I have seen it work on other car forums, so could we try a froum where people talk about current affairs etc, thing in the news etc. Just try it if it doesnt work then stop it.

what a "reality room "


you are aware the net is ment to be a place of fun yeah


you wanna talk current affairs go to the pub like all the other old farts


i fear that current affairs will be a room of moaning and how society has gone down hill and back whe they was a lad things where different blah blah blah


i think a room for dicusing ford stuff would be good as no fooker on here seems to care about fords let alone actualy drive one

LOl not realy Ginge, u seem to have the post where you moaning how shit it is living here Personally i enjoy it

Yeah u can always talk to people out and about/down the pub etc. But why not on here aswell? Its good to talk about current affairs of whats happening int hw world imo. Or maybe im in the minority of who actually cares what goes on around the country and rest of the world

what about a pikey student room where you can all talk about the perfect beans on toast,,,,, on pay day you can talk about the cheese garnish and then you can moan about not having any cash OR the student fees





i say we keep the net a place of humor,,,,,,, when i wanna get depressed ill just look for my credit card statements or my gas bill

if i wanna know about currant affairs ill read the yellow sign board the police put up informing me of the latest muging/stabbing ect

TBH i think it would be top idea, lets give it a months trial and see how it goes.

Yes this is general forum, but if we have dedicated it will only be people who care about it looking in the room, and will prompt more posts etc

News/Current affairs sounds good.

Politics at 3am anyone?

I'd volunteer to mod it if it comes to fruition.

Honestly it will be shit.

It will be full of posts about "Fucking asylum seekers, they killed a kitten"

and

"Let them hang"

We've already established that 80% of the forum just believe what The Sun or Daily Mail tells them to think. And a specific forum would only result in shit.

The problem is how many people would change their views. Theres too many twats on here who think they're right with their jingoistic/racist views. (Though some will try and convince you that its being "patriotic" to cuss down all the non white people in this country)

Just look at the crap that was posted after the London bombings. 90% of the posts wanted all Muslims executed as "the Koran tells you to kill non muslims" !

you forgot the " im not racist BUT" comment then they add the " i cant be racist as the my cleaner is a honest imagrant and hes always been loyal"


think i will come under this classing aswell but rhys you cant educate pork


itsa good idea in priciple as people WILL gain knowlege and a little understanding IF they listen to the arguments and make there desision from there


but you know that most car people LIKE MYSELF aint educated in stuff like this and thing the french ll wear blue and white stripped tops and all germans are nazis

but actually i would like the room to educat my self on actual things that i may not understand cause the sun dont explain it enough

think that you and pon would be good mods for the room imo too
