Arguing politics, religion or philosphy on an Internet forum is an exercise in frustration even on a usually civilized forum like SUBSIM. There might actually be some good ideas and insights but then, inevitably, they decay into waste products and acronomy. Just know when to walk away and trust the Mods to shut it down when things get out of hand.

Two quotes to help keep things in perspective:

A fanatic is a person who cannot change the subject and will not change their mind.
Attributed to Winston Churchill

Trying to discuss (politics, religion, philosphy) is like wrestling with a pig. Nobody wins, everyone gets dirty but only the pig enjoys it.

Rising to the trolls, the narrow-minded and foolish just empowers them. The opinions of idiots are meaningless and you control the definition of 'idiot'. Ignore them and it's as though they do not exist.

Drinking forums sound like fun however...
