    This State of the Union Response is making me thirsty!

    I see why it caused so much chatter on twitter.

    So there was a GOP response and a Tea Party response? You know, TP, man up and break away from the GOP if you're serious about things.

    FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

    Here it is - those of you who think this is a place for political talk are getting your wish. With a few rules and only a few rules. Please follow them.

    *No board, just a thread. Lots of reasons, not going into them for the sake of brevity and time. So it all goes here. If you want to participate, I guess you have to keep up.

    *Very limited rules FOR THIS THREAD ONLY. Have at each other all you want. Call each other mo-fos, dumbfucks, whatever you want. If you can't take it, I strongly advise you to stay away. PMs to any of us that say, "So and so is being mean to me," from this thread will not be treated kindly. You know how some people are here - deal with them at your own risk.

    *NO OUTING. OF ANY KIND. DO NOT USE PREVIOUS NAMES A POSTER MAY HAVE HAD. AT ALL.

    *No spillage. Don't talk about The Fight Club. No references in any other thread on the board. "You proved on the politics thread you were a dumbass," is the kind of thing I'm talking about here. Keep it contained.

    *NO PICTURES. AT ALL. Again, reasons too numerous to list. Just don't do it. We have a handful of posters who take delight in finding silly pictures to post on the board. DO NOT do it on this thread. NO PICTURES

    *Since we now have a place to discuss politics, get rid of any politically charged avatars and sigs you have. No need for them now. People who want nothing to do with this thread or politics don't want to deal with that on the rest of the board.

    This thread will probably be shut down the Friday after the election. Don't be the asshole who gets it all shut down beforehand. We have people on both sides who are so so so so so over the top it is ridiculous. Even with the limited rules here, try to control yourself.

    Finally, before you can post here, you MUST send me a PM that says "I have read the rules for the politics thread and accept them." That simple. I don't want any surprises later. If you are one of the 3-4 people I have blocked, send the PM to Headbutt and he will alert me. That is all your PM needs to say. Don't offer thoughts, ideas, suggestions. I realize this seems rather silly but there is a reason. We want to be sure everyone understands fully what they're getting into with this. We don't want you to say oh, cool, politics! And then come running to us when someone calls you a stupid mo-fo. So please just deal with it (as many of you have already - thanks)

    I'm certain some will complain that this isn't good enough yada yada yada. Nothing we do would be good enough for a handful, so we won't worry about that. You want to talk politics here? Deal with this setup. This isn't just my doing. We've all talked about it and agreed to give this a try. If you find this too constrictive, find another place to talk politics.

    Now have at it. Questions to me in posts will not be answered because I don't plan to hang around this thread.

    Hahahah so Headbutt went back today and changed something.

    Can't tell what, though. But that is awesome.
