In my opinion controversial threads are a lot more interesting than other ones which involve breaking news. Eventually regardless of what topic the thread is on, as long as it is controversial it will turn into flaming.

I find this to be troublesome. Why can we never carry on discussion in a controversial thread without having it turn into a flame war?

Discuss.

I just hate that people always call troll when the OP has a controversial opinion.

Because you have to prove to some random guy on the internet that their opinion is wrong.

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

People like a bit of drama.

but that's the beauty of it, you can show people the right way and help make the world a better place.

e.g. tell a potential serial killer that killing is wrong?

Not true at all I have been in numerous threads that didn't resort to flaming. It just depends on who is arguing and how mature they want to be about the topic.

Peoples passions run high about some things. When that happens people don't think before they post or they think they have the "right" answer and all the rest are wrong. Its not a big step to go from that to a flame war because someone thinks they are right and everyone else is an idiot.
