Subject: Why is political discussion prohibited?

i c u thar c' ing my signiture

Yours in _Kai_

Basically, as stated above, for the same reason that religious discussion is against the rules. If you want to talk about politics/religion, there are a few private groups that are just for those topics.

...we could get some well reasoned political discussion.

*wipes eyes*

Okay, show of hands. Who else laughed?
Really? In all your years here you've never seen a political thread house quality discussion? It's not as rare as you're making it out to be.

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit,
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

*raises hand while failing to stifle a grin* But seriously *serious face* We, as a community, just can't handle mature discussions like politics, hell my own family who are older than me can't handle political discussions without resorting to calling everybody else a retard or hypocrite. I rather discuss how to solve the problems and what possible solutions should be used rather than hate on democrats or republicans and some -blam!- like that.

While you may well believe the community here is capable of holding a rational political conversation like civilized human beings, I'm sorry to tell you that I have to disagree; it might remain mature for a page or two but sooner or later it will degenerate into a flame war.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

eh, Political discussion migght be the most interesting discussion themes on here as long as it isn't turned into flame bait.

The Flood doesn't have many discussion threads about anything and usually the "good" discussion value threads dissolve into a flame war.

Hello community, If you have any questions or concerns then please feel free to ask, whatever it may be and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge/ability. (It may not be THE answer you're looking for but AN answer is better than NO answer.)

KEEP CALM AND PLAY XBOX
Thank you.

I typed this once and I'll type it again, but more oomph.

Bungie.net is COMPANY/VIDEO GAME FANSITE, not c-span.

I hardly believe that the community here is capable of accomplishing anything. I have though seen numerous political threads that stayed perfectly civil as they ran their entire course. I'm not going to credit the community for doing an upstanding job for not being dicks but it has happened.

Disagree all you want. Civil political debate has happened before and will happen in the future.

Because people are immature and don't know how exactly politics work so they have to make smart ass remarks on topics they know nothing about.

"If practice makes perfect" and 'nobody's perfect,' then what's the point of practice?"

Because the man says so and the man wants to keep us down.

Need help finding skulls, make sure to go here.

As long as the thread remains civil, I've noticed the mods don't instantly lock them.

We can't handle politics. I myself admit that I can stay mature for like a few posts. After that, I'd probably call you all retarded then we'd have a flame war.
