Mine, i''ve always been puzzled by what ends up in ''hangout''.. many things, including discussions of hair would seem better in other forums....but they are allowed here by the administrators.
you do bring up a good point: what belongs in hangout? i think people post here because they know it will be viewed. perhaps the administrators can provide some guideance.
peace, movie zomibe

Sorry Kenny.. if I sounded harsh.
MZ.. I guess that when I am in these other threads I do not feel as on the defense or on the offense, so I figure things that have to do with politics seem to ''take away'' from the good nature of other threads. For exmaple, In the Around the World forum, you and I rarely agree and to be honest sometimes, I ..... do not... care for your opinions, but out here on the other boards, although we do not always agree, the string is not pulled so tight and to me your a great forum sister from california that loves orange.. and I think that is what makes it so great to be able to remove the politics to another place.

I won''t comment on what is posted in Hangout. (So far, so good, as far as I am concerned!)
I am happy that "Around the World" is reserved for politics (even if only by custom, not by law). Like Mine, I know that the discussion there does not have to be all sunlight and roses (although I feel strongly that it should not be a place where personal insults are traded.)
I see, "Around the World" as a place where people can seriously disagree on issues without putting each other down, as a place where debate can take place.
My only gripe (if such a strong word can be used) is that there is a photography thead there. The obsessive-compulsive in me wants to get it out of there and put it in the proper place where it fits, so that everything is in its category (and the peas are not touching the corn).
PS-This might be a good time to thank Irina and Leonid for allowing us to discuss politics anywhere on Pricescope. They do not need a forum for political discussion and do it out of generosity to us so that those of us who enjoy it may have fun here. I often end up getting very close to my political opponents. It''s a strange phenomenon, but deep discussions can make people close, even when they disagree (as long as it doesn''t devolve into personal insults). Thanks, Irina and Leonid!

I always thought around the world was where most political discussions took place, so I can see where MINE was coming from. I don''t think there are any hard or fast rules, but that''s my take on it. Hangout is more for non confrontational discussions, whereas poiltical discussions get more heated?? Could be wrong, won''t be the first time, Lol!!!

Again: no argument from me. I am going over to play in Around the World and I hope kenny joins us.

i understand, Mine....and you won''t be surprised that in the around the world forum i do not care for your opinions most of the time either. however, i wish you could see my background i''ve set on my computer as you''d be in orange heaven!
you raised a valid point regarding appropriate posting. i know that ''definitions'' for forums exist but most of us don''t abide by them. and most of us don''t go to look at those definitions prior to making a post....much less a newbie doing so. for instance, your posting re a book in around the world. should that have been in the library? and many of us have posted real estate topics in hangout that perhaps might have been better posted in family and home.
i guess that for me it does not appear very clear that hangout is off limits for any topic.

Me three!!! I wasn't sure anyone else was going to answer, but I just feel so incredibly sad and angry about the current direction of the country. The current administration truly frightens me.

Ok, so my feelings about Bush are this: If you voted for him, dont complain about the war in Iraq which is way off track. (Osama?) High gas prices, the economy, the potential for terrorist attacks, etc... etc... etc.... http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=64326
