Why is it still prohibited?

I agree it can start bad flame wars, but that's only in threads where people's religious beliefs can come into play, and I believe that falls under the no religious discussion rule. I think a good discussion on who the next president should be could be interesting, it would cause the same amount of flame wars as a regular thread, so don't say that would be a problem.

What do you think, guys?

One of the things that is worth pointing out is that not all people live in the same country, state, or continent. Having all those people from different regions can propose very different conversations, but it would most likely cause a flame war that would ruin the base point of the thread. This in unfortunate because there are some political things that I would like to talk about but cannot because forums like these are filled with people who would troll and children who never read newspapers.

As opposed to all the other discussion threads that stay completely on topic and produce no flame wars?

It seems to depend on the time of day whether the political topic get flamed or not.

Political discussions will attract trolls, and the trolls will start flamewars on sensitive subjects.

People can barely discuss politics without the anonymity of the internet.

Yesh.

Keeping in mind that they never know when they're being trolled and are generally pretty dimwitted, OP.

The flood is not open minded enough to accept other's opinions and views without it getting out of hand and turning into a big flame war. It has happened time and time again.

I think you misspelled "can't" in your title.

No, I do not want to join your clan/group.

Wasn't there another thread a couple of weeks ago claiming the Flood was mature enough to handle political discussions as well? Same answer now as it was then: NO.

While there may be a small handful of individuals in the Flood who could discuss it matured, the vast majority are not capable of acting civil. Hell, political discussions tend to make even the mature people revert to a close-minded and irrational state, much like religious discussions, because both are subjects where people have strong feelings/opinions about.

If you want to discuss politics, form a private group and keep it out of the main forums. If that doesn't suit you, then go to another site that does encourage political discussion and engage them in conversation.

But politics, like religion, have no place on these forums.

I used to think people on the internet could not handle political discussion.

I now think people can not handle political discussion.
