why do political topics constantly become locked??!!!

[SilverBolt]

I don't think making a political sub forum is such a good idea this is a game board not a political arena.

All topics in the past either about politics or about bush or michael moore got closed because it's basicly the USA members vs the rest of the worlds members and it only ends up in flame wars and anger/hate which is no good.

I like this forum due to the relaxed atmosphere and political topics only ruine it imho..

I agree.

I too enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, and I don't want that ruined. As we saw in a recent thread, things got out of hand when one of the members shared some political humor with us, and the thread had to be locked. Also, being one of the US members, I hate having to go up against the rest of the board, especially since I hate political discussion, but I will not back down when my HOME country is being bashed by people that do NOT even live here, a great point brougt up by GSL.

I am totally against having a political section added. Honestly, I think that it will just cause hatred to spread throughout the entire forum.

Couldn't have said that better myself including GSL's note :smt023

I couldn't possibly see why political threads would pose any threat to harmless posting. (Now say that with extreme sarcasm and think hard)

Wow, I think you hold the record for biggest bump in history.

We havent had a bad political topic in a pretty good while.

political discussion is not allowed. Why? Because this is a fucking video games message board.
