Terry's political post reminded me of weather The Cleaners Lounge should allow posts regarding religion or politics. I never really cared for them in a cleaning forum. Heck I never really cared for them in real life What say you?

I said no simply because those discussions always turn into urinating contests. Not that I may disagree with a conservative viewpoint, but you know what I mean.

We could put it in a room of its own with out numerous titles. The thread could just run open on what ever hot topic of the hour stimulated by the group. Give it a room just don't feed it with fuel ie thread titles. I voted no. But I also gave a verbal approval for my friends who love that type stuff. lol!

My hopes for a better fall may be affected by this shut down. Large military/Government presents here in Carolina.

I some what keep up with politics (try to read and listen to other sources besides TV) but don't talk about it on the boards. Doesn't bother me if people want to discuss it. Maybe make a room for this and people can decide whether or not to participate.
Ryan you must of been working late or got up early to go hunting according to the time stamp on your post.

Political topics are alienating at times, but it is a huge piece of our lives and directly affects a business, so I say allow it. As with any topic, you can choose to take part or not.

The key is to keep it on-topic and not drift into personal attacks. With that limit, I think healthy discussions are positive.

As for government itself, we haven't had a good politician since it became an occupation instead of a service.

I say NO! Because they always turn into war on internet forums.

and also, some have already......oh F it! I'm just playing the game, and I'm not going to replay that again.

NO NO NO, if you need to spout your Political BS and Religious beliefs
I say go do it somewhere where it's welcomed by all. haha Good luck with that!

Although both topics make me nauseous, to each their own......assuming the discussions are held in the correct room of course.

An off-topic room already exist, so it would not make sense to not allow such topics in a room set aside for that purpose.

This poll ran for a week 11 votes for no political or religious posts and 1 yes to allow. Ryan, Larry, Millspec would be OK for a Political and Religious room. Terry said get our heads out of our arse LOL.

Even thou 90% voted NO it doesn't seem like it was a general consensus. So we are going to have a Political & Religious room and I reserve the right to change my mind at any time.

Consensus isn't necessary as it is clear that people are voicing strong opposition to including it. I don't need a section, I just don't mind people wanting to discuss the matters. What government does or doesn't do affects our business and our clients, it is just a reality. If those discussions add to our success, I am interested in taking part. If they detract, then they should be avoided.

Taxes, ependable revenues, licensing, dumping laws, insurance, DOT rules, lead usage, etc. all are determined by government actions. How do you seperate that from our discussions? I don't think we can and be successful.

Since there's only two members who are for discussing these topics, and 86% aren't.....
Is it possible to set this Political & Religious forum to not show up when clicking on the "New Post" link?

Thet way we don't have to determine what's what and don't have to worry about accidentally stumbling into the forbidden zone. Laughing  Question
