What if Political Threads No Longer Appeared on the "New Threads" List?

[Twilight Hue]

Is that a good idea? Why or why not?

Its an excellent idea. It would give a fair number of people some badly needed relief for people whom desire to engage in alternate topics that are continually being pushed out by political threads after political threads.

Relief? Topics "pushed out."

Poor opressed 'victims'.

Some religious topics are a bit more difficult to talk about than even politics and are pretty personal.

For example, suppose I adopt a faith that covers a left-hand path understanding / worship of Shiva. I do feel I'll get less support and contributions than if I even chose some obscure political subject such as Susan Collins and how donaters see her.

But I'm talking hypothetically. I don't know that for absolutely sure.

Like sticking one's head in the sand or drinking.

Exactly.

LOL, better be careful there, SomeRandomji with your offers! If it doesn't go well for the American public, so many may leave the country, the land mass itself will tilt.

Hey man, the more the merrier I say

Much as I like the political end of conversation and debating, I have a feeling others are getting a tad tired of seeing it all the time.

If they were, the threads would peter out on their own.

But how will people all over the US know how to vote if I don't tell 'em here?

Consider what happened a blessing. It's been 13 years since I had a Freudian slip on the internet, and it was an epic one that almost became a meme (not quite). I miss it.

I've voted twice.

I wonder if we could somehow make politics 'opt-in', if anyone would like that.

^^THIS^^

I don't agree with removing political threads from the new threads box. While I rarely participate in the political forums, there are those here that exclusively participate in political threads, and such an action has the potential of alienating them, thus impacting forum revenue...

...and I can't afford to take a pay cut. ​

Voter fraud! The Republicans were right!

Down with democracy! They've commited treason! Cut the bridge people cross to the post office!

? You saying non political intetests are not adult?

Not safe for children?

I do not understand you on this

The problem is that religion has become politicized. And trying to ignoring this by trying to ban political debate isn't going to make it go away. It's like trying to push the river back up the hill.

It's an expression often used humorously to refer to pornographic or violent magazines, films, &c, or places selling them, which children should not see or are barred from access.

Politics changes every decade; religion is constant. I find religion a much healthier focus.

Meh religion changes all the time and tries to portray itself as constant
