A discussion had been commenced on the following thread, on the benefits or otherwise, of imposing restrictions on Swearing, general abuse & specifically Racial abuse.
http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1391231458/allThat thread is now locked, as Politicians Suck wasn't appropriate section, for this discussion.
Let me say, that it is my opinion & others, that these issues, like everything, have Rules & limits.
Like Television, there are rules & limits on what can be said & done on website forums!
If you transgress TV rules & limitations, then you will be beeped or not go to air.
Similarly, there are rules & limitations, which are backed by the legal system, for most areas of life.
Forums, whether Political or general MUST also have Rules & Limitations or they will finally go the way of some that I have seen in the US & here in OZ, where they are either closed or slowly run down & only used by the very few and they are generally people most of us won't/don't want to communicate with.
Unfortunately Politics in general, has degenerated over time, with Politicians & Political party's (ALL OF THEM) doing anything, simply to get elected and in the interim they are destroying Politics, the Economy & what the general Public can aspire to.
If OZ Politics & the OZ Economy, is to survive, then we need a serious discussion on what our limitations are to be, because without proper limits, our Politics & Economy will simply collapse.
AND, a similar process will apply to this OzPolitic site!
I, for one, would prefer a civilized discussion, both in Politics & here, at this forum!
What do you think and what do you propose should be our accepted limits?
