Anyway, as I have said before I don't like politics, but its been mentioned that they are relevant to the MES, and its the reason why I think they should stay.
I think we should concentrate more on Billy kissing Bush's arse rather than politics in general.
We really need a separate politics section, as this isn't possible now we should restrict politics to Tux's thead.
Why can't the moderators just automatically move all the political posts to this threat?
That isn't really what I meant, I don't think i've made myself clear on this.
We had a lot of people discussing whether politics should / shouldn't be allowed at the MES in lots of different threads. Most of them turned into bitch-fests.
I wanted that discusssion to carry on in the thread you have mentioned.
But there is
no ban on legitiate discussions of political issues.
ie. War in Iraq, Domestic Taxes, Patriot Act, 3rd World Debt, Genocide in Armenia. Whatever floats your boat...
Although I think it's fair to say discussion of these issues is causing serious problems in these forums and it might be a good idea for certain people to keep their discussion of this stuff to a more relevant forum. Like:
politics.illhostit.com That is Laukevs Politics forum, a spin-off from erudition. There are good issues raised and some interesting posters.
