Politcal Discussions (not a discussion of politics)
This is not a discussion of politics!
I would love to see a thread started where people can openly discuss their views of politics and not get offended when someone disagrees. I enjoy talking about politics, especially with people as smart/smarter than myself, and I enjoy having open ended discussions with people that are not of the same viewpoint as myself. These topics help me learn, they give me new viewpoints, and maybe even sometimes change the way I think about some things. However, some people can't have these types of conversations, they do get offended and hurt and become defensive even if no one is directly attacking their views.
However, I would personally love to see a thread started that does allow politics as a topic of discussion. We can keep religion out, we can keep anything else out, but I personally enjoy discussing politics and there are some pretty bright cookies here that I would enjoy discussing things with. Maybe we could have a thread or section of the forum that is an invite only for posters. If someone loses their cool or tries to become offensive/defensive they can be warned and if it continues they can have their posting privileges revoked for that topic/section.
Well, thanks for reading,
Spoon Man
