Description
An ongoing group discussion of major current events around the globe. Political discussions are welcome as long as they remain civil and respectful. Disagreements are expected and encouraged, but they must not become personal. We are looking for informative and interesting discourse.
Guidelines
The Amazingly Compact Member Guide
v 0.71. I expect everyone to act their age. Arguments are fine, insults are not. Multiple violations will result in negative consequences.
2. Just because someone dangles bait in front of your face doesn't mean you have to swallow it. This is not about who gets the last word in or who can be a bigger jerk. Act like your Mama raised you right.
3. Sweeping generalizations such as "all you Republicans" or "those liberals" or whatever are to be avoided. Such generalizations are almost always wrong, and are usually just indirect insults. (See Rule #1 above.)
4. Please do not cross-post. (Place the same message in more than one group) It just wastes space, and reduces the “signal to noise ratio.”
5. When starting a new topic, please place all text beyond the first couple of paragraphs in the first reply.
6. Over in the Files Section there is a Document Reference Page, (an HTML page that your browser can open) with links to The Constitution, The Federalist Papers, etc. Feel free to use them or to suggest additions to the page.
Above all, let’s keep it enjoyable!
Silas
