The Quality of the Posted Threads and Comments on the DA Political Forum: Week IV.


Folks, we had a plethera of threads that were locked this week for various posting violations!

It is the opinion of this Editor in Chief of the DA Political Forum Club that the quality of the Original Posts (OP's) that are presented as debateable topics are becoming no more than personal Journal entries, or just plain trash! It is with this in mind that I have just instituted a new weekly Editorial that is going to evaluate the merit, the quality, the viability, and the debate ability of the threads

[link] The DA Political Forum Posting Rules aka The Rules of Engagement.

As a guideline, I am going to use the established standard of posting in the DA Political Forum known as The Rules of Engagement. I suggest that every member of the DA Political Forum read and understand the standards for posting BEFORE they post or comment in the DA Political Forum.

Please keep in mind that the purpose of this column is not to embarrass or flame anyone, but to educate every one on how to post better threads.

Threads that should not be posted.

01 [link] You broke the rules! @yashachan As *SwordOfScotland has said, you need something to discuss here - not just a statement of opinion. And as =OuroborosCobra has said, this should be in your journal.

02. [link] Who is not getting the real id $Tachy-on Could you please take some time to re-think your post and phrase it in a manner that is both understandable and generates discussion, thanks.

03. [link] Obama and Iraq. `zeruch

Im surprised that you dont think.

Please do not attempt to speak on my behalf (or as is more than apparent, a poor attempt to goad by convenient assumption). It is not only impolite, but in your case, you are not even remotely equipped for the task.

04. [link] My country is better than yours! Prove me wrong! ~OddGonzo Now that I have your attention. I am in a mood to write a rant about somthing. Nothing that states the obvious too much. Just something I can write a thousand words about. I was thinking politics, religion, romance and possibly arbie's.

@mykel - Please try to stay on topic with the forum, thank you.

05. [link] FOR SALE:APPLE IPHONE 16GB AT JUST $300USD $Stykera Do NOT spam the DA Political Forum with sales advertisements!

06. [link] Dont u just hate france? @mykel This would be much more suitable in your journal.

07. [link] Damn some threads got killed here! killing spree! :dev!SaintLibertine: Blood is all over the board! get a fucking life fuckers!

@Sting1 Not a politics-related discussion.

08. [link] Can we get real here? $Tachy-on Try not to copy/paste things you've seen on the 'net. We value your own opinion here, so try to be concise and succinct in your postings.

09. [link] Aspergers and how it relates to socialism.

a. `zeruch The newest trend in mental illness.

And here I thought it was the new batch of non-sensitur threads here.

b. @Narfmaster Buhhhhhhhhhh I'm gonna close this for the benefit of everyone.


Threads That We Applaude!

01. [link] What makes just war?

Wars like in Vietnam and currently the Iraq War are considered to be unjust and wasteful by popular opinion. But it is usually the same popular opinion who believes we should fight in place like Darfur and Burma.

02. [link] Mexico-American Border Cities: The War on Drugs Is Real!

All along the Mexican side of the USA-Mexican border, from Juarez to Tijuana, you can hear the ringing out of gunshots, as if you were in the Middle East. Some times that violence spills over onto the American side, as when a top Mexican policeman from Juarez stumbled acrossed the bridge to the USA and collapsed from his gunshot wounds. Kidnappings, cross border rapes, and shootings are so abundant that the Mexican soldiers not only can't stop it, but have been known to put on ski masks and become the perpitrators of these heinous crimes.

03. [link] Man-Made Global Warming doesn't exist.

Well, most people believe that CO2 causes global warming. And since humans produce most of the CO2, we must be causing global warming, right?

04. [link] Affirmative Action in Colleges.

Supporters of affirmative action in colleges argue that it helps enable more people from less privileged ethnic groups such as African-Americans and Hispanics attain the college education that they need, and promotes diversity in non-HBC (Historically Black Colleges) and other higher institutions of learning. They argue that it would provide them opportunities otherwise denied to them because of their background.

Opponents of affirmative action say it discriminates against those ethnic groups who get into school through achievement rather than race. Interestingly, Asian-Americans (among others) are increasingly counting themselves among those rejected by affirmative action, countering arguments made by supporters that such accusations only apply to whites.

05. [link] What picture of American society is likely to be imprinted on the consciousness of average Europeans.

American society is entirely ruled by money. No other value, whether familial, moral, religious, civic, cultural, professional, or ethical has any potency in itself. Everything in America is a commodity, regarded and used exclusively for its material value. A person is judged solely by the worth of his bank account. Every U.S. President has been in the pockets of the oil companies, the military-industrial complex, the agricultural lobby, or the financial manipulators of Wall Street. America is the "jungle" par excellence of out-of-control, "savage" capitalism, where the rich are always becoming richer and fewer, while the poor are becoming poorer and more numerous. Poverty is the dominant social reality in America. Hordes of famished indigents are everywhere, while luxurious chauffeured limousines with darkened windows glide through the urban wilderness.-Jean-Francois Revel.
