Politics?

Is there a rule against posting thoughts on world politics? I have some thoughts/rants but want to follow the rules.

Don't be such a WIMP. Go ahead and post away. Best to leave those thoughts to PMs or direct email. I have sent a few PMs that contained political views, but I was comfortable with sending them to specific individuals. Other than my sick sense of humour, I treat most conversations like they were happening around the Thanksgiving table with all the family being there. In other words no Guns, Religion, Politics. Now talking about my Good Buddy ole' HersheyBar76 trying to excavate the largest chocholate chip without using his hands brings tears to the eyes of those sitting at the table.

In general I consider the no politics to be an excellent rule. But considering how passionate some folks can get about their watches, mabye politics is safer!

Ditto. You don't want to incur the wrath of James.
