    May as well do not debate it

    The forum rules said:
    5b) NO POLITICAL DEBATE / DISCUSSION IN THE MAIN FORUM AREAS PLEASE
    Discussing a policy is just current affairs, nothing more - discussing how and why a party introduced that policy is the political bit.

    You just need to distinguish between them. If you can't leave the political aspect out of it, then maybe you shouldn't be commenting on it.

    Back to the pension example, you can discuss a whole lot more than yes or no. Things like an ageing population, people living longer, etc can all be discussed without politics coming anywhere near it..
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Thank you, I was start thinking that I was going bongos!
    For that reason I put the rule and the link in my post.
    For the replies that I have seems to me that many posters are going to walk in the "edge of the knife" regarding what it is and what it is not politics

    Just flicking back through this thread, it's instructive that it's considered OK to suggest that Norrie should be raped in prison, or that TV people are undercover child molesters, but NOT OK to talk about politics.

    Weird, huh?

    Spare a thought for Inc and the moderators team, which option they have left, get ride of the General Chat forum?
    Believe me, been a moderator or admin it is not easy

    I'm not having a crack at the mods or Inc - it's a tough gig and I'm not cut out for that sort of thing. I just think it's interesting what we do and don't find acceptable, as a group. Some of this stuff in this thread I would categorise as borderline hate speech, but others think it's ok. Some of the things I bang on about are acceptable to me but offensive to others. My point is that politics is where the line is drawn, and I find that both weird and instructive.
