Kathy, I think there's alot of non-chicken topics to be discussed on this board. Just like it's being discussed now. I think that a pg rated debate category would be okay, if given a little leeway. But for the whole, politics and religion seem to bring out the "snarling wolf" in people, LOL.
I still like reading threads going south. It's quite funny at times to see grownups spitting, biting, and pulling hair.
Seminole - PG rated discussions are what I'm meaning as well. Take the two recently locked threads for example......
One discussed how "The Pundits" had finally gotten around to figuring out what most of us knew along time ago.... that we're in a recession at best, and the beginning of a depression at worsl.
The other was discussing how People Here were FEELING about everything that's happening.
With both threads, some people were attempting to educate others on the mechanics of how these things work, while others were responding in various ways. I learned a few things along the way as well.
Both could be catalogued as Current Events, but neither intended to be political or religious, and for the most part, stayed away from both.
I PERSONALLY didn't read anything in either thread that I felt (My Own Opinion, and nothing more) warranted locking the thread, but obviously, someone felt that the discussions were no longer valid.
That's why I ask: for information - where / how do you all propose to draw the line between Current Events, and Politics?

My daddy taught me never to discuss politics, religion, or $e* in polite company, which this is. I try to follow that advice.
Thanks,
Kathy
