Well, we could have brutal moderators that hand out bannage for posting political shit in this area, but this isn't CF, so we put up with Pisstater, Lars and other political types pissing on each other.... it's actually quite entertaining. :yesnod:

Don't have to ban people, just post in the right forum to begin with or move threads that are posted here that clearly belong there. What you find entertaining I find old..

people are just getting tired bashing blacks. It's like how many other PC ways can they say blacks ruined the country?

It is impossible to live up the "devil may care" atmosphere in the other forum. Bashing anybody may be seen as more fun over there. This OT section is much better HERE, and does seem to lend itself to all banter political or other wise.

THat's the other thing - VB doesn't seem to ban people just because they are assholes.

That's why most of us are still here.

Blacks, Democrats, liberals, etc...

Any post about something bad happening in society always has some guy chiming in blaming the decline of society on everyone except white Republican NRA members...

Its getting old.

Read through some of the thread's its the same digs over and over.

The funny thing is shit like this I find funny. That's why I frequent this forum.

I'd just rather not have to sift through all the PRC bullshit to find it. Sometimes you can tell by a thread title and you just don't click but half the time an unassuming thread gets jacked and turns into a Obama sucks thread or something similar.. You guys are beating a dead horse..

I don't believe or practice any type of religion but I don't continually bash you guys for what you choose to believe in.

"people are scared of what they don't understand"
"people are scared of what they don't know"
"people are scared of things that are different"
"people are scared of change"

blah blah blah blah blah

it goes on forever and ever.

I know this might come as a surprise do you but there's this nifty icon you can click to "report" a thread and give a reason.

Just a thought.

Why bother. As it was pointed out earlier the last thread in PRC was a year back. Obviously there has been a conscious decision by chef to leave things as they are. Its not my style to report threads and even if I did what good would it do?

HUH? There are tons of threads posted just this week in PRC. :skep:

"people are scared of what they don't understand"

Substitute "Conservatives" for "people" and you've got it.

Libertarianism FTW!

People use it. But not enough yet. You COULD help change that....

Maybe I can con Iron Chef into an expansion draft of some sort. Forced conscription of OT posters into PRC. OT can have, say, 10 protected posters.

That's right. Because conservatives aren't people.

Just move the PRC threads that show up in OT over to your playground and keep this sandbox clean.

That requires moderator effort. And folks are so petrified by the prospect of over-moderation that they are clear over to the other extreme. It's just like the early days of BCF.

that way the thread will at least get more than 10 views before it goes there :D

Perhaps the reason there isn't the rip-roaring Lincoln v Douglas repartee you guys seem to want is because most of us don't care about the endless "Obama is Satan" "No, he's the Chosen One" BS that every single thread in PRC devolves into.

We already know the positions for all the players, you guys are all talking past each other so nobody's mind is being changed - there's nothing new to be interested in. Joecoooool would sooner gnaw his arm off than consider a right wing concept, the same way Will would rather be staked to a fire ant bed than admit that Al Franken is a legitimate member of Congress.

IMHO - if the PRC crap is going to be in OT, then kill off the PRC section and be done with it. Otherwise, move stuff where it belongs.
