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


cos u fascist.

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.

Care to exemplify my point further?

No why don't you exemplify it?

NON FACET NOBIS CALCITRARE VESTRUM PERNĒ¢UM

It starts to many flame wars and never leads to constructive conversation. Plus, that's what Private Groups are for.

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle- victorious"

It shouldn't be allowed. Almost any debate thread turns into a battle of insults. The flood can't even have vs thread without one user insulting another user. Also, a lot of people can't handle or tolerate another person's views. If you want religious/ political discussion, join a group.

"Life to you stepson and everlasting glory. " Thifes World.

Id rather not mix games with political commentary or religious debates IRL that yield in arguments. They are opinions that most of us have but this is not what b.net should be.

Fun place so every one can kick up there heals enjoy the true religion of the day. Bungie. It would degenerate quickly as immature people would turn our lovely place into chaos.

So it would be best to stick with things as is so we can be Bungie fans even cult members not nerd rage over what he/she said about Politics or Religion.

Making games then making money to make even cooler games sounds like a good business plan to me. Letting that other stuff in detracts from World Domination.

Probably never.

ISU Cyclones!

The vitriol it inevitably spawns on the internet is just something that's done away with for the forum's greater good.

There could be some good discussion had but the risk of flame wars and troll threads it'll spawn is not worth the risk. I agree with Bungie on that.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Never, hopefully.

How is "this is a gaming forum" relevant?

The Flood is an off topic section. By you guys' logic nothing should be allowed to be discussed except games.

I think their point is that because this is a gaming forum, any outrage at the disallowance of something inherently not video games is unwarranted.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

That, and I believe an inherent need to remain fairly neutral in these kinds of areas.

I have an inherent need to use the word inherent over and over.

It's a little like being a bartender. Never discuss politics or religion. You want your bar guests to like you. 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.


how does the fans talking about it on a forum to each other affect the image of bungie.... If some good arguments come out of it doesn't it just show you have a cool multi-layered and deep community.

It only propagates negatives, so I say no.

Religion debates are pointless. People try to change minds, not hearts. There's no sincerity to it.

As for politics, that's just annoying as -blam!-.

This is not a religious or political web site. This is a site about and for Bungie games. There are however some web sites out there that cater to such discussions. In fact, they specifically made for such discussion.

Never; there are three thing you never discuss with another person.

1. How much each other makes
2. Religion
3. Politics

Feelings get hurt, arguments ensue, and it's just not a good time because the majority of the population resorts to anarchy when their ideologies or egos are being jeopardized.

You have no rights

So declaring said 'freedom' of moot.
You don't like it?
You're free to go elsewhere.
