Anyone know of a good "talk politics" forum?

[Treebore]

I mean a place where they have to talk rationally, no personal insults, etc...

So Circus MAximus is out.

Anyone know of one? Where Obama and McCAin supporters actually talk to each other in a civil manner?

If so I would like a link.

I don't think any place like that exists anywhere in reality.

Non-existent.

 

[DaveStebbins]

Yup, sounds like a fantasy land to me too.

Not going to happen for two key reasons:

(1) On the internet, everyone is jerks.
(2) Politics and rationality aren't friends.

Reaper Message Board (Powered by Invision Power Board) has what you seek.

Once you join, you can request to have access to "Beekeepers" subforum.
Politeness and family friendliness is still required in the forum but politics and such are allowed.

The Straight Dope - Fighting Ignorance Since 1973

Moderated fairly strongly. Read the post-its before posting to any forum. If you want to get insulting, personal or just plain obnoxious, post to The BBQ Pit (forum), where that sort of thing is allowed.

Just be forewarned that idiots and trolls don't tend to last long before being blasted to bits in the pit, or banned for their own behavior.

Of course, being obstructed from being personal with other posters doesn't mean that people aren't mean, vindictive, petty and stark raving lunatics about politics, religion and other things they disagree with.

BTW: I use the same name there as here.

Edit: Moderated for behavior, not for language. Swear to your heart's content.

Hee hee! I *almost* want to sig that.

CM can be manageable, if you use the ignore feature liberally. About once a year though you'll have to un-ignore everyone, though, because you'll have ignored almost everyone by then.
