Since the mods aren't on here long enough to delete all of the partisan threads or ban users like RealityTime and peacup, I'm declaring this forum as a political battleground. Apparently the staff either doesn't have the resources or doesn't care about this forum to clean it up.
Therefore, I'm going to keep posting partisan crap until you either delete all of the political threads and ban the political posters or shut down the entire forum. It is clear that this place has turned to shit and is nothing more than a sideshow at this point.
The usual suspects can PM me if they still want to go elsewhere for some REAL, non-partisan discussion.
here's my vote for JUNE % san diego elections
Prop 28 http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/propositions/28/title-summary.htm
Reforming Legislator's term limits
Under Current law legislators can not serve more than 6 years in the Assembly House and 8 years in the Senate House.
This law would allow them to serve 12 years total.
A legislator could serve 12 years in one house.
This would improve the experience and long term projects of the legislative branch.
I vote YES http://ca.lwv.org/action/prop1206/prop28.html
Proposition B
san diego city has a ballet measure to move retirement for public employees into private account
I vote NO

a political forum sounds contradictoray to me, heres why: OWS wants change, change comes by government, but if we talk about government officials isnt that a political forum, and so what? I think we should continue talking about politics as they really are, for we the people are getting to be smarter than the politicians.
yes I agree,. mods need to moderate or the dipshts and assholes run rampant. this is a factor when anonymous posting
Is there a good Occupy forum anyone can point to,. I looked previously and there are several, just looking for an active forum that is MODERATED!
It's kind of funny to see so many people on this site calling for more moderation, when Occupy in general is very hostile toward law enforcement. Isn't anarchy what most people here want? Then why are a bunch of anarchists begging for more cops?
Most OWS protesters I meet are more progressive left leaning than specifically anarchist. I think Anarchy is to undefined for most people while many see it simply as a violent movement (incorrectly)
I find your post indeterminate
huh?
I can't predict what you will post
Is that a bad thing? Does it even matter whether I am predictable?
That would be "non-deterministic"
You confuse anarchy with chaos (civil disorder) perhaps,. anarchy is not giving some, power over others. egalitarianism. In a public forum, that has a subject, it is common practice to have post ON TOPIC,. if not they are removed. this is a social convention or community standard and nothing to do with LAW enforcement.
We do not need post about political parties,. both are tools of the 1%,. the left (center right) and the right hand of the banksters and the military-corporate control structures.
We're not all (or even majority) Anarchists. I don't want OWS to just be a more political version of 4chan. We have enough chans as it is. I want this site to be a place where collaboration, planning, and action can take place.
Take a look at some of the comments on this post to see the sad reality of what people around here think about cops:
