The only reason for something like this is for people to complain. Do you enjoy listening to people bitch about stuff? I come on the the forum/computer to try avoid all that shit.

I hear what you are saying however the Government owning GM and making decisions on what car you can and can't buy in the future is not something you can avoid if you don't care about the issue. Furthermore it is being censored by the mainstream media and to some degree this forum by means of controlling political talk. I'm quite certain that a political forum can work if strict rules are put in place that would ban people from that particular section who can't discuss issues properly. If you let the area of the forum where only forum members who have over 500 posts be able to post...and then simply ban them from the area temporarily if they go too far or call any member names..Then it will be very easily moderated.. You avoid people creating forum names just to post something bad since they need 500 posts before they can post 1 bad thing.. It would be a simple way to moderate and people like you who do not want to participate can easily avoid reading that section... America is a free country for now and you have the power to not read what you don't want to read.. At the moment, we forum members do not have the power to say what we want to say on this subject which is censoring talk and is hurting all of us in the long run... I understand that Tran is admin and he can rule this forum as he wants..However it is only logical that with a changing of the guard at GM from a privately owned company to one owned by the Government...The rules should change here as well to allow for differing views which directly go against what the Obama administration are doing in regards to their new company GM...
