as to why another section should not be made under "Daily Chat" called "Politics"?

There is one for jokes, why not one for political / religious talk?

Even after the election the political talk is not going to stop. Listening to both sides reveals the core problem, to me that is. There is this misconception of "winning" and somehow there is "the right way".

As long as people have different backgrounds there will be different takes on which politics are best. Does anyone here think that people who make a million dollars a year would have any thing politically in commen with somone who makes 20,000 a year? Or someone who had an abortion and someone who belongs to some strict religious group would have anything in common?

This is CLUSTER HEADACHES.com. That should be the main issue at hand IMO. The other stuff is great to get to know people but I've seen many people come here only to leave because of eveything non-CH related.

I belong to many message boards. Some simply do NOT allow any topic other than what the board is about. Some place bans on religion and politics, adn some have seperate spaces for those types of discussions.

I would like to see a seperate room for political / religious discussions. That way if someone wants to bang heads, feel free in that area. If someone goes into that area and starts to whine about it, then it can be said "too bad, don't go there".

I know some may think this is over-accomodating those that "cannot hack it" or whatever you want to call it. I call it "not throwing out the baby with the bathwater". What can I say, I am a whiney-pinko-commie-girl thingy-liberal. 

Okay I must lodge an official protest with DJ AGAINST  Fubar. How come Superhawk gets the commie label, yet I get the fu%$ing commie label for saying the same thing??? Fairness is clearly called for here.

Guiseppi    the fu%$ing commie!!!!

I duuno Joe. I don't think there is enough commie to go around. Ironically it is a very limited, exclusive group.

Tell you what - I'll be pinko-commie and you can fu%$ing commie. How's that?

Charlie is on his own..........

:D

Charlie is charlie

fubar is, well, look up fubar and you'll understand

General Board vs Specific Boards
Are there many other boards?
No.
OK, leave it.


So we should not try to improve? Sure, it could be left alone.....


Asprin vs Imitrex
Are there many others for whom asprin does not cure a headache?
No.
OK, leave it?

I would like a section specifically for pics of hot guys.

I think we should have a section for hooters.

And no, George, not that kind of hooter.

One good reason?

DJ owns the place, and he can set it up any way he wants to.  'Course, he may welcome thoughts and suggestions. 

Deej is the go-to guy.  We just infest the place.   

Best,

George

I wonder what the super charged tsunami was that hit this place in the past to get the "Jokes" section opened up.

I too like the refrain DJ has for the delete key. Which is why another place for people to argue would be nice.

It is not that simple. Sure if I was only reading new threads it would be that simple. The idea is for people who do not want to be bothered by political RESPONSES. It is not that I am so dumb I cannot spot a political thread until I am 4 posts into an argument.........

Here is a real life example. I am posting to a member about medications. Someone interups the post with a comment about a entirely different politically charged topic, posting it to me. My thread, one that I am engaged in, now becomes political in nature.

Sure I could turn the cheek for the 1000th time and ignore the comments, but then others chime in and before I know it MY non-political thread is now political. Again I could ignore it as best I can, but that prevents my original thread from getting its information across. Or I  could be a dick and get rude. Is that what we want here?

It would be nice to tell someone "Take your political BS to the political BS thread" when ambushed by someone.

It is a simple tool. It would save many fights here. I would take next to no work. And you wouldn't have to go there either. And it wouldn't start the dreaded "Domino Effect" unless DJ just got willy nilly. Doesn't seem he would to me.

Because this forum is "open" and very rarely strickly moderated, if there are things on here political or religious that you don't agree with or like, DON'T READ IT!  

It has been brought up in the past, discussed, and inevitably stuff like that belongs in the general board area.  Politics and religious topics are for the strong at heart, if you dare open that can of worms, be our guest.  BUT, if you can't handle others' opinions, you shouldn't be having those discussions.  

It's hard enough to keep up with everything else on here, one more thing just might make us cross over to "the bad side!"  LOL  

Hope you all understand!

If yer thread gets hijacked, then either stay with your original post, go with it, or start another thread. It happens, but I think if you are talking on the CH specific boards, people who would benefit from the info you post can and do read past the hijack.

And besides, the political overflow will end soon, the elections are this week. Otherwise, just don't read it. It's yer choice.

Yup, Steph, I totally understand...and that's one of the reasons I love this place so much. You can say whatever you want (even the geewilly's of the world) and I can choose to ignore it...class will out, or you're out...

Best,
