Like I said before in a different thread…

“Let it go. It's chit-chat. If we can talk about unimportant stuff like Foreign Music, iPods, Facebook.com, modding XBOX cases, The Sims, and all sorts of other threads in Chit-Chat, then we should be able to talk politics without people telling us “this isn’t the place to be talking about it.” Politics actually has an impact on our lives and how we’re going to be living for the rest of our lives.”

I can think of many other reasons why politically oriented conversations should be allowed on these forums, but since I haven’t seen a legitimate argument against it, I’ll refrain from sharing them for now.

I also feel that anyone who starts a thread asking for peoples’ opinions on completely subjective matters should post their own, too. So keeping with that belief, how do you feel about this SilverStar?

You hit it right on, Bill. (How often do we ever agree on something?? ) Politics is embedded into just about every aspect of our lives. I think it will make us all better people for expressing our ideas and thoughts and hear those of others. Hey, perhaps we can learn something from each other and become better and more complete as human beings. But there is a certain extent to which we can have political discussions because no matter what kind of disclaimer somebody puts, they are representing their team, FIRST, Pontiac Central HS, Delphi and all other sponsors or associations with FIRST.

Game on
