What we need is a secret entrance!Quote:

Any Ideas?
You could go into BookWorld and like pull on a certain volumn and this secret door would open!
Cool!
and then we could have a secret handshake and wear robes and have special rituals and basically be Masons!
Oh boy!
Have we the resolve to build our own pyramid? :P
i totally agree with changing the name of these threads
when i started i think marines were already eating army surplus hot-dogs in Baghdad
so the war isn't very useful as a title, i had been thinking that
'international politics' might be appropriate, [although 'anitnational politics' would fit me better] now i'm thinking
'The United Notions'
it would have been nice to get post count for participating here but i think that the post count works well as it is because the forum is about kazaa and therefore only kazaa/P2P threads should count [but on that note what about the guest section and a lot of why/help threads which should have been answered by reading FAQs]
and since my topic 'isn't filesharing a solcialist activity?' was savaged after it's move to the lounge i have deep reluctance to try to discuss anything mildly serious there ever again
i don't like the 'physical' name suggestions like the drawing room etc. as there is nothing physical here, also any suggestion of exclusivity should be avoided i feel, as the more views expressed the richer the idealogical compost we make here
i really hope that this will keep going, as it is one of the most entertaining and frank opportunities for us to speak our minds on topics which are rarely explored so personally these days
[i have had to turn off the option for people to send me email through the board 'cause all anyone used it for was to send me hate mail - that being the only downside i've experienced, we should keep it going and build]
Perhaps. But not the manpower. ;)Quote:

Secret passage in bookworld :lol:
That is so funny,but I cant help loving it.
I think as a sub in bookworld is a great place.
Maybe have a sign up to get in or something.
That type of "creativity for it's own sake" would probably be dubbed in some way discriminatory. :(Quote:

It would be kinda neat, though. ;)
Current Affairs Section sounds good to me....
Good place to blow off some steam.... B)
Well, this thread is 4 pages and growing....come on Mods....at least lets rename it!
Perhaps we need a poll of suggested names.....leave it in the lounge if you like but lets have a new name.
Yo-Club!Quote:

Good to have you here-expectations are high. ;)
As has been said above a current affairs forum would be great but surely a far wider variety of issues, concepts and ideas can be discussed. Although there is plenty of information available for current affairs and they present interesting topics for discussion, I've quietly watched many topics degenerate into flame wars (and I've stayed out of them for that reason). Perhaps a wider range of discussion which people might be less prone to flaming with might be better as well as current affairs?
A topic so bland as to not present at least the possibility of flaming wouldn't be worth the space in this section.
I think the tone in here has evened out of late and the stage is set for some productive debate.
A lively debate that doesn't occasionally degenerate into sheer hysteria would be boring.
Watch the British Parliament for my idea of a suitable role model.
They are so amusing and ,after all, my primary reason for being here is amusement. Any side benefits, such as education, cultural expansion, etc. are simply perks.
Unlike the Mods, I don't get a fabulous salary and the chance to be bribed ( yes, I know you will see that, Bender) just to be here.
Just so.......Quote:

Nursey School (Kindergarten?) would be a better role model.Quote:

I find it much more rewarding watching the children, than a bunch of incontinent, immoral, greedy, power hungry and senile people arguing.
Actually, thinking about it......maybe they just never left the Nursery...
Yeah!
And what's up with the wigs?
Oh, you were talking about the House of Lords?Quote:

I was talking about the House of Commons.....
House of Commons 'runs' the country..
House of Lords owns the country.... ;)
I'm not interested in the riffraff...
Take me to your Leader!
I didn't say it had to be impossible to flame in it. After all, people like to let off a little steam every now and then and I like a lively debate as much as the next person so long as people don't get too carried away (starting on personal insults etc.)...Just thought a wider range of topics might be considered.Quote:

As for the British parliament, i've got to admit they are amusing...though I must say they should stop treating it as a game to score points against each other. Makes me wish they were'nt the parliament running my country. Thank god our royalty have no real power though...then we really would be in trouble. :lol: (though thinking about it you could say we already are...anyway enough of my cynicism and pessimism) B)
the royal family :lol:
a complete joke.
waste of time, money and space.
The Queen........... oh...please dont get me started.... :lol:
Lets hang those republicans.... :rolleyes:
I've always wondered how many of those "Knights of the Realm" are also "Knights of the Green Shield" ... or are otherwise heavily invested in British Petroleum.Quote:

Politics can get rather rigid and dry in a hurry.
personally, I'm a big fan of cynicism and pessimism ( which is why, all evidence to the contrary, I was a fan of JPaul's. He just caved and ran too quickly for my taste, but there you go. If you're ghosting about JP, why not come back?) so don't put them away- polish and cultivate 'em. ;)
A Knight of the Realm hasnt enough rank to make it into the House of Lords (at least not that title on its own)Quote:

I THINK (Im not big on this) that BP was originally owned by the small investor, which means its probably now wholley owned by Private Pension Funds and other large corporations.
Not my favourite company, as they hired certain people to beat up and kill protestors in a third world country where they were operating and had a lot of political muscle (see, its not just US companies that are bastards ;) )
