Interestingly some people think if you don't include a link with your post it doesn't belong in politics.
Just imagine a politics board where no linking was allowed. If you wanted to bring in an outside source you had to type out the important parts yourself, where a posters opinion is what we talked about instead of some reporters.

It would be like trying to have a conversation on the finer points of evolution with a creationist. There is no middle ground.

It stands on it's "own two feet", or it doesn't. Every post on every thread is it's own "display window".
