You want to see some of the closest people on here become enemies? Just add politics to the mix.

JImmy Buffett good. Politics ....BAD!

...Future winners of BN Feud VII

Agreed and I'd feel the same way about a "religious" forum. The internet and some topics just don't mix well.

How is the poll 75/24?

Not opinion wise, but mathmatically?

Don't get me wrong. I think my religion and certain topics in politics are "much" more important than chats about football, Buffett, beer, etc. But this forum is about letting loose and having fun...to do that we need to get along. Buffett life is about takin' it easy and trying to avoid pointless conflict when possible. If we start arguing about "really" sensitive subjects it can get ugly.

Then those that want to have those chats can go to a site that is dedicated to political talk or religious talk or any other talk. Personally, I come here to, just like with Jimmy's music, to escape the horrors of the real world.

Since the ovewhelming majority has voted "no" and since it was already decided before this poll that we weren't going to have a new forum for political discussion, I'm saying it's officially "'nuff said" time.

BuffettNews.com

A brand new forum

Do you think there should be a forum for political "discussion" (and I use that term loosely)
