***READ: NO POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS***

The only people who aren't willing to listen to a well thought out argument are idiots who are mired in their own stubbornness. I happen to be a mild conservative, and one of my best friends is a raging liberal. Over the course of our friendship, he's changed my views on certain topics.

I have to believe that not everyone here is an idiot. There were good arguments made in both the bailout thread and the thread about people selling their almost new cars. The people who actually take the time to write out a decent argument typically are ones who will respond when someone presents them with a clear set of statements with facts to back them up.

I see this ban as kind of insult to our ability to have a serious discussion.

unfortunately there's not too many people who can have serious discussions on message boards, and there's always someone there to ruin it for the one's who can. there's to many people who like to cause controversy or troll imo. oh well. i think this decision is for the better.

I think it's a great idea. I've been on other forums where I end up loathing certain members because cool people seem to become complete assholes when politics come into the conversation. The only thing I can't stand is when a very constructive and interesting thread gets shut down because someone just can't have a conversation without bringing up politics.

This is why my friends and I have a standing unspoken rule amongst ourselves:

"If you like someone, do not dicuss religion and politics."

I think it works great.

The bottom line is that people get flat-out angry when it comes to politics. That also applies to very intelligent people. On the Lotus forum that I used to frequent, there were many people who were incredibly smart and very well educated but when it comes to politics, the gloves come off and they instantly become assholes. I just went on there again to see if it had improved at all and it has actually completely degenerated to an angry mess.

Feel free to take a look: Lotus Off-Topic forum
 
Vortex has an entire forum related to the '08 election. Knock your socks off over there.

disclaimer: I don't see the problem in having political threads on here either in the off-topic section. Why the censorship?

This explains why the off topic forum is full of stupid games and post whores.

Good call on preventing any real discussion from happening.

LOL.

I have to admit though all those stupid fu<king "game" threads are a big waste and should be banned before any political thread. I guess as long as the hardcore Swedish porn thread stays then I am happy at least.

God forbid people have an argument over something that actually matters. The whole idea of having a ban, on any type of discussion that is not violating some sort of law, isn't very American.

You guys seem to have no problem keeping an extremely long leash on the versus forum, one that is dedicated to confessions of illegal activity, yet we can't talk about politics.....wtf is the world coming to.

Agreed. Why in the world do you let people talk about street racing, yet we can't have some friendly banter over differing political views?
