I would suggest having more options on one's profile to pick from.

For example there should be more options besides male or female.

Examples:

Male/straight
Female/straight
Hermaphrodite
Transgender female trapped in male body
Transgender male trapped in female body
Male/gay
Female/lesibian
Male/bestiality
Female/beatiality
Male/bisexual
Female/biesexual
Male/A-sexual
Female/A-sexual

The political leaning options need to be expanded.

Examples:

Neoconservative
Reactionary
Socialist hiding behind liberalism
Socialist hiding behind progressivism
independent ( Lower case i indicating your not a member of the Independent Party.)

How about Republican pretending to be libertarian?

Can't even keep from baiting in the feedback thread?

I would put a rule in place that a political affiliation test needs to be given to forum posters. and the results need to be in their profile before they are allowed to post. there are way to many who claim to be one thing and after just a few post it is realized either they don't know what the philosophy of the political affiliation they chose is or they are just BSing

What's the matter? Can't discriminate accurately without them?
 
I will never understand why people put so much importance of a person's lean.

It is because they cannot handle arguing what people actually say, so they try and argue against a label, usually with straw men.

The gender options, just trying to be PC.

As for the the political leaning options, reactionary is one missing, it would be right of extremely conservative.
Neoconservatives are not conservatives, Neoconservatives have more in common with liberals than conservatives.

There are too many who identify as being liberal or progressive but from their post they seem to be something else.

I didn't check to see if there's a Democrat or Republican option for those who are locked in step with those political parties. If the Democrats were to call for the rule of law and called for all illegal aliens being rounded up and deported and those who were for amnesty are now going to be against amnesty.They are out there. There are goose stepping Democrats and Republicans in each party that have the party dictate what their political ideology will be.
 
Instead of Male-Asexual you could just put "married"

Shouldn't this be in the Basement Dungeon section, or w/e section deals with bathroom jokes? It's clearly "humor" and not a serious suggestion to improve the Forum. :confused:

a) You'd never know before they posted

b) You'd never qualify as a Libertarian.

Calling it humor is very generous.

I know that feeling. I grew up around Steeler and Red Wing fans.

I'm serious about the political leaning options of adding reactionary and neoconservative.

I've noticed there are more than a few DP members from around the world. A conservative in Russia would be a socialist in America.
European right wing / left wing is different from American right wing / left wing.

I also known life long progressives, some were Democrats and some were Republicans. The people who all of a sudden over the past ten or so years who are now identify as being progressives aren't progressives. Maybe they should be called neoprogressives ?

and you are a prime example you call your self a moderate but is it very clear you are a far left liberal

And how is it me calling out the BS of some on the forums does not make me a libertarian

That's because your definition of a "far left" is everybody to the left of you

And how is it me calling out the BS of some on the forums does not make me a libertarian

Everything you post is straight from Republican Talking Points 101. That makes you not a libertarian.

Well, if that was the case why didn't you list some well-considered serious options? The point of making a suggestion is to identify an issue and then provide options to improve.

I could care less if a person is male or female, gay or straight, black or white....I am only concerned with how intelligently and rationally they present their points. Those identifiers need only come up if the member wants to identify themselves in an explanation for diametrically opposing a particular position. Political leanings are helpful, but you'd need to be a lot clearer on the options you'd present for overseas members.

We are perfectly fine with the options in our profiles. Closing this.
