We need a "politics" forum

[DarkKnt]

I think most of us come to the forum due to our interest in a particular motorcycle. I assume the forum was started with that in mind. We come from different countries with varied backgrounds and political opinions. I suggest that we keep discussions and expressions of personal political opinions to one location on the forum, and leave it out of other threads. As well meaning as some posts are, many of us frankly don't care to discuss it, or even hear about it, on threads that should be about - motorcycles. If there was a specific "Politics" section, those that wanted to impart their political wisdom on others could do so there, and the rest of us could happily ignore it....
I belong to several other forums that have such a system, and it seems to work.
Just a thought.

We come here to this forum to escape that shit. The problem with having a separate section is people will eventually meet at get togethers and rides and the politics will come up between the two, or more, opposite sides and now not only do you know their username but they're in front of your face. Mix that with a couple of cocktails and you have a shitshow. Especially the Bleeding Heart Liberal Asswipes

I agree that politics should not have a section on this forum and we should stick to motorcycle related issues that concern us all...I to, am "guilty" as charged,for expressing some of my views on the site when I should not be doing so on motorcycle related issues....I will admit I have little or no use for liberal, socialist, radicals , that have no clue what they are talking about with their "BS"...But, from now on I will keep these views to myself and refrain from posting them on this site...Regards

I thought the Off-Topic was for such purposes......if anyone is interested in using it!!!!

[motornerd]

Wouldn't political posts go on the "off topic" section?

Lol.

This happens on every forum. I am on a snowmobile forum and a thread that began what supplies you carry with you on remote rides, turned into a gun rights debate.

Having a keyboard and screen in front of us makes us a little more likely to be direct.

This happens every time I mention “Enron”.

Motorcycle riding is a matter of concentration, convincing other your opinion is better than theirs is a bit more daunting.
