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.
