How come when anybody starts a serious topic that will cause a good debate, people get mad at them?

I don't get it. Why is doing that such a bad thing? If you don't like it, don't go in the thread! I mean really, what exactly would this forum be if it was all just about CS, cars and "OMG, My member's golden!"

So let people debate on religion, and other intersting topics...I don't see the harm in it.
 
Damnit, you know better than to ask this. I'm really p!ssed now. :| :| :|



😛

I don't think people get angry about the question, they get angry at some of the responses. In addition, the religion and abortion issue has been beaten to death over and over.

 
I think mostly if you look at the topics one very similar or one in the same were just discussed the days or two before..
ie.. Do you believe in Evoultion??? topic one on 2/1/01
How do you feel about Evolution taught in Schools??? Topic two on 2/5/01
Theses are just examples and I am at work so I wanted to answer anything I could hence that I am sooo bored 🙂 😛
 
There is no way to "debate" Religion really...in order to have a debate you have to discuss and argue and counter each other. Religion is all about what someone believes, and alot of times it's very hard to put that into words, and even if you do, people of conflicting beliefs won't accept your beliefs as a rational argument. So it ends up as a flame war...human nature I think...besides, I think if you read those religious threads most people are pretty reasonable, it's just a few that flare up and make it get rather ugly.
 
Guys, I'm not talking about the people that get angry during the debate. I'm talking about the ones who say "Way to start a flame war, dingus!" "Do you know what you're starting? Take it somewhere else!".
 
Oh damn...and here I was trying to be profound well you sure f***ed that up for me 😉 hehheeh j/k

I see what you're asking now. Probably because most of them know how threads like that will turn out. I know how they will turn out and try to stay away from them...not that I dislike a serious conversation but there are too many infantiles running around that turn them all into flame wars.
 
NART! oh wait, this isnt another religion thread!

well, reason why i added my 2 cents was i would like to add posts to my post count.

basically looking to become a lifer before the mid of this year.
 
I like threads that stir up debate, especially those that ask truly ambiguous cultural questions like "is it wrong to eat dogs, and if so, why" and "why is incest wrong" (loved that thread!) I think everyone views the world through their own versions of rose-colored glasses, and people get upset when someone comes along and tries to shatter them.

Egads, this thread is almost 3 years old?! I wonder if anyone has subscribed to it who'll get a completely unexpected email..
