Replying to Political Forum?
Ok, I think its time for a politics forum on NS. No, not a cult, cults are dead and no one really visits those anymore except for a select few.
For some reason, somebody keeps deleting all of the "controversial" threads, even if they get long. Often yes, these threads turn out to be very long and often alot of arguing, but isn't that the point of having a forum? It gets boring when threads die all the time after like two pages.
People on this website want to get involved in Politics etc and many of them need to get informed, you know there is more to the world than skiing.
For example, I posted a video of Ron Paul on Glenn Beck last night talking about the current economic crisis and it was deleted in about 30 seconds while threads about some fucking stupid 12 year old bullshit remain. This thread was not pusing any agenda and I felt that NS needed to see it. Ron Paul is not running for president anymore, BUT he knows a fuckload about the economy and why things happen the way they do. People are realizing he is a genius on the economy and starting to listen to him.
Are you trying to make this site for 13 year olds now? Yes, thats the thing with politics, not everyone agrees, but it seems that if one of the mods disagrees, the thread gets instantly deleted (hrmm maybe J.D. May doing this?) while if an obama thread was posted, it would be allowed to remain for ever probably since JD seems to support Obama even though he is not from the USA.
Im not trying to sound pissed off, but Im actually trying to make this site better. I think its definately worth trying for a while, yea if it turns out bad, you can always get rid of it, but I think it would work well and add something new to the site.
Thanks for reading
