Hey, this topic should be moved to the Critical Thinking section, there seems to be a lot of it going on in this thread!
Seriously though, I don't think it's such a good idea to bring such a section into this environment...politics, animal rights, abortion (yes even that), gay rights, racism, etc...are not present here to much extent, nor should they be.
Let this be a haven of sorts for those that just want to come and talk about the things we
enjoy, not things that we don't!
What is a forum for? I perceive it to be a place that has a general theme of discussion about one type of hobby or subject of interest.
This is a Game Boy Advance Emulation forum, and from what I've seen, it stays pretty close to that subject (due in no small part to the great efforts of the Staff *SMOOCH*), and, it attracts and keeps those whose interests lie in art, graphic design, photography, gaming in general, comic books, movies, etc...
These are all entertainment issues, things that the biggest contributers to the forum have a common interest in.
Do we really need to have a section of the forum that is going to cause hate and discontent? How many of you who followed the cruddybuddy business a while back, were greatly upset by the flaming and the strong words and opinions of that whole mess? I was very upset that the forum I had come to enjoy spending a great deal of the little free time I have, had been ripped apart and changed. Openly discussing politics alone would ruin this forum...few things in the world can cause hate and discontent like politics, except maybe discussions of religion.
So please, I ask all of you to think about what a 'Critical Thinking' section could do. If you like the way it is now, then leave it be...we're having fun here...
