Because they are bored?

Subjects which are sensitive in nature (well, there are folks from both ends which think are they are correct) draw crouds of folks debating subject matters and don't really get resolved in the end, are they created by folks who just want to see some thread activity?

Threads such as religion, politics, circumcision, abortion, etc ,etc.

We all have different opinions on the matter. And it's interesting to see other people's point of view at times (just not very couple of days)

Why start them unless you are actually interested in a certain elements of the discussion?

You can recongize a flamebait from a mile away. Still draws attention. Write something produce, someone might actually learn something :p

attention. Kind of like those angsty 16 year old boys who listen to punk music and threaten to commit 'suicide' every other week.

How can anyone consider a thread about abortion flamebait? Just thinking about those poor helpless babies MURDERED by someone who mocks his hippocratic oath makes me sad. Sigh...

Well I don't know how to answer your question, it's best to ignore those trolls.

I would consider it okay only if the life of the mother was in danger.

Then there would be a medical reason for it.

some ppl are generally unsure of where they stand on certain issues and want a semi anonymous place for discussion.

some ppl just have nothing better to do with their lives than to stir the shite pot.
