Channel 200..the most active political forum on the internet..
« on: December 01, 2010, 11:09:13 PM »
Please I am begging..stop talking about politics on 200. I really dont't care to be "educated" about your views. I come to this game to get away from it. People tell me to detune...but why should i detune? It is constant ...every damn night. I love this game, and I like to banter with people about game topics and talk a little game related trash too. The political talk is disgusting and always degrades into the equivalent of neanderthals having a contest of who can grunt the loudest. I know it was banned on 200 long ago but it has never been enforced. I notice when the political talk starts...everyone else who was talking stops, and it disrupts the whole flow of the game. In the past, it wasn't such a big deal because it didn't happen so much. Now its the SAME people EVERY night. I have been playing for years, and it has never been this bad....probably a sign of the times, but the game is supposed to be an escape..not a soap box for people who obviously are not listened to by anyone in their real life. There are countless forums devoted to this sort of "debate". This game should not be one of them.

Thats the beauty of living in Australia, you can talk politics and no one even knows you're doing it.
All I said was it was a meal fit for Julia Gillard.

BigR is right on this one.  If you want to talk politics go somewhere else.  Shouldn't have to detune 200 because of folks talking stupid stuff that has no place in the AH world.  If you are that bent on complaining about politics, get away from your computer and go get elected, or work for someone.

I read much of it over 200, I found none of it irritating. the real beauty is we are all free. Free to read it and ignore it.

Channel 200, the channel to talk between countries, should not be used as a political soapbox by a few blowhards in search of a captive audience.  It is simply not the appropriate place to have a reasoned conversation on the subject, and no other type of conversation on the subject is worth having.

If you really need to put out political statements to a captive audience of the length and complexity that will fit in the chat buffer line, your car or truck's rear is a great place to put your thoughts.

Alternatively, take it to another channel so that those of us not consumed by our vexation with some politician or other don't have to be subjected to the drivel.
