I'm not sure about threads on here as I avoid them, but in other cases I've seen, political threads, specifically ones where you can share your opinion, (read - most), can easily go past the point of discussing politics in an intellectual and open-minded manner, and turn into a s**t-storm, with people getting offended that someone else doesn't share their opinion.
We seem to be having a load of Politics threads on here, and while I cannot say that they don't belong in places like Brewster's Cafe, for example, as it's an open board where you can post freely, there have been a lot recently, and they're kinda clogging things up IMO. Maybe just one thread?
No, it's annoying that there's been a lot of threads that are pretty much duplicates of each other though, but in general no, politics are current and important, discussion of politics doesn't bother me.
No, actually. I think it can be interesting to read what people think. TBT might not be the best place to discuss politics but there are places way worse as well.
I'm sick of all the fights breaking out because of people feeling the need to go onto an AC forum to speak their opinion on politics. Yes, you can talk about it in Brewster's Cafe, but if you don't post anywhere else, you're probably just here for attention and starting fights.
