Okay I understand all this "we are an internet community" stuff and it is a nice personal touch when someone posts a quick note about their significant other, their job, their pets, etc.
However ultimately this is a board about cars, sponsored by a company that sells automotive parts.
I'm sure there are many BBS's where debate you political alliances.
I know there are BBS's where you can discuss your religious beliefs.
We all know there is plenty of porn on the internet if that is what you want to look at or talk about.
Do you go to an auto parts store to buy underwear?
Do you go to a pet store to buy an oil filter?
There is an old adage that goes something like "at parties or family a get together don't discuss religion or politics"
I'm pretty sure overkill never though that his post about going to war would lead to several pages liberal Vs conservative name calling, But what did it accomplish? The liberals and the conservatives still blame each other for everything that is wrong with the world and the politicians are loving it because it keeps anyone from noticing what a terrible job they are doing. "We have met the enemy, and they is us"
So I have this nutty idea that maybe we should try to keep most of our discussions here about cars.

Oh and I DO appreciate the irony that I am posting an OT thread complaining about OT threads... but then I never claimed to be the brightest bulb on the tree!
