As a moderator, I read FYM pretty often (maybe even more than I'd like), and I'm noticing that as of late, almost every new topic has to do with George W. Bush and/or Iraq. Now, this is a damn important issue, as I'm sure you all know. But, to paraphrase a favorite poster of mine: "Every time someone posts a new topic about Iraq, an FYM moderator gets a migraine. Please, think of the Poptarts."
So, I am issuing to all of you The FYM Challenge. The rules are simple. To post in THIS thread, your post must:
--be informative in nature
--be polite and non-random (yes, this means you, deathy)
--NOT deal with Iraq or George W. Bush
--preferably deal with an issue that sees little exposure in FYM (or anywhere else for that matter)
Topics might include: non-Iraq related foriegn policy issues; commentary on governments other than American, Western European, or Australian; social issues that don't get a lot of press; up-and-coming environmental topics; topics about anthropology or sociobiology...the list goes on and on.
I have a vision of this thread becoming a sort of catch-all thread for overlooked issues, from which individual threads for overlooked issues can spring.
So. Let's see what y'all can come up with.
