Depends if people actually want to discuss politics, or just indulge in the sort of childish partisan bickering that now passes for politics.
Most of it is just spill-over from TNZ anyway, from people that either can't handle the responses in TNZ, or who got booted out and just moved the game to another venue...
Nothing wrong with the topics themselves, only that a lot of the political threads in here lately aren't really for discussion so much as trying to score some political "points" somehow, or bait people into an argument.

Which has actually been happening since the First Continental Congress, but I digress.

Ha ,yes very true, but these days people don't even need to get up from their desk to do it, hell you can even do it while you're still in bed![]()
I like the idea of having serious topics in Misc, but the political threads in this forum, such as The Cinderella Story and The Obama Bow, are hardly serious. The pointless arguing and political jabs from both sides is no different from TNZ. Sure, you get less name calling, but it's the same thing. Lengthy threads that serve no purpose other than to be a battleground for the left and the right to spar with each other.
Then don't participate in political topics. Why impose your personal dislikes on others by calling for a ban on all political discussion?I really don't want Misc to become a TNZ lite, so I'd be willing to throw the baby out with the bath water. It's really disgusting bath water.
I see it as an attempt to start a serious discussion, but inevitably these then descend to name-calling, posturing, and the re-emergence of grievances already established in TNZ - to the extent that they are ultimately the extension of already-commenced TNZ battles spilling over into the rest of the board.
