I agree, anything goes in the "sandbar" but....
If you think about the times you were actually at the sandbar did you talk about politics?
When I'm actually at the sandbar I'm usually talking about babes or beers or pasties or tequila drinks or vodka drinks or boats or engines or dirtbikes or sports and eventually every conversation gets back to babes.... :D

:D Actually I thought they had been a little better about keeping their politics, to political threads...Or maybe I just feel that way because HighRoller changed his avitar.
I haven't been on much lately so I could be wrong...It happend once before............ :clover:
But I voted own thread area.

I am not against doing this, however it would be deleted once the elections are over. Someone already suggested a great name for the section, "Political Rhetoric". I will see how this poll does over the next couple of days before making a decision.
Soooooo, who wants to be a moderator for that section? :yuk: :yuk:

I agree with HH :jawdrop: and am against it.
If you start making seperate forums for every "off topic" subject that certain members don't like or don't prefer to read you will have like 1437 forums before you know it.
Don't like, don't read. Easy solution. :hammer2:
If you make a political forum here are some suggestions for some more to follow that I'm sure some members don't like the content of in the sandbar...
Music forum
Movies forum
Insurance forum
Dumb shit RD bashing forum
What's for lunch forum
Toilet pictures forum
Post w hore only forum
Sports forum
Joke forum
Job interview forum
Special event pics forum
Pets forum
Kids forum
You're a homo forum

but if you act now you'll get not one not two but three forums of your choice, you choose the subject and we'll give you a little space reserved just for you and whatever it is that is in your head. Yes three forums of your choice you and you only will respond to aggravatingposts, be your own moderator, pick and choose the titles of your thread, but you have to ACT NOW!!!! .just send 100 extra reputation points to your favorite person on the boards, and your first born male child, But remember you have to ACT NOW!!!!!! :D :idea: ;)

how about a warning label? like with adult content. ... that way "some people" won't open a political thread and get offended.
BTW can someone show me to the person who "forces" you to open a political thread?
I know sometimes its hard to resist opening one but if you try really really hard you can avoid them altogther. its totally up to you.
Give it a try sometime. :p

Naw, keep it the way it is. Sandbar is for "open" topics, except for those which some don't like? I think there's enough sensorship going on already in this country, and this election is a pretty big one...people obviously want to talk about it. I would bet dimes to dognuts (yes, dognuts) that there was plenty of political discussion going on this last weekend.
Don't like it, don't read it. Don't like what's on your radio, change the channel. Don't like what's on your TV, turn it off. Don't like what's in the news paper, don't read it! Man, I'ts getting old, hearing individuals complain about doing something voluntarily, and expecting everyone else to get out of their way or fix their problem!! This is a FREE country, which means we are FREE to do or not do something! It also means you are free to express your dislike! Isn't it great!

Don't like, don't read. Easy solution. :hammer2:
That's the way I feel. It's the Sandbar and it's a place where people can post a thread about any random subject. If I'm not interested in the thread, I simply just don't read it.
I'm not much for the political thread's but they definitely don't need there own forums. Once the elections are over I'm thinking we won't see nearly as many.

That Kerry what a prankster, has been Complaining about the Swift Boat guys, and the ties to the Bush admin, went and spent approximately 10 mill on ads critical of Bush and the commercials by the Swift Boat Guys, and just days before the ads are to run asks President Bush if he would denounce the ads so that the issue will just go away, expecting Bush and his Camp to say no, therefore he could run his ads, The Pres. said of course i'll denounce the ads, no problem, i guess so much for being a Dumb President.

I don't think there is the need for a separate forum. Most political threads have political titles, is it that hard to avoid them? Really, I don't care either way, but I voted not to separate them. I would also vote for Debolas for moderator, if she wants it. She seems open-minded and non-confrontational. It would be better than having two moderators who would disagree.

What we now see is a significant number of post from the right, the reason is simple, Kerry is unelectable. Get over it, in some 75 days it will be over.

can I cry "censorship" now (even though it isn't).
also I think the use of the term "rhetoric" to describe this thread is incorrect. Rhetoric is the persuasive use of speech.
technically what we are doing is complaining, arguing and calling each other names. That ain't rhetoric.
so if you're gonna put us way down in the basement why don't we come up with a better title.
May I suggest..... "banished" political threads or...... sort of free speech.....
just trying to help. ;)
BTW what ever happened to the good ole American saying..... "I may not like what your saying but I defend you right to say it"........ :confused: or... "the most unpopular speech is the type that needs the most defending."

I have been doing my own pole on the presidential race and it seens to me that 90% of the boaters poled are for Bush. Now it seems that the Cal boaters are the ones that Bush needs to talk to and get their vote. For some ungodly reason Cal boater/voters are mislead that George is screwing them in some way. Just remember that he does what he says. I think he has done everything he said he would do in some way. Don't expect that from Flippin John. Everyday he has a different plan.

You are correct, however as shown below I was thinking more of number three (disapproving). Besides "Political Rhetoric" sounded better. I think moveon.org is going to sponsor the banner.
rhetoric [Show phonetics]
noun [U]
1 speech or writing which is intended to be effective and persuasive:
How far the president will be able to translate his campaign rhetoric into action remains to be seen.
I was swayed by her rhetoric into donating all my savings to the charity.
2 SPECIALIZED the study of the ways of using language effectively
3 DISAPPROVING clever language which sounds good but is not sincere or has no real meaning:
In reply to the question, he just produced a lot of empty (= meaningless) rhetoric.

I agree that it has a nice "ring" but its still not correct.
while that may be technically correct especially when we quote John Kerry though his empty meaningless diatribes and his minions quoting the DNC talking points ;)...... but
some of what we discuss is REBUTTAL TO THE RHETORIC. To demonstrate that something is rhetoric, one must make a factual case to the contrary. Therefore some of what we do is debate.
although some responses, whining and complaining is "opinion" and therefore rhetoric ;)
sorry to nitpick. geez, you would think this is a boat site or something. ;)
