Rather than a robust debating forum, I see the new area as an expression and exchange of views. Mature people can hold differing views and respect both the holder and view. To date, I've seen nothing to warrant an infraction, in the new (CA) section. It's all jolly polite old chap.
And that includes after having several cups of strong coffee, during and after the happy hour :)Quote:

And that should be the litmus test. That is just my opinion. BobQuote:

Anyway, I hope that the members most interested get some good commentary into the current affairs section, it's been a bit slow to start with.:p
Unbelievable....this thread is hotter than the new section by all accounts. :)
Yes it's amazing. I see there is a thread about Seinfield in Parliament. I can't stand Seinfeild. Do I go in to the thread and whinge about him. No. I understand that others do not share my opinion of Seinfield. Good luck to them. Why can't people let others have an opinion and accept that their opinion or other peoples opinions are not necessarily right or the best? Get over it people and move on. It's not that hard to do . Really. :)Quote:
