Why post all of this Political stuff on here?

[Ghosthunter]

There are always going to be some controversial issues out there, and people should be allowed to discuss them, as long as the tone remains civil. What shouldn't be allowed is, for the discussion to get out of hand -- flame wars and offensive behaviour is what has to be stopped, not discussing controversial issues/politics/religion/science/life/the universe, etc. (as long as people don't abuse the forums for propaganda, and spamming their beliefs).

Just my 2c.

I agree..except i have seen many flame wars get out of hand..

why not try the idea of createing a sub section for political/religion

what harm is that or in at least trying it out for a while to see what happens?

I understand that people want to comment on some news story and stuff, because it makes them feel better.. but I think that whatever you post… there is going to be someone around, to post against whatever you are posting.. so what good does all of that do? It’s kind of like shaving.. then expecting someone to put gasoline on your face right afterwards… and lighting the match.. Maybe an idea is to post your views to vent, and have no one reply to your post? I don't know.. I guess, I don't like to see all my Speedguide pals get angry at each other..

I especially appreciate your last sentence in this posting I don't care to see that happen either, however, politics always was, and always will be a highly controversial subject...even as some of the replies to you here have shown. I rarely state an opinion in either political or religious threads, however, even when I do follow either one or the other, and it turns into nothing but a flame throwing field..the value is lost...and I simply do not return to it..might save you a bit of grief
