    Why the hell is the only piece of media that offers real insight about the upcoming presidential election made aimed that 12-14 year olds? Seriously, I learned more about Obama and Romney's platforms from an hour of Nick News than I did from three months of junk mail and TV commercials for both sides.

    Because politics is only annoyingly difficult if you think about it too much.

    If your only source for information is the junk mail and tv commercials, then I'm really not surprised. The information's out there, but the media (and the media branch of each campaign) isn't trying to give you their platform

    Jon Stewart is the only source of news on politics I need. Along with my Intercultural Communications teacher. They're fun.

    Why can't these threads be in the Discussion Board?

    Because then it would be Discussion Board Politics and that wouldn't be Spam Zone Politics.

    If I had the power, I'd move this thread to spite the OP.

    This is only part of the issue we have with site activity. It doesn't NEED to be in the Spam Zone. It can be, but really, this is why we have a freaking Discussion Board.

    ^this. Spam isn't the only thing on the internet. There's a lot of useful info out there and it isn't that hard to find. I don't even live in the US and I probably know more about the politics going on than most citizens.

    And this. Seriously. I WANT MY POST COUNT TO BE HIGHER BUT ALL OF THE INTELLIGENT THREADS HAVE SUDDENLY MOVED TO THE SPAM ZONE! B|

    Jonathon Albert "The Impaler" Sharkey has my vote for 2020.

    THE FACTS
    • He is a professional wrestler by day, vampire by night.
    • He attempted to elope with a 16yr old girl, a wannabe vamp.
    • His policy on crime is as follows: "Certain criminals, instead of being put in jail, they should be brutally tortured and impaled... Upon them being found guilty of their crimes. I'll beat them, torture them, dismember them and decapitate them."
    • He was investigated by the US Secret Service after threatening to impale George W. Bush.
    One day, this vamp-man shall rule the viking states...
