Isnt' there already a bunch of debate in the election thread? Wouldn't it be best to argue there, instead of 2,3, or 4 threads?

As for the arguing in One Israel, it had degenerated to a great extent to mere accusations, while questions of policy were actually being discussed on the election thread. It seems as Harmony, with their discussion of party platforms (oh no, we need a position

) might like some peace in their headquarters as well.

the election will end eventually, political debate will go on.

Panag · October 5, 2003, 16:43

no name calling like hitler should also be included , ......

no spam true PM's , no name calling true PM's , ....

violaters should be punished , .....

but when one looks at this , one can see that this thread is not about political debate , its cause HT cant stand a joke about a smilie that has a gun , .....

a political forum is always welcome , but not when it suits only one member , ..... imagine each and every member opens a forumthread everytime he or she does not like it , ......

this is all blocking the main goal , " playing " the game , .....

I'd like to point out I started none of this today. Can't anyone keep panag under control?

yaroslav · October 5, 2003, 17:14

I declare that this thread is for policital debate for anyone that wants it, because there is no thread where political debate is not, in some ways, spam. In this thread it is not spam, I think.

Look, if the One Israel party wishes to contact the Harmony Party, do it here or by Private Message. Stop violating the individual Party threads or Harmony Party will ignore your Party wishes as well.

You're a Christian? And Msulim? What would your fellow party members have to say about that? Maybe you should join the Harmony Party which tolerates all religions.

But it's the truth isn't it? Your party couldn't come up with rebuttals to our points so you simply said "we no longer wish to hear such things" and showed us the door

Can we agree to keep each individual Party's internal political discussions in only thread per party? That way we won't have 10-15 political threads open at once.

Another possible idea for keeping the number of threads down would be to create a thread called the news stand, where all News papers would be published : idea :

Dont we allready have such a thread?
"Yediot Aharonot - Israelian Newspaper"

H Tower · October 6, 2003, 18:38

Yes, but that's newspaper specific, what will happen if One Israel decides to publish a newspaper themselves? Will wen end up with a thread for each individual paper?

PinkyGen · October 6, 2003, 19:58

I assume each paper would have their own thread.

And since I have the floor, I will comment on the proposed Centre party platform. Even though Panag's DL said it, I must agree. I found the platform almost identitical to One Israel's platform, minus the schools. Are platform can be found on the first page of the One Israel thread.
