It's certainly better in that regard than some other forums I could mention that are exclusively either liberal or conservative, or exclusively pro-war or anti-war.
At least we have a good mixture here, although the number of people who can express their opinion in an intelligent and coherent way isn't all that high.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

I agree, the main reason I visit the OT forum is for current news...So the OT forum does serve a purpose.

The best thing is that late afternoon my time, I'm reading about events here, that will be in the next morning's paper. And the funny thing is that the newpaper article doesn't provide much new information.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
