin this site and corrupt its friendly atmosphere. This site is about arcades and not politics. Maybe create a forum but not call it "politics", call it "The Current Administration" or something. That way people that are into this hobby will stumble into politics instead of the other way around. :)

I say NO. We need a Gameplay or Control Panel thread before we need a Political thread.

If it were a choice between a political or CP forum, I'd back the CP forum hands down. Emphasis on layout design.
