If POLITICAL threads were banned

[nero_bolt]

If POLITICAL threads were banned from CS what would you all talk about?

Cats, dogs, knitting, cooking,  the latest boring reality show? WHAT 

Would these boards revert to fluffy threads? Mind you the fluffy touchy feely threads can get rather agro as well.

So if the political threads get banned what would the mob then go after and say.. WE DONT LIKE threads about cats or dogs or cooking etc and we want to ban these threads as well..

Where would their banning stop

So what would these forums be like with no political threads...... all touchy feely and fluffy?

Maybe if the political threads **bleep**ed off we might end up with a greater diversity of posters rather than a handful who think they own the boards , with the diversity of posters will come a diversity of topics , I for nor would come more often if it for the constant dribble about which political part or politician is worse than the other , quite frankly I found a would be if they could be politician throwing around insults about how bad people they know nothing about are as boring as bat **bleep** , so I so bring it on

so maybe someone could explain why posters who dislike political threads don't/won't/can't start threads.

because Boris people can't keep thier politics out of them. 

Some people will politics into any thread and ruin it for others. 

I am all for a forum for politics.... I think that is a good idea. 

I use to love coming in here to have a chat on not only politics but lots of stuff. Now it seems that there are only political threads and as much as I like politics I can't stand the hate and negativity that some threads have. 

There use to be a time where you could have a great discussion and it does not feel that way anymore. The Budget thread is the only one recently that has a good discussion going.

I usually don't figuring they'd just slide down the page. And the pope hasn't been up to much lately. 🙂

And congrats to Nero for the shortest living thread ever....2 Posts!

Hello Jimmy, Yes this Pope is pretty awesome and I'm an atheist.
