    Default a thread about election day is merged into a Barack thread? this is getting ridiculous!!

    I'm quite dismayed to see a fun thread about ELECTION DAY news has been merged into a thread called EVERYTHING ABOUT OBAMA??!!??

    Methinks some of our mods have nothing better to do than make subjective decisions that, at least in this example, are just plain wrong.

    For real...election day is about like....100 different people. 100 different people != Obama.

    I thought merging all the topics about Obama into one thread was a bit silly as well. That topic is HUGE now.

    I also thought the thread I started earlier about "Would you vote for Obama if he WAS a muslim?" was worthy of philosophical discussion about religeon and what it means to the principles upon which the US was founded was truly worthy of it's own thread, and it was merged into the main thread about elections and lost in the jumble.

    I guess I'm not in harmony with what a thread in the POLITICAL MUDPIT should be.

    I've asked the staff and mods to be a bit more conservative with their merging, but alas, sometimes I guess it just don't matter.
    Yes, I hate the fact RTW is out and I still have a Japanese title. Come on now admins- let's get with the program.

    Obama is an intergalactic terrorist/infiltrator from the planet-killing academies on Alpha Centauri IV.

    A vote for Bar'akaleth Oo'tama is a vote for the systematic destruction of time-space.

    I dont really see the problem. I mean this years Election anyway ultimately boils down to ...

    Obama is the next President:
    Vote Yes
    Vote No
