Re: What has Obama done well?

I think this thread illustrates that it's very rare that any political issues can be discussed in a rational, calm, and thoughtful manner around here. I guess it's just a reflection of society in general. Anyone think we should just go back to our old policy of no politics allowed?

I would be ALL for that.

Careful though, Matty. Shutting down political threads may aggravate some people. You wouldn't want to be a poopy head.

At least until the 2012 election is in full swing, and it should be its own forum so people who want to avoid it can avoid it. Let's face it, it's very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very rare that anybody on these political threads ever says "I was wrong" or "I hadn't thought about it that way" or "You (someone with an opposing view) bring up a good point."

You'll see most people admitting mistakes, misconceptions, changes of opinion in the locker room but almost never in these threads. And it just really renders the point of a message board moot. Not to single dblanch out, but what the heck, his response to SS33's post with links refuting his assertion pretty much epitomizes all that is wrong with these threads.

The shame of it all is that there a handful of people here who (while they generally don't waver at all) can engage in pretty intelligent political discussion. There are too many people here though who can't.

I have one other idea which I'll PM to you.
