I personally think we shouldn't even have a political forum. there are just too many biased posts and nothing, except maybe rage, will result.
for example... I want to do nothing more than perform a roundhouse kick to Cyrus King's head after his "zionist shit" comment! and after him reading this post, he'll probably post something in retaliation. and this just takes the fun out of coming to this TA forum.
so, I vote to rid of this section. |
This forum requires some thick skin. It's quite easy to take things somewhat personally and misconstrue some of what others say as being racist. In the heat of the argument both sides tend to generalize without even realizing it.
Melech will always have his terrorist monkeys (with their palestinain supporter lacker monkeys) and Cyrus will have his nazi zionists, but neither is truly racist (as much as one can tell over the internet). A few instances of crossing the line, impassioned argument should not result in total bannage and nor should that constitute reason for getting rid of this forum. The whole partyprincess thread in teh chillout forum is just as, if not more so, mean spirited and inflammatory than most of what's in here. At any rate, this forum has accomplished about a 1000 times more in terms of educating than it has in spreading hate/racism.
So to sum things up, if you'd like to learn a thing or two with analysis from several viewpoints than stop by. If you're going to be easily offended/incited by the usual suspects than I'd advise you to stay out. Everybody who regularly frequents these forums wants it to remain in place.
