Politics, Religion and the Economy Section

[llbbl]

how about adding a section like this under off topic section? Worth it??

What should we call it?

[ECA]

Spam site, Rant area, Duck and shoot, Arguments R Us, propaganda room...

THINK you and I debate NOW???
IMHO, I dont think it would be that good, unless you can Close it down FAST.

[llbbl]

debate is good. why would we want to shut it down if people are discussing?

[neuroking]

I like the idea. Lump it all in one room. Rock out!

[ECA]

because..
there are THOSE that would argue, not debate...That what they are TOLD is RIGHT, and everything ELSE is wrong, no matter if you could PROVE the world round, they KNOW its flat.

Those people who are not willing to change their mind and look at the situation from a different perspective are called stubborn morons. I don't care or value the opinion of stubborn morons. You have believe that most people are ethical to some degree and worth the effort of discussing these sorts of issues.

Its not debate for the sake of debate, its debate for the sake of instutional change.

The first step to making a difference is to give a s.h.i.t. about what happens to the world around you.

Agreed.

As I point out to all the relious groups that come to my door...
I have looked into many beliefs/religions, and comes down to 1 thought... BE NICE to each other.
they all agree, but I dont see them getting together on this thought.

[llbbl]

look we don't do much discussing of religion on here that is not what I am purposing. I just added it in because it is a very highly debateable topic.

[ECA]

Add it if you wish...
But add 1 addendum... DEBATE only... No charactor assasinations, no degradation or personal comments...

And aline about some types of proof, would be incouraged.

Logan, you do know that religous debates almost always turn into a screaming match and that religion should not be part of this site. The worst thing that would happen to this site is if you offend the highest contributers and they stop comming here with idea, opions, and knowledge.

[ECA]

Political, Might work...
But religion, IS a heated discussion with many(to many).
And they are NOT open minded people(most of them).
Even the Jewish faith, has its debates with other Jewish..
and you know what the MAIN debate is about...History. Thats all.

I will stick to my middle of the road, "Be NICE to each other" comment. And wait to see how many get to it.

[Ioman]

I am not too hot on this idea guys. These sorts of debates always get people worked up. I would rather keep things in a lighter context.

[ECA]

I would say,
If he wishes to monitor it, and Referee(with no bias).. Let him try.
All he can do is get ppl Pissed off, and Spam the site. Maybe even over run the site so no one can get access.
I would just be readt to SHUT it down, and close it up tight.

[llbbl]

ok how about just politics and the economy ? forget religion.

if barely anyone posts in the Linux and Car Audio section I doubt that they would particpate in a discussion on the existance of God.

[ECA]

Politics= a bird thats infested.

Politics would be ok by me.
Economy fine..
