Political Posts

[GRB]

Good lord...seperation of church and state - not in the constitution...unbridled capitalism??? That's like saying unbridled freedom and liberty.<--this is a scary thought. And generational welfare? Shut off freedom of speech?? Yes, let's not discuss politiks. Close this one. Close 'em all.

These discussions were posted in the Lounge area and these discussions would make people think about what's going on in the World today and Yes it does get heated every now and then and we are all Adults here and "Should" be able to sort it out ....But....The real world isn't like watching "The Brady Bunch" on TV every day........So...it's Tom's deal so I'll respect his decision

If you let politics tear us apart, you're missing the jist.

About a year ago, I believe Charlie wanted to stop the political
posts in the lounge section and several members ( me included )
requested that he not do so. It is the "lounge" after all and
not for muscle car related topics. I prefer this site over
all other car forums because of the diverse backgrounds and
opinions expressed here. That's what makes it a winner in
my book. The lounge section is one of my favorite haunts.

Personally, I'm sorry to see the political discussions stop.
If you can't take the heat, don't go in the kitchen. Or more
appropriately, don't chime in. It's OK ! We'll survive.

But, if members are getting up in arms, then so be it.
I don't want to be the only one left standing
without a chair when the music stops.

Nuch, since I bring my own chair to the dance, so to speak, I have to tell you that your avatar sucks. A liitle box with an "X"? What's up with that?
If we can't beat each other up over politics, than what's next? Religion? Sex , drugs and Rock and Roll?
I think I need an asprin.

Poor conduct on the board should be delt with on a case by case basis. Banning an entire topic as important as "politics" is short sighted and I think it should be revisited.

These people that we elect (good or bad) make legislation that impact our hobby. Political views need to be discussed openly.

IMO..If someone gets out of line - fix the individual's conduct and enforce the existing board rules of conduct.

I agree that this site is the best one on the 'net, bar none. But, I respect Tom Clary's wish to tone-down the rhetoric regarding some of the recent heated, yet in my opinion, respectful discussions. I love a good go-around with my friend kwhizz but I realize that some of what's said can make some people squeamish or just turned-off. Okay, that's cool. It's not my site, it's Tom's and if he wants us to refrain from the political stuff then I have to respect that. Maybe it's a good time to remember the old rule that you should never discuss religion or politics in polite company.

It's too bad though. The '08 election is coming up and it's going to be really hard not to throw some grenades back and forth with Ken (or Howie) here on the forum! It just ain't the same on e-mail.

Hey just pick up the phone and call Mr Howie. I talk to him about once a week at least. Shoot some times we even agree. If ya call him, ask him when he's gonna get that car done so we can take it to Eddyville, and flog it.
