I occasionally like to debate politics and religion with folks in a polite manner, that being said I think this it is best to keep the forum about boats and the lighter side of life.
I love to debate politics, and try to do so in a polite manner as well. . . . . But I think the atmosphere here is much friendlier without it.

I think I have it all straight - so to summerize the boat I:

Step one-remove engine bay compartment plugs and replace with pool noodles
Step two-fog clean out plugs with anti-freeze
Step three-Grease Stripper pole with Yamaha Grease Z
Step four-Replace iridium plugs with nerf balls

I get the strange feeling that this is one of those posts that is going to make me go to the beginning of the thread again without finding answers related to why it exists. . .

Oh come on! Everyone knows that the climate is changing due to the terra-forming by the aliens that have been probing Tom Cruise for years...right? :winkingthumbsup":rolleyes::astronaut:

What about the existential angst caused by the schrodinger's cat like state of my scupper?

Is that religion or politics?

Just wanted to give a shoutout to @Administrative and other voting members of the forum for not allowing politics to come into our daily discussions. This has been my only enjoyable outlet over the past year and half were I can go and it not be right in your face. I thank you for that! [flag]

But it really is self regulating...you make one section for these topics and if you don't wanna see it, you don't have to go there.

Like the boats and babes section...I'm sure some are offended by it but they just don't have to go there.

As a former moderator on the other site, I can tell you that even though the Politics forum was by request only, it caused a lot of division and dissension that caused quite a few members to leave. We are not interested in having even 1 member leave because of political offense. There are so many places on the internet to talk politics if one wants, so I remain pleased that we stick to boats and other non-divisive topics on jetboaters.net. The difference with the Boats and Babes section is that all the people that choose to subscribe and participate usually agree on what is being posted. Therefore, there is nothing to argue.
