Politics low content thread
 

Hey all,

Dont know if this was brought up at all while I was deployment earlier this year, but I thought I'd poll the forum and see what you think about having a monthly off topic thread similar to many of the other forums. I'm pretty sure I was against this when Iron brought up when I was a mod and I was against it, but for the life of me I cant remember why. Anyhow, I sent iron a PM but he hasnt answered so I'll just take matters into my own hands. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Vote now! (anarchists too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

Re: Do you want a Politics monthly off-topic thread?
 

I've read that my vote won't matter. So I have opted not to waste my time in voting in this poll.

Re: Do you want a Politics monthly off-topic thread?
 

Don't we have it already? It's just called the Ron Paul video thread.

Re: Do you want a Politics monthly off-topic thread?
 

What would an off topic thread be good for? Aren't the other sub-forums sufficient to cover just about everything? I think that maybe you meant a low-content thread which would be a good idea so I voted yes.

Re: Do you want a Politics monthly off-topic thread?
 

I don't see the point, but I also wouldn't mind if there was one. So I voted yes.

Re: Do you want a Politics monthly off-topic thread?
 

Well, it would be nice to have a cool place to post your ridiculous rants and such, as well as post pix. I like it.

Re: Do you want a Politics monthly off-topic thread?
 

I voted "yes" because there would finally be a thread that might not mention Ron Paul. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Ron Paul doesn't invade threads. Threads convert to Ron Paul.

Re: Do you want a Politics monthly off-topic thread?
 

I voted yes, just because I want another thread to talk about RP in. heeeheeee!

Re: Do you want a Politics monthly off-topic thread?
 

I vote yes, because an off-topic thread will allow me to continue to spread my lies about Ron Paul.

I heard he is actually a Sith lord?

DOCTOR Ron Paul could fix that.

Re: Do you want a Politics monthly off-topic thread?
 

Iron,

The people have spoken!

Re: Do you want a Politics monthly off-topic thread?
 

Don't we have one of these a month in ATF? I mean it generally devolves into how [censored] a mod Jman was but still.

Re: Politics low content thread
 

Well, I've always been a fan of democracy.

Re: Politics low content thread
 

YTMND!!!

But why the edit of the post title? The people have voted for OFF TOPIC. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Politics low content thread
 

Self pwned, IMO, LOL. I guess this is "the thread". Im jealous of Elwood's pics in the Trent Lott thread, so I'll post some later. Can't link photobucket from work, it got the ban hammer from the Navy.

A new addition to the adios household from among these. Going to France sometime near the end of the year to get it.

Re: Politics low content thread
 

The lighter side of Ron Paul?

Re: Politics low content thread
 

Here's some low content Ron Paul stuff....

Dennis Kucinich recently stated that he was currently considering Ron Paul as a potential running-mate (obviously if it should come to that). Paul hasn't said anything about it, that I know of, but someone from his campaign (can't remember who) quickly shot down the idea. Thoughts?

Re: Politics low content thread
 

adios-
That was awfully nice of you to adopt Brit Hume.

Here is our recent addition:

I think I'm being leveled here. But since you arent the first person to ask, I'll bite. Its basically for those of us who spend a lot of time (relatively) reading and posting in this forum and arent interested in many of the other forums. Its a chance to just talk about whatever strikes your fancy with the people who you generally interact with here. And it has to be said, if you dont like it or dont see the point, dont read it.

Re: Politics low content thread
 

A rant:

A few weeks ago, my shift Sgt told our entire shift that the YDC down the street was undermanned and that the latest round of recruits were almost out of the Academy, and we someone from every shift will have to fill in down there for a three day shift.

Long story short, I draw the short straw and get stuck down the street at the Juvie.

During my three days, I saw the following infractions:

- Inmate's bunk "rolled" with toilet paper by another inmate.
- Multiple masturbations.
- Three seperate occasions of people smoking in the dorms.
- Six inmates breakdancing in the quad.
- 16 fights in 3 days.

I also was the reviewing officer for a female officer who wrote up two females for sexual misconduct. They both denied it.

And people wonder why I hate children.

Ageist IMO, ban pls.

My mom was a counselor at a JDC in Florida for a while. Really sad situation for a lot of those kids when you see what kind of [censored] up environment they come from.

Re: Politics low content thread
 

vulture,

There is a glaring fallacy implicit in the idea of a "low content" thread for the politics forum. Which of course is that it implies the majority of regular threads are "high content".

I knew someone was going to make this post. I'm suprised it took this long. And please witness exhibit A, wherein my poll was for an off-topic thread, not a low content thread. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Some low contentness:

Re: Politics low content thread
 

We already have low content threads. Certain posters start them all the time. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Personally, I don't give a [censored] if they masturbate or not, but it should be done discreetly. I actually noticed several others who looked like they could be, but it wasn't blatantly obvious, so I let it go.
