However, I DO get very annoyed at constant threads of a similar nature popping up every day about the same thing. Just as if someone were to post random youtube videos and making new threads about each one. Hence the one giant youtube vid thread.
All I'm suggesting is that is it really that hard to come up with ONE thread and put all your ideads in that and if it gets bumped it gets bumped, if you find a new issue in the news politically throw it in there? Is that so hard?
Also I never said he was wrong, I just disagree with his constant posting of threads when if anyone else did the same thing with a different topic they'd get bitched out like crazy (not that he doesn't get bitched at) but you get what I'm saying?
I think he's just trying to grab attention to things he's annoyed at by posting individual threads every single time, but that's just me.
Also I'm not saying purging the forum with ridiculous threads. Keep the jersey shore thread, the iphone thread the other stupid threads there, as long as they're in one huge one it doesn't bother me. What annoys me are 40 million threads about the same topic...
I'd say the only kinds of threads that should be abundant are review threads b/c well we are the kind of site and community that goes to parties/likes a certain kind of music , each party should be different, hence a different thread. |
Yes, but a city councillor acting like a buffoon in city hall and shouting down a citizen is an entirely different issue from a politician moving to ban something, which is an entirely different issue from a politician trying to provide socialized services we can´t afford for the masses, which is an entirely different issue from a politician cutting services to balance a budget. And all of these issues are important. I don´t believe, for instance, that someone like the woman in this video deserves to be re-elected, if for no other reason than she would rather shout down a citizen than discuss the issue. Politicians write the rules and handle our tax-dollars. Which is a little more important to our everyday lives than the cool youtube video you found last night, or the cool feature they added to the newest iPhone.
The thing all those mega-threads you´re asking for share in common is that they are often completely ignored, and also completely unimportant. Except for the rare occurance where someone finds a new video to add, that is subsequently ignored, they spend their days 4 pages deep on the list waiting for their next bump.
Jay´s threads are often about frivolous items, but they DO, almost as often, spark a lot of discussion about the issues that he´s raising. I, for one, believe that each significant issue should have it´s own headline, if for no other reason than to draw attention to a potentially important issue that would otherwise be lost in one big "JayX1´s Political Griping" thread.
