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!

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.

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


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?

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!
