Posters take note: This board was created in the wake of the Sep. 11, 2001 attacks on America, as a place for posters to discuss America's ongoing war against terrorism. Since then, the board has evolved into a forum for discussing American politics and social issues. Please note that this board is generally unmonitored, but we will police the most egregious cases of abuse.
