    Suggestion for Discussing Cartoons and Memes

    Political Cartoons and Memes is dedicated to posting cartoons and memes. And the general rule is no discussion is allowed there. Naturally, some are provocative and demand discussion.

    So copy the image to a new thread and discuss.

    Just right click on the image you want to discuss, select "copy image address" and paste it between [img] tags (or however you want to do it) in a new thread. Then discuss.
    To be conservative, then, is to prefer the familiar to the unknown, to prefer the tried to the untried, fact to mystery, the actual to the possible, the limited to the unbounded, the near to the distant, the sufficient to the superabundant, the convenient to the perfect, present laughter to utopian bliss. ― Michael Joseph Oakeshott, Rationalism in Politics and Other Essays

    Right, too easy.

    Once or twice I accidentally commented there- I use the What's Knew list and click on what is interesting. Sometimes when I get to a specific post, I forget the subforum it is in.

    I have made the mistake of commenting in the cartoons and memes section. I can't see half of the pics that are in there anyways, and some of them that I can see are gross. So I don't peruse it very often. Sometimes when I do, I instantly regret it. Too bad because there are some good ones mixed in.
    We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.

    I don't think commenting is a real problem, it used to happen so rarely. Lately, it's become bickering. Thanks @Chris for this helpful suggestion.

    Right, there've always been the occasional comment here and there but now it's turning into arguing/bickering and detracting from the cartoon and meme theme of the thread.

    That's what's been happening.

    If I may? If you want to offer a comment about something that pisses you off in the political cartoon section, do your call out in The Hole. That's what The Hole was created for.

    That works, too.

    We'd hate to have to ban people from that thread.
