    Let me check and see what Fox News says we should do. BRB

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

    Sorry, was flipping over there and saw an infomercial for the Schticky. You know, with Vince, the Sham Wow Guy. I can't turn it off. This thing will stick to ANYTHING!

    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?!

    While I agree with you, I hate to say it, you should have seen these responses coming :laugh:

    BTW as its been said, its already against the rules to talk politics on the board.

    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.

    No one is making you post or read a political thread. You have to physically go and click on it. Some people enjoy discussing politics or even getting in political debates, if you don't that is fine, don't engage in it then.

    Threads like this just give me a reality check regarding the diversity of people in general. Since I am generally one of those people who think that my opinion is the RIGHT opinion, this type of thing comes in handy to set me straight. :laugh: Can't we all just get along??:flowerforyou:

    the thing is admins always lock threads that are on the subject of poltics. if they are reported it gets locked. some will post another topic on it violate the rules. I agree though this is about weight/eating journey not politiical propanganda

    There is one, its called Debatable Debating or something like that. You have to search the groups for one of those two words. I was in that group under my old account but chose to leave and start a new account because I was not losing any weight and I was focusing on all the wrong things. :laugh: I can't do two things at once.

    Ah yes, gifted. That and the ones with kids that look like they might be the missing link and yet the parents ask if anyone knows of a good modeling agency for the sproglet and all of a sudden crickers and tumbleweed from their perfect visioned friends!!
