Are we allowed to talk politics?

Actually it was George Bush Senior's Vice President Dan Quayle. Good old Danny Boy. Come on Chill get up to date on your US history ;) What are they teaching you in NFLD? :)
 
Poor Dan Quayle. He can't have been as dumb as he seemed but wow was he a bad speaker. Like a Yogi Berra caliber bad speaker.
 
Right. See I should know better than to comment on history or politics cause it's just not my thing. Sadly us Canadains ussualy know more about US history and politics than our own. Last year CBC ran a series to determine the greatest Canadain and Tommy Douglas won. Tommy Douglas was probably deserving of that honor but until I saw the show I never heard of him.
Pardon my ignorance I shall try to refrain from future error.

Oh and we have our own Danny boy here and he's a little more flamboyant than Dan Quayle. He had a heated arguement with Ottawa a little while ago and removed the Canadian flag from all Provincal Government buildings which caused a little bit of debate across the counrty. Flags are flying again now and all is well in the land.

Quayle wasn't controversial and didn't cause problems, he was just, well, stuuuuuuuupid when they gave him a mic. Very intelligent man, but he must have loved the taste of his foot in his mouth.

btw, who is Tommy Douglas?

You said you don't know what to do with political and religious talk well, I don't know one way or the other but over at http://www.bikeforums.net/ they have a section that is reserved just for that, with a special agreement before you enter it (and when you go in each time you have to type yes to that agreement each time), that basicly says you can talk about it, and debat in there. what is talked in that part of the fourum stays only in that part, and not attacks alowed.

I don't know if that is the right way or a wrong way, but it is just how another fourum does it.
 
The problem is that fights tend to turn nasty, and spill out into the other forums. The decision to limit toics in GCC was made quite some time ago, when we had to close the forum entirely due to problem threads that got out of hand.

Quite frankly, I'm baffled by why this is a problem. This is a fish forum. Why come here to debate politics? Talk about fish, get help, share funny things with people, but leave the heavy stuff 'at the door', so to speak.
