Re: Politics Forum Split

Even Iron, Poly's mod, has lamented the lack of "conventional political discussion" in the forum, and very often threads that start out being about current political issues (the debates, 2008 election, social security, etc) are derailed with theoretical discussion, making an attempt at discussing current events largely impossible.

I really don't see this at all. However if this is the case I've always voiced support behind sane anti-hijacking rules in the politics forum.

Are you kidding me shake?
How many threads about other issues are hijacked with Nielsio's "Are they're any jackbooted bearded people I can vote for" comments. And how many threads about current bills or house/senate debates get hit with "Well why don't we just scrap the whole thing".
I know the ACists love it, hell I enjoy those threads, but whenever anything current is brought up, it still falls right into "AC v. Statism" debates. Who knows how many posters we've lost because of that garbage, I should know, as I was one of them for a long while.
