    During the months of Oct.-Nov of an election year please allow the members of the forum to talk about politics as some members may not keep up w/what each candidate is for or against. After reading this please post your opinion as whether you agree or disagree. Thanks

    Please dont allow Politics to distract us from next seasons superbowl team. If you want to go talk politics on the internet I am sure you can find much better places to do that.

    I don't think this one is going to fly. Politics, like religion and other highly sensitive subjects really don't have a place here. These topics have been known to cause mutiny amongst friends. There are plenty of places for you to engage in such discussions. I'm not sure where Robdog stands on this, but I would suggest if you wish to engage in such discussions, start up a group on FB or such but please do not connect it directly to the forum in any public area.

    Politics are local / national and this forum has a global reach. As has been said this is not the place as other sites are better suited for it. I mean really, how much do you want to hear my opinions on the windmill farm going up across the line fence from my back yard.

    Please no politics or religion. Lets keep the discussion blinders on. Once allowed it would open a can that cannot be resealed. Lets try to remain as a sports forum.

    P.S.
    I really like windmills, and what is a link and where do I get one for SIGS?

    Photobucket works. You'll have to set up an account if you don't have one already. Modify your image to meet the criteria Rob has given us, save the file to Photobucket, get the direct link, copy that url, go to your sig page here on the forum, click to insert a graphic, when it asks for the url of your graphic, paste in the url for the image on Photobucket, and it should appear in your sig line.

    Please no politics!!!! A sports forum is no place for politics. If you want to talk politics join a chat room on FOX or CNN where they discuss politics 24/7.

    Hoist the mainsail mates. Where heading toward bad weather. Reverse course helmsman. Mr. San go aloft and check the wind. Mr. Boxer call all hands on deck. Mr.Ivo, please go below and check on the kitten. It's going to be a rough voyage out of this Political Sea, but I'm strong to the finish couse I eats me spinach...
