Please disallow polical and religious discussion.

[smoth]

we have a community here with enough differences and enough people here who have conflicting views. Is this really the place for such discussion, does it really belong here? I can understand threads like OMG SOMEONE BLEW UP THE EIFFEL TOWER or ROME JUST SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTED. Those would be pretty major events.

Honestly though, political and religious views are highly personal and often times things that are highly inflammatory in nature. They have little to do with spring projects, playing them or developing them. While I can understand that these discussions can be civil I do not believe they will often be. There are more appropriate sites for this sort of banter and raging, does it really belong here?

P.S. Not trolling

[Gota]

Was anyone actually raging in the religion thread?

[smoth]

no and perhaps it should stop on that note?

[Gota]

But why Miss out on the fun part?

Smoth, enough with the jokes, were having a serious discussion here.

[smoth]

*yawn* oh look still trolling.

If you don't want to discuss such topics here, then don't. Personally I don't even read 99% of Offtopic.

[smoth]

I can but I wanted to ask/put the notion forward and see how people felt.

I believe political discussion should be allowed as political opinions are usually formed for specific reasons and solid debates can take place quite easily. However, religious discussion will often root to a simple matter of personal belief where argument for reason becomes a lot harder to express, if present at all. Not to mention, it usually ends up becoming a personal quote war between two or three people rather than discussion about the religion in question itself.

[smoth]

someone once told me "you cannot discuss religion"

[Wombat]

as long as politicians change all the time, together with politics i think there is some point in discussion. but religion never changes so i dont really know whats the point of wasting time (and no, pope talking about condoms doesnt count)

and seriously, both topics are boring and every person here talks same shit all the time...

[Gota]

And this thread is even sillier...it tried to discuss discussing about religion...

[Beherith]

I dont look into these threads often, even less post in them. Religion and politics are best discussed in a pub with friends. There is no beer on tap here.

[smoth]

why the move to OT? I thought it was kinda a forum/community issue?

[Beherith]

Post just about everything that isn't directly related to Spring here!
That said, I dont mind these threads, if people want to participate in them, there is nothing stopping them.

[smoth]

ah apologies, I was under the impression community concerns went there as well.

Seems my request is pretty well shot down then. However, I wanted to ask all the same.

[Gota]

Off topic is where all the rotting garbage and puke drain to...ergo there are many threads about politics and religion.

Either you not allow the lonely creep to jerk off to fetishes and he goes out and rapes a woman or you let him channel his perverted desires onto himself, same with this.

So your analogy states that if you cant discuss it on the forums, youre gonna kill someone? Quite the skewed analogy. Try using a car analogy, they work best.
