Why it's important to opt in to the politics and current affairs forum

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I am not sure why you all just don't PM me to find out what the right position to adopt is.

I like to read others' thoughts

Do you do this by telepathy?

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Because you is a dick?

Have you seen the nick of the rest of the sad daffodils on here?

Surely this should be in SCP

SCP has gone and this isn't about Politics or Current Affairs, so it shouldn't be there. It's a general thread about the forum so cafe seemed the closest fit.

You mean
"unionist b*stards"
"traitors"
"nobbers" ?

You see, we have been paying attention. Were there any others?

You forgot "Scum", "Cowardly Scum" etc

Other people's views whether you agree with them or not DO need to be respected.

Mine don't....

And did I get this right, this thread is supposed to encourage us to join the politics forum ?

I knew I was right

[QUOTE 4707087, member: 9609"]Although Ghettos somehow seem quite appropriate for extremists.

Why not advertise on other parts of CC for new meat participants - Supporters of The Donald, Democracy & Brexit all welcome for fun and games - lure them in, butter them up then ambush them.

Come to think of it,quite a few have ventured into there over the years never to be seen again , Yellow Tim, Smurfy, Dim, three entirely different individuals all who went in never to be seen again.[/QUOTE]
You now seem to be equating political consciousness with extremism. Which, not coincidentally, demonstrates my point.

It's all about choice and maybe some people need to think about what they are posting before they hit that button.

It's a good section to learn other points of view and things you never knew before.

Healthy discussion is good for the soul.

Well that should narrow it down a bit then.








Wot?

When there's a thread on beer drinking in the Peak District in SC&P I'm all in

It's all Margaret Thatcher's fault apparently.

I think it was primarily because the forum alt-Righters didn't like having their prejudices challenged and kept complaining to the moderators. I think some people also think that their views *have to* be respected.... they don't.

On the whole, I find the standard of discussion on 'Politics and Current Affairs' comparable or better than in some other parts of the forum. Some of the nastiest comments I've seen have been in the Cafe and the General Cycling Discussions threads.

Considering that you had posts removed on numerous occasions for unacceptable content and genital references I think that your post is a little disingenuous
