Missing or want access to the Politics and Religion forum? Before you can be given access, you have to jump through a few small and quick hoops:

1. Read the rules.

2. Read them again. PnR (Politics and Religion) tends to get heated and testy sometimes. If you can't discuss politics and religion without disregarding the rules of the forum, then PnR isn't for you.

3. Send saint a private message (preferred) or email requesting access to the PnR forum. Unless you've gotten into grief elsewhere on the forum you'll get access to PnR. However, in the PM/email you send saint, you need to summarize what the rules say (don't cut and paste, prove you've actually read them) briefly, and acknowledge that you can debate politics and religion without losing your cool. Make sure PnR or Politics and Religion is somewhere in the title of your message so I can find it easily.

I personally think discussing politics and religion with fellow arcade enthusiasts is interesting and enjoyable, even if the opinions of half the people are just plain wrong (I don't mean yours of course, I agree with yours.... unless you're wrong, in which case I don't!). It frankly ticks a lot of people off however, and sours them on interacting with certain users in the rest of the forum. If this might be you, don't ask for access -- you won't like it.

Ah well, that rules me out ...  Wink

It took me all day looking at other posts to even realize the P&R forum was even missing.  Grin Hmmm, it appears that the only people who would even want to gain special access to P&R are the people that wouldn't be granted access. Wink Good one!

If you can't discuss politics and religion without disregarding the rules of the forum, then PnR isn't for you.

Doh!  Guess I'll have to stick to the rule-abiding forums, then!  Tongue

I am sure my opinion is wrong, so I should be more than welcome in Politics in Religion.

Funny, I came back here to see if PnR was still around, and it appears that this is recent. Ironic.

I dont come here to discuss politics or religion. besides i never agree with anybody.

im conservative but im not religious at all. My dad is the same way.

politics i am about evenly split. i agree or not depending on the issue.

im a future 3rd party candidate, lol.

anyways, its probably better that i didnt even notice that you have a P+R Forum.

There's a tremendous difference between 'conservative in outlook', and 'conservative in method'. One is subjective, the other is not.
