Political Discussions banned - again!

I am sorry to those who oppose this, but Rudder clearly stated to me that he feels that these political discussions are very unpleasent, because people flame each others contries in one way or another, and they lead to nothing good! He thinks it ruins the atmosphere, and I believe he is right, since his country is one of the "flamed" ones.

So I am now announcing that political discussions - as - "USA goes in Iraq for oil" and other "accusations" should be avoided, otherwise, the moderators will strike (at least I will)

I must say that I looked at the discussions in the "Israel/Hezbollah" topic in a perspective where I wanted to see different opinions, but then again, none of MY OWN countries were "accused" or anything, so I believe I was a kind of neutral guy who enjoyed while other people paid with feeling bad. Sorry.

So - I believe we can discuss global problems and such, such as the Israel Hezbollah topic SHOULD have been, but once we started on "What happens if the US gets involved?" the topic went in the hot, not wished zone!

I hope on your understanding!

Good call, Sunny. I thought that because they were banned in the first place, we should not have been discussing them anyway.

Anyway, appologies for what little I said if it offended anyone.

HIC, I demand that you bludgeon yourself with a rock until your mental status returns to the level of a rapist who calls back to apologise! Your use of elaborate language and words is making me uneasy. Although, I am somewhat relieved to see that your punctuation remains shit-based.

Good.

BTW, this should include all discussions of "what might have happened" and stuff like that. Those are total crap too.

Yeah - people were just way too biased to have a discussion going.

To a degree it can be good, but some people take it to far, then other exasperate the situation. So ok i agree with you.

"Should you ever feel agony for the loss of your Brothers due to enemy guns, bear through it with a stern smile and let your enemy know that you will get into combat soon enough. His judgement cannot be avoided!

Should your charge falter under heavy resistence, roar your devotion in His name and amount whatever strength you have left at one enemy point and crush it utterly! Let the enemy feel your pain by turning their's into agony!

Should you lay beaten and dying on the field, laugh with pride for even in death our enemies will fear us, leave them with a scar that will haunt them till the time of their retribution!" - Chaplain Valorus

It's just way too difficult to control them, so we can not have them!

Fair enough reason. I don't know why this one was allowed in the first place, says I

...to be honest...that's retarded. ^_^ Look at other forums and see if they've banned political discussions...it's what makes the world go 'round. But, some people do take it too far, and that's your job, Sunny, to keep them in check...but banning the whole thing just seems stupid to me, I'm not calling you stupid, I'm calling the idea stupid. I personally love political discussions, they get heated and give you great experience for later life, as well as open your mind to different points of view. It's when they get personal that's the problem, that's when they should be closed...

Meh, ah well...I'll have to find somewhere else to practice my debates for that wretched class. B)

It's not just up to me. I was asked to do it by quite a few memebers, and democracy works here!

They're pointless because:

1) The arguments are coming from teenagers who think they know everything when in reality they know very little and are a world away from what they are talking about.

2) The arguments are totally biased, and thus no one gets anywhere. It ends up people saying the exact same stuff the entire time, just taking up space saying nothing new.

1. Well if we're talking about pointless, then we might as well ban forums, because the world's not perfect and arguments need to take place for us to get somewhere.

2. And teenagers are as good a source for info as any, being somewhat sharper than older individuals and less forgetful. You can't say our points of views aren't worth anything because of our age.

Oh, and by the way, let's ban this topic because it's becoming an argument...clearly it won't get us anywhere if conflict changes opinions. ^_^

Most argumentative things evolve into extensions of the ego (my own notoriously)
especialy when people will research just to be able to join in an argument.

Next time something crops up people should perhaps reason from a purely logical standpoint in order to cut the issue short. I know i'll try. :mellow:

It's pointless because it's constent reiteration. It gets no-where. You could call it spam.

Exactly. ^_^ Since when have TWC members not spammed? And no it's not spam as the responses are well thought out replies. I for one learned some interesting information from Jack about the United States, it's beneficial. Now...however, if you're going to call real world discussions spam and lotr and halo discussions intelligent conversations...well, I'm just going to laugh at you. This is the modern day, this is reality, and if you can't hack it...well just ball up in your imaginative bubble and stay there. :P

Your responses tend to not be an relation to what someone said, you ignore them and start on something else. I didn't call it spam, and i didn't say anything else. Also no-one says anything crediable derek, i would back up alot of what i say, but i don't have the time nor the patience to search for it, on dial up. And yeah, our real world discussion that we're apperently having, is that of two 12 year olds argueing, about which stick is straighter. Espicially you, Derek. You throw around alot of wild claims.
