    I'm with you Tony, It looks like we are shaping up for a spirited political season here in the US. I'd just as soon not get involved in any political debate on the message boards.

    So i see people posting political stuff on here, this is supposed to be about health and weight loss and fun and games, IMO lets leave the political stuff on Facebook, here we all have a shared goal of being healthy. I too am very political and if your on my facebook you know that, but lets leave it there.

    Haha, because you know Facebook is where all the intelligent debates are :P

    This is the internet. Everything is political.

    Not to mention politics DOES have an impact on health and wellness.Food regulation, corn and soy subsidies, nutritional recommendations... politics does transcend into the food we eat.

    Amen! I just had a vent session about this on Facebook the other day. Don't care about people's politics. We all have opinions and these types of sites are not the right forum for them. Makes me crazy!

    So avert your eyes and avoid those topics when looking for something to post to. Everybody's entitled to discuss what they like, that's the fun about this board! It's "miscellaneous" section of boards =D

    Here is a strange idea...

    if you see a post that alludes to something political... don't open it :)

    Who knew?

    But then the person standing behind him with the gun to his head will pull the trigger.

    As long as Fox agrees with Limbaugh, it's a go!

    Don't think we should vote on it. When did voting come into politics?

    We should create a think tank to discuss the possible impact of political topics in chit-chat, send out a public consultation, send a working party to other countries to see how their web-communities deal with similar issues, spend 2 years analysing the results and then choose whether we do or do not allow political topics based upon the largest bribe paid.

    The flaw with this plan is in two years, this thread will be buried by thousands of political and anti-political debate threads

    Edit: Damn the OP starting all these politics!! Doesnt he realize this site is for weightloss and politics should be left to the ever intelligent facebook?!
