Help! Skinner, any chance of changing this forum...GDP... |
|
Edited on Sun Apr-12-09 10:05 PM by YvonneCa
...back to General Discussion - Politics, so that we have a place to discuss serious issues? We could move all the puppy threads and pirate threads and Navy Seal threads, etc. to GD...
Just a thought..:shrug:

2. Why can we not do both? There is plenty of serious discussions going around. |
|
Like President Obama I think we can multitask.

4. If the puppy threads bother you so much |
|
don't read them. Is it really that hard?

6. None of the threads bother me at all. But we used to have a place for serious... |
|
...issues called GD-Politics. During the election, it made sense to change it to GD-Presidential to have one forum for the presidential election stuff...which also made sense. But now, both forums are the same. Example...people post on topics related to Obama in GD-Presidential and GD.
It's not about puppies...I love puppies. :7 I even read the threads and look at the pictures. ;)

|
at home discussing them.
Thank you.

8. The pirate issue and the Navy Seals work during the incident aren't serious? |
|
I think they are. And they are directly related to the President and his handling of his job.
So what's the problem?

12. Of course they are serious. And very worthy of... |
|
...discussion. But people don't know which forum to use for discussion. Look at GD and GD/P.

...really. And I love puppies. I'm a dog fan. :) I just miss the fact that there used to be a GD-Politics forum...that wasn't where the puppies hang out. :7
Now the puppies (and the pirates) don't know where to go. They must be confused. ;)

makes it easier to excuse, and if I may, participate in the off task blabber.

32. Correct. And that is why I'd like to change the forum.. |
|
..from GD-Presidential (which it has been since the primaries) BACK to GD-Politics (which is what it was before the 2008 election).
But, of course, that's only my preference...not my decision.:)

...so this post may have been a big mistake. :7 I actually wasn't really thinking about puppies when I posted...I was just nostalgic for the days when we had GD-Politics to discuss serious political issues.
Now some people think :sarcasm: I'm a puppy hater. :cry:

Yep. That's strange. I would love it if DU went back to GD Politics. And I post in Jackeens O pic threads a lot.
And no, you're not a puppy hater. It's good to float this idea around.

My motto, "If it's the kind of story carried 24/7 on cable news shows (like Nancy Grace, for example)...then it belongs in GD...not GD/Politics. That's for serious political issue discussion. (And, yes, I know it's GD/Presidential right now. :7 )
