Practical question: Is God, Budda, Allah, and Monkey King allowed here?

Would you please explain your definition of "politics"? Are current events "politics" such as discussing the law (IMO unconstitutional in itself) mandating Sep. 17 as "Constitutional Day and Citizenship Day"? Do you consider discussing the ramifications of such things as the coming (2010) "Security and Prosperity Partnership" between Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. as "Politics"? What about such items as the effects on the taxpayers and thus the economy of Federal bail-out of the several disasters on the citizens from the hurricanes?

If so then how and to what degree can individuals really get to know fellow member's "....interest and opinions outside of our hobby"?

Those items you listed would fall under my definition of "politics".... but that's just me.

You will get to know other members to a degree slightly less than if you discussed politics and religion. Surely you can get to know members' interests and opinions outside the hobby by asking questions that are not political or religious in nature.

For instance:

Ford v.s. Chevy

Cabernet v.s. Chardonney

Stros v.s. Sox

Fish or steak.

I'm sure you get the idea.

Actually, my question was directed to the RCU admin. section.

I'm sure you get the idea.

The idea I get is there are not many really-important topics in some people's lives.

I have a difficult time conversing on the Six-Pack and Ball-Game level because I find almost zero interest in those areas.

So many find the same level of interest in my preferences. Oh well, it's their ball-game. Guess they get to pick the sand-lot.

Figures Hossfly would find a way to complain.
Hossfly is EXACTLY the reason why "no polictics!"
Great, then! If you find everything aside from politics boring, SWELL! You won't be hanging around here! Seeya!

things dont have to be about politics to be interesting. I think that lots of things can be interesting. my reason for this is partly because I think that if you think about anything for long enough it can seem funny. I mean, take potatoes for instance. not very interesting... right? but I've seen some very funny posts about them that reffer to them being launched from potato guns and stuff. and if that ever has anything to do with politics, that could be a problem... lol!

reminds me of the mass dumping of potatoes into the sea. That was in the 70's?

There is a specific AMA forum, and HC is most definitely still stirring it up over there!

Whatever happened to Kevin Kline, anyway?

Can the mods post a list of forbidden words, so we'll know?

How about a hotties pic thread, girl of the day, that sort of thing? This forum has real possibilities!
