IMO, it is what you make it. It is a place to share "what you know", and how you come to "know" it. "What you know", should be what shapes your politcal opinions.

How can that process influence you to post words like "quarantine"? Why is there so much discussion about discussing political opinions. Post them, justify them, defend challenges to them. If you cannot successfully defend your opinions, concede to the stronger (better supported) opposing argument. Or should something else be happening at the politics forum?

It was joke. You know...funny? Why does everything have to be so serious? All of time? If Ustwo, who is a major contributor to the politics board, can poke a little fun at himself...can't you come up to fence and share in bit of a chuckle?

My opinions are my own. They have been formed through 45 years of walking this planet, and seeing the things that I have seen. My opinions are not formed, nor are they swayed, by reading what some pundit has posted in a blog. I simly do not care. And just because I, or anyone else for that matter, may not find the time to dig up a dozen or so opinions that mirror our own, does not in any way mean that the argument should be conceded. All that means is that you probably have more time to research. Having more time does not necessarily make you right. You may be right. You may be wrong. You may only be expressing your own point of view. But posting a dozen supporting articles does not make you right or wrong.
