Backroom synopsis
The definition/synopsis of the backroom. Shouldn't this be changed because the backroom is primarily used for threads regarding political issues and world affairs? Maybe it's time for it to be changed? Just a suggestion..Talk with other members of the community about anything.

Re: Backroom synopsis
There is no need as you can actually talk about anything there, the fact politics gets talked about most is beside the point.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

here,here....prolly the most sensible thing uve ever saidThere is no need as you can actually talk about anything there, the fact politics gets talked about most is beside the point.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
"The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."
Re: Backroom synopsis
You can talk about anything in the Backroom, not only politics. But you can only discuss politics in Backroom.
Please stop spamming the Watchtower without reason; make suggestions and comment them, do not comment other posters or place similar, unproductive posts. Thank you.

Re: Backroom synopsis
Maybe there should be a disclaimer for the backroom, 'discussion may become heated'. For new members the difference between the two rooms is a bit vague, the frontroom is 'talk about anything' and the backroom is 'off topic'.
Re: Backroom synopsis
Sorry, having only been here 2 weeks I haven't seen any threads in the backroom that did not discuss politics... And I have frequently heard the backroom described as a room of politics (see Frontroom and Backroom thread) and the point of a synopsis is to generally describe the place.. POLITICS, it's filled with politics..
Re: Backroom synopsis
Why not have a political forum where th MP s of the future can debate. just an idea.

Re: Backroom synopsis
You better look again. For instance what does 12 days and a wake up have to do with politics or how about the one called Ser Clegane or even Apocalypse now? The majority of threads there are political because thats the only place your allowed or supposed to talk politics. Clear now?BTW, it's strange that internet discussions on Vietnam started by Americans tend to fixate on their wounded pride over a war that ended before many were born rather than reflect on the current state of that country. I know little about the area, but it seems to be following China along a path of reform and economic development. Let's move along, people.What I find amusing is the innocent threads that get hijacked into political threads.
