We should turn The Church into I Love Politics.

i voted no because i hate politics

― jergins, Thursday, 16 October 2008 20:23 (seventeen years ago)

Too much polls and too much politics these days

― Vision, Thursday, 16 October 2008 22:48 (seventeen years ago)

Too MANY polls, actually

― Vision, Thursday, 16 October 2008 22:52 (seventeen years ago)

Shit idea.

We can implement with the proviso that nobody's allowed to talk about politics taking place in their own country.

just delete all the sub-boards (except for TMI, natch) and we can have a true ILE.

Matt, you obv are unaware that there will be no more US politics once Mr Wonderful's Candyland is in full effect on Jan. 20. Just gumballs, pretzels and rivers of bourbon.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 17 October 2008 13:17 (seventeen years ago)

there will be no more US politics once Mr Wonderful's Candyland is in full effect

― collardio gelatinous, Friday, 17 October 2008 15:32 (seventeen years ago)

just saying, there's not likely to be the same volume of discussion post-US elections, at least for a while. Anyway, I'd rather have discussion of important shit that I care about be on the main page, rather than a sub-board that I'll forget to read. Isn't the point of sub-boards to be for fun/hobbies/specialized stuff?

btw i would support I Love Candyland.

I have no problem with any number of sub-boards for talking about stupid crap but prefer not to have interesting subjects siphoned away from ILE.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 19 October 2008 23:12 (seventeen years ago)

if we could siphon the UK politics regulars away from ILE but keep the politics talk that'd be totes awesome

― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 October 2008 23:14 (seventeen years ago)

Personally, I usually use Site New Answers, but I can see this being a concern to those who don't.

I was going to use "humourless tankie miserablist" the other week, but its too much truth for me to handle!

― calzino, Sunday, 9 September 2018 14:40 (seven years ago)

I am septical about the EU but I've never been that into tanks tbh, except Panzer General is a quality game and doesn't have any of that awful political correctness gone mad like what pom worries about sometimes

― WmC, Sunday, 9 September 2018 15:26 (seven years ago)

I feel politically homeless. I want about 90% of the UK political classes to be liquidated. But all I could find in the last Labour manifesto was boring stuff about bringing PFI's back in house, re-nationalising utilities and public transport, not being such dicks to the poor and disabled etc...

― calzino, Sunday, 9 September 2018 15:28 (seven years ago)

having a bunch of parallel US politics threads would be a drag - same articles getting posted/discussed in multiple places. the dem party direction one is distinct enough, because they're not in govt and don't drive most of the main politics news etc.

― got the scuba tube blowin' like a snork (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 9 September 2018 17:03 (seven years ago)

Yeah, I agree. I think the solution is for trump to not be president. He dominates us politics, therefore he dominates the us politics thread. This’ll work itself out.

― Karl Malone, Sunday, 9 September 2018 17:07 (seven years ago)

famous last words

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 9 September 2018 17:41 (seven years ago)

dammit hoos that was like my one hopeful moment in the last 25 years

― Karl Malone, Sunday, 9 September 2018 17:53 (seven years ago)

It's like this and like that and like this and uh

― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:16 (seven years ago)

So how do we actually get a politics board? I don't know the decision process for new boards. Do we need to do a new poll?

― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:27 (seven years ago)

Amendment required. Needs ratification from 2/3rds of thread posters plus gabbnebb

― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:29 (seven years ago)

Is there a real answer to this? The thread revive has convinced me it is a good idea.

― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:38 (seven years ago)

not since the 69th amendment passed which states, and i quote: "Congress fhall make no Lawe in contradiction to the Notion of 'Fuck Gabbneb'" which the ilx board lawyers have interpreted to mean that we don't need his approval bc fuck gabbneb.

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:39 (seven years ago)

xp the "real answer" is in the poll numbers above

― sleeve, Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:42 (seven years ago)

So there needs to be a new poll?

― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:43 (seven years ago)

sigh

― sleeve, Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:44 (seven years ago)

Sigh, all you want, I'm doing it

― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 9 September 2018 18:46 (seven years ago)

this is gonna rule

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 10 September 2018 16:02 (seven years ago)

New poll is here btw:

I Love Politics board redux - this time with feeling!

Surprisingly large amount of people turning up on the new thread to vote no. This may be a much less popular idea than I thought.

― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:08 (seven years ago)

you keep complaining that ppl voted no

seems a strange thing to keep doing idk

― NAGL usa (darraghmac), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:24 (seven years ago)

i mean you put no as an option

― NAGL usa (darraghmac), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:25 (seven years ago)

I don't read it as complaining so much as an enduring surprise.

― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:33 (seven years ago)

yeah, I'm not complaining, just surprised. Honestly don't have a big stake in the result, but I started the poll because it seemed like there were a bunch of people wanting a forum, but no one taking the steps to make it happen.

― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:41 (seven years ago)

and there's a load of people votimg no, right

― NAGL usa (darraghmac), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:41 (seven years ago)

as far as I can tell, may just be that no is more vocal

― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 10 September 2018 16:45 (seven years ago)

I've googled the lyrics to the song and I'm looking for the perfect line to copy and paste next.
Do I go with the next one in the song?
Or do I jam an ILX inside joke into another line that doesn't follow, thereby excusing its out of place appearance?
