Question Politics Section / Yea or Nay?

How about it guys? Would you like to see the politics section return?

Myself, I'd like to see it come back if for no other reason than the fact that xd talk sorta becomes "one stop shopping" for me. I can talk about guns, ammo, plus politics (if I'm in the mood) all on one site.

I really miss the political perspectives from members in different parts of the country.
And since politics affects every round that chambers, politics in a gun forum is extremely relevant.

So many times I just wanted to say:

Go to a f'ing politics website for your drama fix and stop wasting Kermee's bandwidth.

That is all.

I agree with you there, but with one major change.....let the threads be of useful info worth discussing. It was starting to be like one of the talking head shows......

I'd like to see it return as its kind of spilling on over to other areas. I'd rather contain it to one area.

i am not a fan of the "politics section"; however, not putting one on this site wont make the members stop talking about politics. eventually we will have a bunch of random fights/arguments/instigations (about politics) starting up in other parts of the forums.

Ultimately, I don't care either way. That may sound funny because I used to post a lot in the political section but if I need to have a political discussion fix there are boards all over the internet devoted to that purpose.

I don't think a political section helps or hurts XDTalk. My 2c's. [/apathy]

While I do talk politics, I do that elsewhere. I don't really mind if a political section gets put up, but I'm sure I won't frequent it (well, I doubt it, anyway).

I miss the opportunity to pull Tom's chain.... And I'm worried about how he will get along without the sandbox.

Tom
DITTO!!!!

Politics don't belong on a gunsite?????? Okay, start handing them in fellas!

Come on, politics as disgusting and interesting as it is, is what keeps our guns or looses our guns.

Well, maybe it should be left out. It only shows the anti gun people why 70 million gun owners can't get together and make a sweeping change in our society...........
