For fuck's sake, the election is over, and the only reason they post in Chit Chat is because they lack the mental constitution to argue their points in TSB.


You suspend people for posting ads in the lounge and chit chat. This is the same principle.

So? You think political issues suddenly don't matter now?

Have you ever actually been to TSB? It's not exactly a haven for intellectual discussion.

It's against the rules to post ads. Chit chat is anything goes, within reason. You can choose to not click on the thread, if it's really ruining your TWW experience.

I post political threads in chit chat to

-get different responses that would be received in Soap Box

-Get a discussion started for the non-politically savvy who might find the topic still interesting

-Showcase interesting news developments to the general public

This is like saying you want to ban bringing up political topics at the lunch table, or at a party, or any other casual social event, and restrict them to highly structured debates complete with podiums and moderators. Sounds like a certain president I know of...

At the very least its a break from the stupid 'ITT' and youtube threads.

tl;dr:

chit chat is "my" forum... so I post serious stuff sometimes

but it is funny when people get a bit soap boxy

btw... the soapbox is more than chit chat

there's not a separate section for posting pictures of trannys fucking donkeys. if there were, i'm sure all the tranny/donkey fucking pictures you'd want to see would be in that section rather than chit chat.

GET THIS SHIT THE FUCK OUT.

9/17/2009 1:31:56 PM

bump per request

occasional serious business threads in chit chat are fine. people who constantly make those types of threads in chit chat or end up just antagonizing people will be directed to the soap box and/or user_logout.aspx

i think the threads have been fairly reasonable. there's been a few that people tried to troll by giving it to the masses and gotten brushed off... but i dont think its anything to be alarmed about... IMO.

yeah really, it's like the poster is somehow acting like somehow any type of discussion gets worked out in TSB instead of the exact same trolling/venting/bitching that 50% of chit chat threads turn in to and in fact TSB is actually prob worse in that regard

6/12/2011 8:39:35 PM

Soap box is 99% circular trolling

Ban anyone who re-posts this block of text

Quote :

"Warning: Many words, but I know what I'm talking about. I know quite a few of these types, probably a dozen or so, and I've done far more research on them than I ever intended to do. They're far more complicated, and different, than the impressions given by most articles written by folks who have just discovered them, get outraged, and write something. Upon first hearing, many will respond: "well, they just want a theocracy where all unbelievers are killed or converted, especially gays," but that's missing the point. Neither of those is particularly true. Yes, they want official government endorsement of main tenets of Christianity, and yes they believe sodomy ought to bear the death penalty (along with adultery, meaning gays are not singled out - it's the attack on marriage and what they see as the basic social fabric that they care most about). But to stop there and scream at them (however justified) leaves out some of the very interesting complexity in their view of the world. It's not just 'the bible is true, kill everyone who doesn't think like we do.' You will not find a more die-hard dominionist than Gary North, who has written a number of books outlining what he thinks an explicitly Christian, Biblical government should look like in modern America. He believes in the death penalty for things many of y'all would find even more outrageous than execution for homosexual activity. Yet, he's a regular contributor to LewRockwell.com and other libertarian sites. Go on to ronpaulforums.com and you will see a number of users with names like Theocrat as outspoken volunteers for Paul. How could so many Flanders-on-steroids Christians align themselves with godless, pot-smoking libertarians? Because they value hard money (on the principle of honest weights and measures), believe in the rule of law rather than men, and demand a heavy bias toward the defendant in criminal cases and strict rules of evidence. They believe in the dignity of man as a creation of God, so their threshold for going to war is extremely high. They see government as a necessity to restrain evil, and believe its jurisdiction (what counts as crime rather than just sin) is explicitly laid out for them. Because they believe the Bible lays out all that is properly within the sphere of civil government, anything outside of that should remain within man's liberty. That means they abhor the regulatory state as an infringement of their property rights, because the Bible doesn't give authority to government to do such things. When it comes to justice, there is no notion of prison. The penalty for crime is either short, swift, and punishing (death penalty, usually) or restorative to the victim (a thief's sentence being to pay or work off a multiple of what he owes). Most believe prison itself is a violation of justice on every level, because it leaves victims uncompensated, the time given is arbitrary on the criminal, etc. They are often for full stop to the drug war. Generally, they want very small government. The Patriot Act and anything like it is usually abhorrent to them. They love localized government, with decision-making and responsibility as close to the individual as possible. Nationally, or even state-wide, the ties and the government should be smaller and only focused on the most essential common principles to have one people. The language of property rights and individual freedom certainly rhymes with the way they frame issues. They aren't Libertarian, for sure, but they have an awful lot more ground in common than many would guess. The few areas of divergence are huge, though, and reveal how different their starting points are. You'll find them in many places, but the Republican Party is not a common one. Hopefully, this helps give some light as to why these people are not often suspected for believing such things until asked. They know it's hard to explain when their worldview, in relative terms, has a starting point of Mars to the average person. They also find many of the complaints from all sides of the political aisle to have some validity, and so they are able to work alongside even those completely opposed to them. Lastly, most will say they have no interest in forcing their changes from top down through political power. They want incremental changes (many of which are somewhat within the realm of normal political positions), but they know the driving force for the major stuff requires a fundamental, and massive, overhaul of the culture and religion of the people. So they work through their churches to spread things that are more important to them than government, while hoping that eventually those changes will lead to what they see as a better government. Short version: it's complicated, and I find it fascinating. And no, I'm not one of them."
