You can never win an argument over Religion or Politics.

Under the heading 'Shooting the Breeze' it states Discuss anything & everything in here!
What does that actually mean? I am confused.

Heavyweight issues introduced by trolls seems to be the problem.

A thread that has a title that spans the entire subject is usually fairly indicative that it's going to go nowhere.

Eg "Carbon tax" - just another tax. Global warming isn't true. Julia Gillard is unusual among politicians in that things she has done are not consistent with thing she has said.

"NBN" - seems quite expensive - doesn't it? Rural people should be able to illegally torrent movies for free like city people do.

"Immigrants" - the new ones are different to the old ones but overall plane better than boat. Overall, anyone that is here now should be allowed to stay because they are already here but anyone that isn't here now should not be allowed to come because they're not here yet.

"Islam" - they cover their faces sometimes and they seem to put their countries so close to American air bases.

"Population" - we're being over run. It's probably the immigrants, the muslims, the coal users and broadband users (see four topics above)

Maybe every thread should be automatically accompanied by a link to the wikipedia search results for its title.

Meaningless light hearted banter akin to cartoon dialogue.
Issues up for discussion must not exceed the intelligence quotient of the average primary student.
Subjects that initiate questionable thinking are banned.

So where did the "Palestinian NBN vs the Catholic Labor party thread go"? I was looking forward to offering my balanced and sensible viewpoints on that topic

Personally I like reading about politics and current events - and particularly amongst a group of people who are connected by something other than their political leanings. Get a much broader range of opinions that way.
Agree that anything racist or hate mongering should go.
Don't see why religion has to be on the banned list though - it can be discussed in a polite and reasonable fashion.

Sorry Laurie my bad


BUT I still submit that juvenile-minded idiot trolls coming online just to stir sh!t again and again and again is worse than adults starting a discussion concerning the big 3 (religion, politics, and the other one whatever it is.... oh yeah, brands of beer.)

But lets face it there they're still a bunch of goat ****ers.... and there their backward religion or terrorist run country don't support a westernized world where equality between men and women and what ever the religion is respected. .

Would they support a country where grammar is respected?

Yes yes, that is it. We can make fun of the heavy weight issues. Deride them with our self absorbed wit. But remember, no meaningful debate.

Probably chemtrails. Wake up.

Starting to feel like we live in commy China and Comrade Laurie is controlling censorship.

I think it's Russia that has Comrades. China has Tongzhi.

fair enough laurie. but how about some consistency? the obama thread is far more heated and personal than the israel one, and yet it hasn't been pulled.

At least these guy's discuss and not hide behind the red thumb button or send sick PM's like someone.

I would have to ask like really who reads the fine print?
