No Health Care or Political Jokes

You want to rip on the health care plan with a little joke...you want to rip on those against the health care plan with a little joke. We don't care. And it doesn't belong. The littlest joke ends up drawing back and forth from people babbling about how right or wrong the stupid joke was.

We have some fun in this forum of course. But people just can't handle political jokes no matter how little and innocent you might think it is. There is always somebody who thinks the opposite of you on that issue. The little jokes always generate replies and then eventually turn more serious and then turn into some stupid side discussion about how great/lousy Obama is, etc.

We have a politics forum. Your health care and Obama observations belong over there...not here.

Re: No Health Care or Political Jokes

Can people go back to posting jokes/quips/fail images of Bush like those that occured over the better part of the past decade or is this sudden desire to ban all political discourse in NVG an homage to Barack Obama?

Sorry, meant to lock and sticky this policy.

I deleted many dumb political jokes and hijacks well before Obama even announced he was running for President. There is nothing sudden about this policy.

My guess would be that I've deleted more Bush slams than Obama slams but I'm really not sure and never thought about it. A dumb political hijack that starts retarded flame-wars is equally idiotic to me regardless of which side is getting bashed.

I don't read every post of every thread in here (and you couldn't pay me enough money to do so) so I'm sure there were some that got slipped in there that that weren't reported or that I wasn't aware of.
