are you asking if political threads should be allowed in off topic?
Off-Topic: Politics Yes/No (Poll)
Can't think of anything wrong with it. Unless, of course, you don't like the idea of your comfortable views being threatened.
I'm all for intelligent discourse.
EDIT:
Case in point, this is what I'm not talking about.
Hell No, Thats why Political Base exists. If i wanted to hear about how much the modern world sucks i'd go listen to some of my deadbeat friends talk about there "so-called" life
"Bellum said:I'm all for intelligent discourse."You, my friend, seem to forget we're on the internet."
Sorry, I respect the internet a great deal more than is popular on many forums.

Nope, just that your opinion is ignorant. ;)
I will say no, these kind of things always end with a flame war and the inevitable locked thread. Even when they don't I still think that all arguing about politics does is tear us apart as a community because it isn't about our enjoyment of video games.

The part where political discussions are about "how the modern world sucks", about how people you disagree with don't have lives, about how gamers aren't

"Shinryu said:I didnt say all poltical discussions were about that, i said thats what my friends who i hate discussing politics with talk about -_- . I didnt say gamers wernt interested in politics either, just that i dont see how its productive when there is already a website in the same damn media production set up with the subject of politics in mind. And finally NO i did not say that at all, i just stated that this website was desgined for video games (clearly!) and that in my opinion id rather not see politics in place."Bellum said:"Shinryu said:How so?, i've have enough of this crap in reality with people.

Bleh...
Politics and games play hand in hand. Look at MGS4 and tell me there are no politics. Video Games are used for political purposes... America's Army Political Forces is a prime example and on the other end of the spectrum... Laws being passed against games. I just wanted to see what the community thought.
