Politics are part of the thread already maybe not every topic in politics but it government is brought up here quite a bit. After all it is politics and government that are stating who can have chickens and who can't in many cases. In some cases it is a homeowners group that governs the neighborhood.
And as long as it is family friendly I don't see the harm. After all this is a very diverse group. We have chicken pet owners, those who use their chickens as a part of being homesteaders, chicken breeders, owners wanting only eggs but not pet chickens, owners wanting eggs and meat but still not a large flock,...
And I have even seen a few posts in the thread stating positive info towards birds of prey. I am to the point of having a very very strong dislike of all birds of prey.
There are several other ways to say our thread is diverse too. We vary in location somewhat. Southern IN sure does not expect to get lake effect snow. We vary in age too, from the old (old Salt even put old in his screen name) to the young (I'm sure we have encouraged a few to get their HS diplomas). There are so many ways to say we are diverse; religion, food we feed our family, food we feed our chickens, entertainment likes,... Politics is only one of many dividers.
We are quite a diverse group. So sure we will have varying opinions on things like politics and childcare. But as long as it is family friendly and not against BYC rules, it is OK here.
