Now that the current affairs section is dead

[Rita_Poon]

Spoken like a typical authoritarian. Cleanse the forum of posters you don't like. Sad to see the current affairs section go(hope it comes back). I enjoyed it. Despite the post above I was subject to far more vitriol & name calling and than I ever gave out. Still, I thought most posters tried to keep it somewhat civil. We are all big boys and girls, I think most can put up with some off colour remarks and heated exchange of views.

Quite.

What does everyone think of Caitlin Morans new book where she compares men to dogs and everyone thinks she's really got to the hub of masculinity and what it's like to be a man?

I'd bite her not inconsiderable arse.

Considering the CA puzzle, maybe if we map/plot posters using post to risk degrees we can identify the issues and the pilars of the community to allow appropriate interventions. Obviously will need a lot of work but something like this?

Bungle is a low risk????

After watching the pathetic performance of Tory grifter Mercer last night on Question Time, it’s times like this we are going to miss the CA forum.

What does Donald think of the closing of the CA thread?

Has anyone read this George Osborne email then?…

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Is this thread acting as a temporary Current Affairs forum?

Just seen it there. Oh to be a fly on the wall if that wedding goes ahead. Mainly so I can have a sly fly turd on the cake.

Questioning the integrity of all 22 women who claimed Trump sexually assaulted them and then talking about "deep state" isn't an "exchange of views" nor "big boy." It's just delusional misogyny.

Fair, to call me a danger. I'm a lot like the character in the story. It's hard to get me to snap, but once I do, it's on. I take no prisoners, and no holds are barred.

I miss it as a great aggregator of information I would not normally have read with an addition of some very knowledgeable and/or funny posters and their contributions

On some occasions the conversation flow and the opinions given were fascinating, on some topics it never really got past a bunch of people agreeing with each other mixed with one or two arseholes (IMO) who had different opinions but couldn't debate them at all or in fairness the very few who were ran out of town before the debate could expand a bit

Cheers to the many contributors who expanded my knowledge on various things

My hand slipped when I was adding you, mate.

I'm owning it. There were a few first-rate fracas.
