Activist Forum?

I may be alone with this suggestion...but doesn't it sound like a good idea to have a General Activist Forum so all the peeps at the Political Forum can translate into real time their efforts to make change with issues outside of the Drug Legalization context?
That was a long sentence huh?

If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison

Is the political forum overcrowded with activism threads?

No.
And if any poked their heads up I imagine they'd be quickly bashed, berated and derailed.
Which is why it'd be nice to have a place to invite people to different events and get to discuss activism in general.
Some place away from the bickering and endless debate aspect of politics.
But whatever it's just an idea.

Politics is inseparable from activism. They are opinions up for debate. If you have a point, back it up.
If there is no debate allowed, what is the purpose of activism?

oh what-the-fuck-ever it was just a suggestion... I wasn't saying for NO debate...just a different focus.
Sheesh. who woulda thunk there'd be more drama and snazzy insults in here than the Pol. Forums?

Shroomerites are more protective of the Shroomery than of the country. Which is as it should be. All politics is local.
If you can't take the heat go to one of the nonsense forums. They'll LOVE you there.
