It appears that perhaps possibly maybe the quality of material in the DUmpster is not what some wish it to be, thus this poll.
Skins's island is after all a political web-site, just like conservativecave.
However, just as with conservativecave, Skins's island also caters to a lesser variety of non-political interests; hobbies, automotive repair, electronic games, recipes, well-being and health, computers, whatnot.
I myself--and this is just a personal thing, worth no more than the opinion of any other member here--always thought that observing the primitives in all that they do, not just their politics, gives an insight into why the primitives are primitives.
The old maxim about "understanding thy enemy."
By examining campfires from the cooking and baking forum, for example, one better realizes how limited are the cerebral capacities of the primitives in solving problems, in making do, in being imaginative and innovative, in thinking outside the box--something that says more for the primitives' politics than for their cooking.
Of all the campfires I myself load into the boat and bring over here from Skins's island, a causal count shows that only circa one-third of them are overtly politically-related, while the others (superficially) betray no politics at all.
There is a threefold reason for this; (a) other members here haul over campfires of an obvious political nature, meaning that 75-80% of all threads in the DUmpster are in fact politically-related, (b) many here are already intimately acquainted with the politics of the primitives anyway, and (c) because of paragraphs (4), (5), and (6) above.
A stew with just beef might be a rather bland stew, I think.
One needs some potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, salt, pepper, paprika, corn, peas, broccoli, asparagus, and even a dose of chocolate, in a stew to make it interesting.
But of course, it's all up to what the audience of the DUmpster thinks, and wants.

I vote no. Some of the most entertaining examples of their insanity can come from threads that may seem less than political. Besides, they make everything political and it's rather fun to see them twist a cooking and baking thread into a MIHOP/LIHOP one.

However would we know what Pam is up to if you restrict it to politics. Does she ever post in political threads?

That, madam, is my own thought; how perfectly illustrative of the politics of the primitives, in what the greenbriar primitive posts, in all of her "non-political" delusions and bouncies and tales and whinings and carryings-on.

No...any idiocy needs to be highlighted and laughed at.
-
Abso-expletive deleted-lutely not. The DUmpster is for the DUmp, not one segregated part of the DUmp.

The other thing too neighbor is that everything in their life is related to their political stupidity.
I don`t mean just choosing politically correct things to eat for example or clothes free from animal production but when they have to ask how to wipe their ass after a crap it reflects on their ability to do for themselves which is a by product of leftisim.

When conservativecave first got underway 25 months ago, I was posting campfires from Skins's island in the cooking, automotive, health, and sports forums here--and in fact there's still tons of old primitive campfires in those forums here, but nothing from the past year or so--because I wasn't sure what I should do.
Posting primitive campfires in other forums here seemed to be okay with those moderators of those forums, but there were problems, particularly with drawing traffic, both from members and from lurkers.
In the first place, there are members of conservativecave who don't care for the DUmpster and the primitives, for perfecty good reasons; it's a matter of tastes and interests, just as franksolich is indifferent about dead fish or Japanese art.
It's not a big deal, but if it in the least discourages traffic to other forums, it troubles me.
In the second place, lurkers, generally primitives with limited cerebral capacities, tend to come here only to see what's being said about them in the DUmpster, blissfully unaware that there [used to be much said] about them in other forums here.
Since conservativecave exists for illumination of the ignorant, such lurking primitives were missing out on a great deal of light, not being adventurous enough to explore these other forums.
So I decided (for myself; what other members do, they are free to do) it was just best to jam all campfires from Skins's island here, so as to avoid inconveniencing our valued and esteemed members here who aren't into the primitives, and to ensure that the lurking primitives get blindly illuminated about their various stupidities and ridiculousness.

This poll by the way is meant to accompany other polls about the DUmpster, to wit:
"Are we too mean to the primitives on Skins's island?"
http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,40292.0.html
"Do we 'snoop' too much on the primitives of Skins's island?"
http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,40397.0.html
"Are there any primitives that we like, or at least respect?"
http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,40562.0.html
"Do we 'sabotage' Skins's island?"
http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,40663.0.html
These are all residing in the DUmping Ground, a subsidiary forum of the DUmpster.
The DUmpster is similar with the "general circulation" division of a library, while the DUmping Ground is similar with the "reference" section of the same library.
One is appalled, even disheartened, that very few lurking primitives are aware of the DUmping Ground, which possesses a wealth of information.
-
No.
The other sections have brought us some great literary posting from the likes of Judi Lynn, the Hugo lover, in LBN, PD in the Lounge and Iverglas, the Canadian disbarred atty, in the Gungeon. (I really need to get her some more exposure)
-
No.
Anything from there is fair game. I must admit, though, I rarely read the stuff from the cooking forums and all that, but others seem to enjoy it, and that's what this site and forum are all about.

This is probably a good place to point out the purpose of the other subsidiary forum of the DUmpster, the "Mind-Numbing Stupidity" sub-forum.
This second, lesser-known, sub-forum is why we now have five moderators, instead of just two, for the DUmpster as a whole; it was just too much for two.
The "Mind-Numbing Stupidity" forum has two purposes: (a) for DUmpster threads where a primitive actually comes over here from Skins's island and gets "engaged" in a "discussion" (which alas happens not nearly enough), and (b) for Democrat and liberal primitivities found on other islands on the internet (i.e., non-Skins's island material).

Exactly right. Their 9-11 posts and anything they have to say about business or economics shows how little they know about the real world.
Where would we be without listening to Bobo the hobo moaning about how nobody wants to give her a new home or the subway kitty and her hilarious rants about whatever.

Talking ghosts of psychic dead roosters?

Are you kidding? We'd miss out on such a rich variety of insanity and anger. Besides, everything is political to them.

Oh heck NO!!!
Some of the threads from over there make me feel like a rocket scientist!!! :evillaugh: (the latest one being how to clean grease off of the walls... :whatever: )
As long as the threads are appropriately titled and labeled from the Dump...there should be no problem with anyone here knowing what the thread is about....and no reason to complain about it being here.
If not interested...don't read it and let those who are ...read it and wonder... :confused:

Which brings up another topic, which might as well be discussed here.
The DUmpster is the only forum here exempt from the rule that the thread-title must match the title of a news-article, when a news-article's being posted.
I dunno how we got away with this exemption, but I'm happy we did; I know I myself would be less than enthusiastic about posting, if I couldn't "customize" my headlines to more-accurately reflect what the primitives are saying.
Does anyone here think the headlines tend to be misleading?
There was a time--long long ago now--that I used to resurrect old campfires, without mentioning they were old campfires, but I stopped that when I accidentally fooled the always-astute Tanker here, who gently reminded me such was bad manners (but I already knew that; I had just jumped to the conclusion that everybody and anybody would immeditately recognize it as an old campfire.....and was wrong).
Now, when resurrecting or updating old campfires, I modify the title so as to point out it's an update or resurrection.

Of course not. The condition of being a democrat infects the entire being. These creatures exhibit grotesque and entertaining characteristics in every aspect of their lives, not just their view of politics. A forum restricted to only political topics from the DUmp would deprive itself of some of the funniest exchanges in all of DUmmydom. Look at the weirdest examples of democrat freakitude currently available: Pam Dawson, poor, stupid Beth Ferrari, and the monstrous, massive, Vagisil-slathered Lardass of Las Vegas. Hardly a political thought in the whole bunch, unless you consider Pam's prospective slaveholder status a political comment. All forums at the DUmp are potential goldmines of hilarious depravity, though all of them go through dry spells. The past week or so has been tough throughout the DUmp, but have faith - they can't control themselves for long, and sanity will never be on the horizon for the DUmmies.

Not only NO..HELL NO!!!

I try to keep to the original title if it is practical but sometimes for length or clarity it just isn`t.
They are idiots in every way so the titles they use can be misleading as heck.
The other thing that crops up is a banal thread title by the "cream of the crop" as it comes to stupidity (Stinky,greenbriar..) might not grab much attention without a heads up that it is them.
It puts it into perspective better.

From watching traffic patterns here, I can guarantee that "Stinky the Clown" or "the sparkling husband primitive" in a thread title draws like crazy.
"Atman" or "Pedro Picasso," or "WilliamPitt" or "the Bostonian Drunkard," used to, but not any more, and so it's best to leave those names out of a thread title.
"Skinner" or "my fellow alum Skins" or "Skins" has always been a good eye-grabber, in a headline.

Wow, 100% say no.
I agree, there is plenty of interesting & revealing crap that they post which I would say is not only entertaining but enlightening as to the liberal mindset.

And that is what we would lose if we restricted it to politics. We would miss their hypocrisy (Mari's guy at the door, anyone?), their complaints about workings, their attempts to scam the welfare/disability office, and so many other facets that make them DUmmies rather than just Democrats.

votes hell no...laughter is good for the soul and DU is a treasure trove of laughter. :rotf:
-
I voted no also. You have to show where their beliefs are rooted and the fertile fantasy world it all grows in.
-
It looks like somebody doesn't like the idea of a unanimous vote. We have a "yes" and a "maybe" vote there now.

I think the mod(s) added those votes to throw us for a loop. To see if it could cause us to change our minds. Not likely.
