This forum is here for the members to talk about politics and political issues. The topics don't have to relate to BDSM but they certainly can. From the President of the U.S. to the policies of the local City Council-it's all good. Whatever country, whatever governing body-you can post about it here.

This forum is not here for flaming. This means that insults against a poster or his views won't be tolerated at all. You can debate a view all you want, but a direct insult may result in a forum banning. An example of the difference follows:

Example: "Democrats suck!" Is not appropriate at any time. "I think what the democrats did with ______ is wrong because of _____" Is appropriate.

Civil discussion is expected. Remember that these are people you are dealing with and not just words on a screen. If the best you have to offer is swearing or slander than move on to a new topic.

Respect folks. It all comes down to respecting your fellow human beings' right to have an opinion. We are all involved in BDSM in some way or we wouldn't be here and one of the biggest tenets of our lifestyle is respect. Respect from a submissive to a dominant, respect of a submissive's limits from a dominant, and respect that your kink might not be my kink and that's okay. If we can have that kind of respect for each other BDSM-wise than we can certainly have it everywhere else.

Enjoy.
