Author Topic: Political and news bulletin board links? (Read 264 times)

BTW · « **on:** September 30, 2006, 02:55:38 PM »

I enjoy reading controversial debates about politics and world events, and I also understand why HTC would not want to host controversial debates. Anyone have any good links to some boards where posts and debates are not heavily censored? I guess I'm looking for something like the o'club but not in a business that has to be careful not to offend anyone.

I hope this doesn't sound critical of the o'club. It isn't meant to be.

BTW, I did google it and a got about a bazillion links- thats why I'm asking if anyone knows of the good ones.

The straight dope message boards are well debated, but a bit dry..
Suave has a pretty lively one in his sig.

I have enjoyed reading the:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/

It's has a left wing slant, BUT, the responses are from both the left and right and never censored in any way. The content is usually political, but it is not restricted to politics only.

BTW you're welcome to join the crowd at Bigweek, a leftover from the Air Warrior days. The only censorship there is via flame war

Its an NNTP environment. Newserver: news dot kraits dor org, newsgroup bigweek dot general.

Thanks again all - good links in there.

I used to follow bigweek. But its the group bigweek dot awscenarios. There's not much traffic there now. I'll try the group you posted from the server you posted.

Thanks!

As much as I miss when news groups ruled the internet, web boards are so much easier
