we are considering a private politics board

[Jeremy]

If you want TBT to have one, we need you guys to prove that you are actually talking about politics.

So this is what you do: PM me a political stance on something (or why you support a candidate for president or congress).

If there are enough messages that are about political issues and where people can take a real stance, we will consider the board and we will go from there.

We had one a long time ago, but there weren't enough people who could handle it... prove to us that that's not the case anymore. This said... you go anywhere on the internet, most people just cannot do it in a realistic and mature way. There are a lot who can though, so let's see if there are enough at this point to actually have a board...

I had to write an essay for school about my favorite president ever. (last week) Can I just send you that?

I don't see why not. As long as you didn't say he was your favorite because he had a cool beard that is.

Ya

(and prop man is right)

 

[Jman]

Kay, I sent it. My choice was JFK by the way :lol:

 

[Jeremy]

ok, ill be away for the next 2 hrs so dont freak out if i dont respond

 

[Propaganda Man]

Kay, I sent it. My choice was JFK by the way :lol:

For me, it would be between George Washington and Theodore Roosevelt.

 

[Justin]

Clearly, it should be announced if Prop. Man fails it. It would be the best joke ever.

 

[Mino]

My stance is that political factions are harmful to America.

Am I in?

 

[Jeremy]

PM it to me. And it can't just be a statement. I that to have an explanation.

Also... if this happens, the things sent in may be used to determine who will be invited.

 

[Sizzler_Puddle]

Will it be a forum that you'll have to get permission to post in?

 

[Mino]

I think certain members with seniority should not need to prove that they have the eloquence and intelligence to participate in productive political debate.

ya

that's why it's "private"

Mm..

Im not sending anything in because:
a.) It will have 0 purpose
b.) Im stuck using the Wii browser (unless I get a USB keyboard)
c.) We shouldnt have a mature level issue at all for this matter. Now if you could learn from my teachers, you could learn to be strict

I think certain members with seniority should not need to prove that they have the eloquence and intelligence to participate in productive political debate.

I agree with that and the simple fact that the administration knows which members are productive and can carry an intellectual debate.

I believe that Bul and Storm could decide who deserves a free right of passage. The ones who they aren't sure about should have to send a political stance.

 

[Sizzler_Puddle]

I had better get a political stance then.

Er...I'm Statist.

1) That's somewhat rankist.
2) If the veteran members are serious about it, they will send one in. If they feel uncomfortable... or anything for whatever reason, then they wouldn't fit in the board in the first place.

This PMing is to see if people are aware of political issues and will be able to discuss them. Maturity is a factor, but not in sending a PM about an issue.

So if we are aware of and can discuss political issues, we should be able to get in?

"Rankist?" Oh, please. Don't use such terms, I consider that on par with the word "noob" and "spam." Isn't it about time we abandoned the typical vocabulary of the average message board? I remember cringing whenever I would read that on NSider. Seriously, some people....

And I didn't say anything about rank. I've been here since early 2005. If you haven't figured out I'm a liberal Republican by now, you never will.

I'd just like to make an announcement. I agree with Mino. That is all.
