Subject: So, when will Religious/Political discussion be allowed?

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I don't believe it will, or should ever be allowed. So many offensive things can be said said, and no one will ever get close to agreeing with each other.

The Wonderful LeSieg!

Most people don't debate politics and religion, they just become mean and bitter towards one another. I love discussing politics and religion with certain people, but only because we have discussions where we actually try to find answers and understand other people's sides on an issue. I don't come to the public forums to discuss those issues on B.net because most people can't have that kind of discussion intelligently.

It's a good rule for a community that often needs it.

When the flood grows up which is never.
I don't think it's limited to just the Flood; religious and political discussions always seem to bring out the worst in people, even people who are normally very mature and respectful of others. They're just highly volatile topics regardless of where the conversations take place, and I hope they're never allowed on Bnet.

Never, I hope. The Flood would be overloaded with atheism vs christianity and politics debates which would turn it into total crap.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Because politic discussion is inherently connected to religious and social life and people will take great offense when their norms and values are being discussed.

It's a sensitive, delicate matter and not suitable for an international, multicultural gaming forum.

Which is never going to be possible for two reasons:
1. People are very easily offended
2. People are -blam!-s

Sounds like a bad idea. An opportunity for people to show their bias to a particular belief or viewpoint on what should be a neutral standing game website....That talks about games.

The prior relies solely on faith, which can't be backed up with observations or conclusions drawn via the scientific method (meaning it's unable to be disproved or experimented upon.) Because of this, topics always become heated due to emotions getting out of hand; resulting in pages upon pages of nonsensical arguments over something which won't cause anyone to change their view.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

True, but that was the exception rather than the rule.

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

When our government can do this right and when all religions can do this right, then B.net should be able to do it right.

Until then, I hope neither are ever an allowable open forum topic.

... Why eliminate half of them or more by staking a claim on a political or religious side?

Similar for any business, in this case a game developer. You stay out of that area. It can do no good for your business.


Wonder if there will come a time when laws force Bungie to play the political game.

Keeping the political side out, but wait till there is a law/movement to really crack down on video games. Things have been said to put more control on the gaming industry to help with the mental status of the youth. Wait till such a law will put Bungie into a pickel, then see if they will allow for political chatter.

Hopefully before that happens, I will have lost my want to play video games, and only care about how much applesause i get with my meds.

No, because I am not blind enough to believe that a bunch of gamers from all corners of the world and of all ages can be polite and cordial enough to be able to carry on a civilized conversation on either topic.

Calling that fascist even as a joke is sophomoric and shows no real knowledge of what the word means, which only proves you would not be able to carry on said conversation.

It is a controversial topic, nothing wrong with a little heated discussion. You just don't want people to speak their minds because it hurts you.
