Politics and religion. Both subjects should be taboo there.

Well, I don't have a problem with the General Discussion. However, reading other people's posts, and having amassed such a neat list of German words and phrases, I will offer up an alternative:

Heldenkeller, or Heroe's Cellar. Where we can gather and talk about how WE'D run the war!

Don't get me wrong, I love a good German name, but we already have die BierKneipe.

How about Canteen, wasn't that big thing over here during WWII?

Perhaps I should have posted a poll on what to include in the poll. I already left out some good ones.

I like the TZ ZONE, just like that, in spelling, now that rings out to me. Now if there are other names, why don't we do a poll every 6-8 months or so, a little change can be good and fun!!

Or, once the 10 days run out, just redo the poll with the names mentioned from the replies, that also works for me except Barracks, thats a negative for that one, only, just saying....

Topics, ruling things out before they even started, I don't know, most here seem reasonable, say Tuesday night every 1st of the month, the "light is on" in the TZ zone for political/religious discussion at this time ONLY, MODS WILL BE IN THE ROOM WITH WHIPS AND CHAINS!!! and mean it!!

Thoughts ?

cheers, thanks for the poll JIM!!

Tom
