The description of this group is:

"The Aquarian Age promises eventual Peace on Earth, but whether we make the transition smoothly or have to endure the temporal threat of global imperialism will depend upon how each of us treats the other; in this Forum, we celebrate our cultural, national, and spiritual diversity as we each unite in Love and Light"

However, I've noticed that, rather than being about unity or celebrating differences, this is a volatile political forum (most people being conservative with a small handful of liberals and moderates) where people argue and fight rather than find common ground. I'm just curious as to how the thread got to have this description and name when it doesn't really quite fit what actually happens here. "Love and Light" don't really happen here, from the threads I've read.

I'm just curious as to whether this would ever be turned into a separate political thread and if there ever would be a more "love and light" group of threads? I'm not trying to criticize or anything; I'm just curious because I come here hoping for that at times but don't find it, and was just curious as to whether the political parts would ever be put in their own thread, if that makes sense.

I would be more interested in the group of threads as originally described in the forum description, if it ever comes to exist, so if that happens, I'd be glad to know!

Again, not trying to criticize or anything; just that the forum description is a bit misleading and again, just curious to know if that kind of thread would ever exist, as I'd be interested in going there.

Like the world outside, this Forum is a work in progress. But you can count the conservatives at LL on one hand. Almost everyone at LL is a liberal, but they just choose not to participate in political discussion, which makes it about balanced at GU2.

the forum is in progression?

I have wondered why with the additions, that GU was never changed (descriptor)

Call it what it is. Unity has never been on the menu.

Unity is on the menu, as it is in the world, and through discussion we can blur dividing lines of dissension over time.
