Yeah, political debates are the dumbest things on the internet. In real life you can have political debates, but on the internet, not really. People begin believing that their opinions are facts, and that everyone else's opinions are just garbage and aren't worth a damned thing. Soon, everyone begins to get pissed off, and the debate has become a flame-fest about people's countries. Arguments are nice to have on forums, well, not "nice" but you get what I'm saying, but some topics should definately be kept out. Do you think it'd be a good idea to start having debates about religion? Probably not, way too touchy of a subject. So things such as politics, religion, and extremely personal matters should probably be kept away. |

Obviously, though, if it's something as blatant as that, it really wouldn't effect very many people at all. However, it's things like the attitude of the person that can come across, and not so much that their country is better then yours, but when they act like every person in their country is a better man or woman then every person in your country. And such things like that. Hell, if someone said that the US was just a bunch of trailer parks, I wouldn't care, as it's just such a stupid statement. |

And I agree with this! Come on! It's way too difficult to discuss real life, modern, conflicts and political things on these forums! Because of what everyone else said! I like discussing politics, but it is of no good. I also learnt some thing, but still - some people felt offended - then I believe I should be no egoist. No one listens. Everyone has his/her own fixed sight on reality, conflicts, politics, and on forums at least, it is hard to get your opinion changed, because you can't really know what's true and what's pure tricks to make an opinion sound better - like in a competition! I think it's all right to not have such debates HERE, while you can feel free to do it wherever else you want. Democracy has spoken, and so have I! |

Why are you on the ground Sunny?
Sorry i couldn't resisit. :ph43r: Anyway i don't have anything against political discussions. If we could debate more responsible then i don't see why we should ban it but if banning keeps the peace then im all for it. |

I also think they COULD be there, but it is way too hard to keep the discussions going without a flame-war.....in a way at least. They are hard to control in my humble opinion! |

And what if some people care just a bit about these freaking forums and want to get the most out of them, Alex? Take a chill pill yourself, and have some arguments - this is a discussion forum - we discuss this matter - it's the point of these "freaking forums", so if you do not wish to discuss this matter, then don't post in it! |

LOL...enough said. Here's what I think: Our two most popular forums at the moment are Off Topic and The Center of Science. The Center of Science is basically built for political discussions, so you might as well ban that. And Off topic is built for spam, so you might as well ban that. And Lachlan, you're just upset because I don't rip on the US like you do. |

Ok theres no point continueing to argue on it, you can have debates but when they become either about countries or political we stop them, you can still debate views of each other to your hearts content just not polotical things =p go on argue about hair colour i dare you =p |
"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 | |

Haha, but you guys want to get rid of political discussions because they're argumentive and pointless. Well, since we're all just little kids according to Lachlan, then every topic is the same. Meh...I still think this is an incredibly stupid idea. |

No, Derek we're getting rid of political arguements, because, they aren't arguements, they're flame fests. Unable to accept that, is behaving like a little kid. |

Nobody was insulted in that debate personally...well...I was, but that's beside the point. If people can't hack their countries being dissed on then that's being immature, but arguing your point of view isn't immature Lachlan...calling one of your best internet friends a little kid is immature.
