Title change for Politics subforum

This subforum is currently titled "Religion, Politics and World Events." However, the main topic of discussion is politics, so I think the title should begin with the word "politics."

Possible titles
  • Politics, Religion, and World Events
  • Politics, Society, and Religion
  • Politics, Society, and World Events
Any other ideas?

Re: Title change for Politics subforum

What difference does it make? It's for all 3 of those topics.

Re: Title change for Politics subforum

I think it makes sense to lead with the main topic. Religion isn't discussed much.

If you're running a store called "Wine and Craft Beer," should more than 95% of your stock be beer?

How about "Controversial Shit"?

Seems fitting

"Re-tweet and repeat" forum.

Re: Title change for Politics subforum

I'm not saying that this is a big deal. I'm just making a suggestion. A title beginning with the word "politics" would be more fitting.

Re: Title change for Politics subforum

I would keep politics and religion (subjects that are prone to generate controversy and contentious exchanges) in the same sub-forum, as now, but move non-political, non-religious world events to the Other forum. That's kind of how it is already unofficially, but the separation is not clear.

I tend to agree. A good title would be "Politics, Social Issues, and Religion."

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm thinking whenever I peruse that particular forum. Fuck, it's depressing.

Re: Title change for Politics subforum

Waitasec,people want the subforum title to change from Religion & Politics into Politics & Religion because we talk about Politics more than Religion?

And this is on a DVDTalk website that talks more about Blu-rays, streaming, UHD 4K, and even Politics & Religion than DVDs?

I personally think the title is fine but I'll personally keep listening to all of your thoughts on this, thanks.

Can't argue with that logic, damn.

Yeah, you make good sense, and are on to something here. It's time to bring back the DVD culture! Ringo Starr and ELO have new albums coming out, no reason we can't bring back the past too.

** off to search for DVDs about Air Compressors! **

And don't forget The Last Jedi, which is either the pinnacle of all human achievement or an abomination that will bring about the apocalypse.

Or at least while the Rise of Skywalker thread was still open...
