There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

""I was talking to some engineers the other day and I told them that I was always pretty good at selling used cars, and I still am," Ecclestone, 84, is quoted in an interview published in French by the AFP news agency.
"But I told them they have given me a crap product to sell," he insisted."
...
"As far as Ecclestone is concerned, however, the issue of 'selling' F1 to the public is simple.
"All people want is to be entertained," he said. "We are, first and foremost, an entertainment company. But today, when Lewis (Hamilton) starts a race, we already know he will win by 20 seconds.""
hmmm...

"US investment company RSE Ventures is said to be teaming up with Qatar to take a major investment in F1, according to a report by the Financial Times on Tuesday.
The report suggests that the two parties want to buy 35.5 percent of F1 from the CVC Group for a price of $7-8 billion – and that the ultimate aim is for Qatar to own the whole of F1. However, it adds that no formal bid has been made, and due diligence is still being undertaken."
Qatar!!
Now that is truly scary!!!
Then again, given that the source article is via SPEED and FOX it seems to be as liberal with the truth as usual.
