Around Azeroth: A spirited debate
[1. General] [Obama]: My fellow Alliance, the time has come for a change. The past eight years have left our lands a bankrupt, smoking ruin. We need to shrink the income gap in professions, end the conflict in Alterac Valley, and reduce taxes at the Auction House. Together, we can bring hope back to Stormwind!
[1. General] [Mcain]: While I respect my fellow senator and the enthusiasm he's generated in trade chat lately, I must point out a few things. First off, he only has 30 days /played. Where was he when we were raiding Molten Core and grinding battlegrounds 18 hours a day? He was a councilman in Lordaeron. He has no experience dealing with the Horde, and he has no experience with the problems of real Azerothians. If you elect me, I'll make the changes that really matter, like getting the hunter standing behind me named "Pewpewdontqq" banned.
[Obama] whispers: wtf, way to pander to the blizz fanbois. when'd you join the RP police?
[Mcain] whispers: qq more noob.
[Obama] has challenged [Mcain] to a duel.
(Thanks to Kalaran on Stonemaul, who took the best pic he could of this crowded debate hall.)
Do you have any unusual World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see it on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wowinsider.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. We prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more sunsets or screenshots with massive UIs.

"...and reduce taxes at the Auction House."
Liberals raise taxes not lower them. They have the wrong candidate speaking this.

Everyone promises lower taxes, in general Dems raise taxes for the upper brackets and do some lesser increases to the lower brackets. Reps generally drop taxes all around or do nothing to the lower bracket and lower them for the upper brackets.

hey WoWInsider, could you please STOP with any and all political references or discussions. Some of us don't want to have that crap associated with WoW.

WoW is full of real world references and satire. Why is it suddenly horrible when players contribute to this?

And some of us do, so we appear to be at an impasse.
Here's an idea: What if WoW insider catered to both types of people by having some articles be politics free, and some having political references in them?
Compromise? No, you say, that's crazy talk.
Every time I see people complain about politics and wow it's the same single minded idiocy - I don't like politics in my wow, so no one should, so it should not exist. The sheer hubris of thinking that your preferences should dictate what a wow news site covers is mind boggling.
