You can't even spell ban correctly.

Let's not lift the ban, because then this place will turn into gamefaqs. People think debating clones in Melee and whether it was rushed or not, just wait until you open up this can of worms.

... And GP can't spell place right. We're not ready for grownup discussions.

Lol how did I even acheive that typo? Ohw ell STILL MAKES SENSE! Political discussion is hidden under a frying pan.

hehehe maybe a better word would be "open the can" on political discussion lolol amirite?

Yeah, how about we don't do that. Political discussions bring out the worst in people, and in the end of it all people just agree to disagree which got you no place further than where you started.

Not to mention the fact that it can get personal REALLY fast. The thing with video game debates is that they rarely get personal and ends with the topic. Political/Religious discussions end with a lot of bad blood between people.

Maybe because some of us are trying to keep it in the spirit of the fun house? We've had other discussions as well that turned out nasty and got the thread closed.

Oh comon. The 'funhouse' responses are teh rudest.

Kairon · « **Reply #14 on:** October 18, 2007, 09:42:34 AM »

Yeah, keep the politics in the funhouse. I don't think it needs to go into other areas of the site.

Official Ruling: All politic threads no go in Handheld discussion.

Well, I guess it's a good thing we still have the ban. I try a simple poll just to see who people are voting for and before the day is up, GP is spewing crap from her mouth about Nazi's and the Klan.

Political Bans for all.

The funny thing is that no one even bothered paying attention to that statement until you quoted it and made it an issue. But I am willing to bet you knew what would happen, heck it was starting to unravel long before I posted.

How about a secret, members only political forum?

I'm tired of people bringing up political talk, then the topic getting locked down before someone gets to make their point.

Better yet, how about making the funhouse members only (to view and post) but "no rules" (outside of common courtsey and such)?
