how about a 9/11 "no politics" day?
 
I don't know about others, but I'm sick and tired of politics and the political threads. The same old nonsense day after day after day. Nothing new, nothing creative or funny - just mostly nasty tripe.

So here's my idea. Let's make tomorrow, Thursday 11sep08 is "no politics" day on PPOT. This would be totally voluntary as I'm not going to delete or lock threads if they don't conform. I'm just thinking it would be nice to have a day here with threads about motorcycles, pets, sports, oddities, etc and NO POLITICS. Just for a day. Then you guys can go back to the usual stuff.

Just a thought...

If we don't debate politics...........does that mean that that terrorists have won?

Why not either put everything to do with this years election in one humungous thread or request Wayne branch off OT and create a political only forum.

Seriously, there are 30 different threads daily on the same old crap just said differently. ;)

the irony is not lost on me. I'm soaking in it

ohhh, a threadfest approach. I'll have to ponder that and discuss.

In all seriousness, this view of yours seems to correlate with Obama doing poorly.

From my POV, all kinds of funny new stuff.

Politicians ARE the terrorists. Just look at how they've messed up PPOT (let alone the rest of the country).

I proposed this exact same thing a few years ago and was basically served a hearty mug of STFU.

Screw you, you liberal neocon fascist appeaser! All hate, all the time!!! :p

I feel ya' no-no.

The "no politics" referendum will give everyone a chance to focus on what's really important - namely, the MILF, chest and random pic threads, which have been disappointing of late.

onewhippedpuppy 09-10-2008 08:28 AM

So should we declare a war on politics?

kstar 09-10-2008 08:28 AM

One can have a "political thread day" or a "cat fart thread day" just by being selective. :)

Pazuzu 09-10-2008 08:29 AM

Can we make 9/10 a No Political Thread Day too?

LOL

...and yeah, as Kurt points to, the cat fart thread is really an important player in all of this. :D

Don't forget about the large hardon collider.

kstar 09-10-2008 08:35 AM

I guess I just like the approach of letting each individual PPOT participant or PPOT reader create his or her own "customized" experience based on their own personal choices, i.e. read what you want, ignore what you don't.

I vote to add 9/12, too.

Oh, wait. Is "voting" politics?

We just can't get anything right these days!


I'm gonna go outside and blow my dog whistle until Ike turns my way.

No politics in the no politics day thread! Some people just don't get irony.
