I will post occasionally in the Dog House, if there is a topic that I just can't leave alone. I usually just scan the headings, yawn, and move on. I am interested to a certain point in politics, but a little bit goes a long way with me. Discussing it in great detail for months on end just puts me to sleep.
I agree with others, this a pet-related site. Sure, it's nice to have the General and Dog House categories, because while pets are big part of lives, they are not our whole lives. We also like to talk about our families, jobs, etc. But the base of this site is animals, not politics. I think that is why you don't see a huge interest in detailed political debate. Just like people registered on political website might mention their pets in a thread or two in the general section, but you're not going to see anything like we have here concerning pets. Just different interests, different focus.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
