Are there rules that state political and religious cannot be posted here?

Your attempt to call me a racist fails badly. Abortion is something that everyone has an opinion on. I've never said, in my life, that if you don't believe the way I do you are going to hell. If you are going to hell it's totally your life choices and nothing posted by anyone here or in the other forum has an impact on that.

If you feel I need to have an image change you should probably post that in the other forum, it doesn't belong here.

Eh, I could just ignore it if I wanted to. I'm not generally a fan of locking threads. Though I kind of agree that this one fails to entertain.

I imported them specifically for you.

Virtually every one of them match your persona.

As always, I'm thrilled that you disapprove. :thumb:

I don't disapprove. I couldn't have less respect for people like you. To waste my time disapproving of them is a waste of my time.

If you are going for disapproval you may have just failed.

How much "time" did it take you to post this?

I'd say lying and claiming that I established any prefix "standard" is a rather obvious character flaw. Being delusional is merely a personal failure beyond your control.

I'm betting you are lying, but who knows.

But I think Frazod's poll was a question of changing the protocol to stop the relatively recent trend of posters who know better but have chosen to move their religious or politics topics out into the Lounge.

Since there really isn't any reason for a DC regular to accidentally post a political thread in the Lounge, any thread that shows up in the Lounge is deliberately there.

In some cases it might be a noob who made a mistake. In some cases, it's a major news story that is a rightful exception.

But in the last few cases, it's clearly a deliberate effort by a few to broaden the visibility of their political or religious topic. It's deliberate choices like that that IMO could be subject to extra punishment at the discretion of the Mod.
