For me, it's an increasing lack of time as the economy picks up. Tom Send a noteboard - 09/02/2011 04:46:08 PM
Of course, we all can find time for our priorities, so I guess that's an admission that a discussion of politics on these fora isn't my top priority. I tend to read a bit on the Books board from time to time, in part because it dovetails with my goal for this year to achieve full fluency in French and German.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

What happened that this board doesn't discuss politics/current events anymore? Aeryn - 09/02/2011 02:52:23 PM 1058 Views
One already knows exactly which argument one will get into with exactly which other people. nossy - 09/02/2011 03:21:03 PM 722 Views
that's what it seems like to me too. temeraire - 09/02/2011 04:49:28 PM 691 Views
This. Sareitha Sedai - 09/02/2011 06:05:10 PM 599 Views

For my money, what rt said is the root cause of what you said. Joel - 09/02/2011 08:56:25 PM 699 Views
Oh there is plenty. More than enough for my taste ironclad - 09/02/2011 04:08:21 PM 722 Views

That's hardly a surprise considering the site is running from EUROPEAN SOIL!1!! *NM* ironclad - 10/02/2011 08:14:10 PM 274 Views
I think there is just a general lack of people talking about pretty much anything anymore *NM* random thoughts - 09/02/2011 04:25:35 PM 257 Views

It's still discussed, too much almost. Stephen - 09/02/2011 05:59:56 PM 699 Views
Note: I see the irony of my reply. Sorry. Stephen - 09/02/2011 06:41:38 PM 819 Views
I don't see the irony. Aeryn - 10/02/2011 01:25:41 AM 672 Views
It just seemed that way to me, sorry Stephen - 10/02/2011 07:58:05 PM 614 Views
It IS unhealthy and dangerous. Dannymac - 09/02/2011 07:16:53 PM 663 Views
Hey, when was the last time ireland got into a war that wasn't with ourselves? Stephen - 09/02/2011 07:18:20 PM 574 Views
I'm fairly sure the "European" comment was because two of her three topics were American ones. Legolas - 09/02/2011 07:38:44 PM 659 Views
Were I you, I would post about the election, yes. Joel - 09/02/2011 08:59:48 PM 646 Views
My personal strategy is posting what I find interesting, whether it gets replies or not. Legolas - 09/02/2011 09:09:13 PM 665 Views
This of course begs the question... *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 09/02/2011 06:03:20 PM 272 Views
Did you not see my post on Chipotle firing illegal workers? Macharius - 09/02/2011 06:57:12 PM 737 Views

Too bad. Aeryn - 10/02/2011 01:26:26 AM 601 Views
There were a few posts about Egypt. Avendesora - 09/02/2011 07:15:36 PM 680 Views

Yup. *NM* Darth_Katie - 09/02/2011 08:38:23 PM 244 Views
Sometimes, yes. Other issues, typically theological ones, I can't stomach remaining silent. *NM* Zalis - 09/02/2011 09:27:55 PM 447 Views
So basically we're sick & tired of each other. THAT is a true death knell for the community. *NM* Aeryn - 10/02/2011 01:23:29 AM 265 Views
That doesn't follow Camilla - 10/02/2011 08:00:45 AM 668 Views

Ain't that the truth. Elaine - 10/02/2011 01:02:02 PM 684 Views
Depends whom you ask, though I tend to agree with you. Joel - 09/02/2011 08:50:58 PM 804 Views
