What issues or topics should be discussed in General Discussion group?

[kentuck]

Is it politics only? Is it only current events?

Is this topic not acceptable for General Discussion? Is it OK to talk about the "demographics"?

What do you think should be the parameters for discussion in General Discussion??

1. I once had a thread about a kid w/cancer moved from here to the Lounge.

Got me.

:shrug:

2. I think if the thread DOESN'T turn into a massive flame war then it gets moved the lounge.

3. Why not just leave it to the mods? nt

4. Rather than say what should be in the Lounge, I think what *shouldn't* be in the Lounge

And that is what we call GD.


Current events stories seem appropriate.

5. Discussing Generals

Such as, who would win in a fight: General Patton or General Sherman?



Or General Sherman vs. the General Sherman?



Or the General Sherman vs. the Washington Generals?

7. "Obama suxs" seems to work well

9. As opposed to GD-P's "Obama Teh RULEEEZ!!1"

:shrug:

8. Best bet is just to post and let the mods sort it out.

It's one of those questions that'll drive you crazy, and then the answer will change, anyhow.

Not worth bothering about.

10. Politics, current events, debates about social issues, things that are related

to DU'ers and their lives, but aren't Lounge-type stuff?

11. I've wondered the same myself... seems many topics could be "teleported" to the LOUNGE... perhaps

renaming this "CURRENT NEWS EVENTS" (rather than "general discussion")?
