Politics Board - Keep It or Delete It?
Mikekoz13:
I have to agree with JDOG on this one. I say leave it...... you don't have to join in on any discussion on that board. Even if you do join in, you can end your participation at any time.
andrew:
I would love to have that board back, as I love to talk politics. I talk politics all the time and haven't gotten into any fights over it, because I respect everyone's opinion and love to hear the counter-points from the other side. That's because I've not sold myself to any particular party (although I lean in 1 direction) and can be persuaded to jump to a different candidate.

It should stay because it's a place to demonstrate something to ourselves, that whatever our political "leanings" we share one thing, shaved heads and an interest in all things related to them. Taking that you have a shared interest in an important part of your life w/ another should provide everyone taking part in the political board w/ an "automatic" respect for the person that is going to read your "rant" and "reply." That respect should result in an understanding that although our individual views on a particular political issue are at odds, it's the concepts that are at odds and not the guys expressing them because of their other shared interests. Thus it should be that in preparing a "rant" the tone will be thoughtful based on fact and logically stated, and the same for the responding "reply." If the people using the board adher to the fact of their shared interest as a constant shining reminder that the guys on the other side have shared views on other subjects the result should be that each can learn about the other's position--it's very doubtful anyone will change. It has the potential to raise the character of the debate and provide a place to learn about others. I personally would look forward to our non- U.S.A.citizen's comments for even more added information.
TheSlyBear:
My vote goes against. I've seen political discussions take a good board down too many times.

I haven't been on many political discussion boards, but I can see how bootedbear's observations would happen here.
