Default Should there be a Politics section?

The Political news stories clogging up serious debates is quite annoying now. And they're never debates anyway, it just ends up the same old members sniping at eachother and page after page of endless rambles. I think you should either make it just SD again or give them a Politics section.


Cheers

As long as it keeps them out of SD it wouldn't matter.

Well, to me politics is all about life,the people we elect to represent us, the people who make our laws and do things that affect most of what we strive for and do in life,
I can't think of much that is more serious to debate than that really.

I, because of my strong interest as to politics though wouldn't mind in the least a politics section.

I get what you mean but it just ends up the same old stuff rehashed, that's what I was on about.

Sadly,that is part of politics too, I agree with you though, I wouldn't mind one bit having a separate Politics section.

Alot of serious debates are politically motivated though

Why shouldn't political discussions be in SD?
And so what who debates them? If you don't like it start a thread or post on whatever you do like joe.
Why has it only started to bug you today? I wasn't aware there had been any political discussion..

What is?... You are not making a lot of sense joe, like joey said politics plays an important part of SD and there will always be conflicting opinions on it.
You ramble on about what you like and I will ramble on about what I like, then we will both be happy eh?

Yeah but it used to be better when it was SD. Maybe they should just make a News and Politics forum, would be much better.

One thing that absolutely should not be there, though, is News Stories merged with serious debates.

The two are completely unrelated topics and I don't see why they should be lumped together.

Either create more sub-forums or bin the whole thing altogether like. No political threads, that would be swell.

Although I don't really discuss my politics on here, I do think such discussions are apt for "serious debates"

So no, I don't think we need a politics section.

Can you give me an example of something that we could have a serious debate about that has nothing to do with a news topic or a political issue?

As far as you want, it wasn't always that. Also don't you agree that most of the 'debates' end up in sniping sessions with the same few members?
