Tired of islamic, jewish, and nazi threads?
I voted: No.
It's a General Topic Forum and all topics mentioned are general. Everybody is free to start a topic. Fine with me and difficult to change that.
A religious forum won't work, where to put "London bombings by Muslim extremists", "Clash of Civilisations", "the Holocaust" or "Salman Rushdie"? On the religious thread? Difficult (and a lot of) work for moderators.
Of course everybody's sometimes tired of posting and reading postings. The solution: don't read for a couple of days.
If it is a problem that the content of religious threads is insulting for at least 25%, then moving them to a different box wouldn't change much. Censorship would, but that we don't like. Or a little bit of personal respect for people with a different opinion. And some hard skin on your own soul...
The fact that there are so many threads about Islam and religion shows a growing interest that is a reflexion of what can be seen in society at large.
If a thread gets 145 responses it is obviously a succesful thread. If it gets 5 responses, it usually is not.
Threads about "philosophical, religious and political" subjects are not nesessarily meant to convince others, but more to communicate and learn from each other. That's at least what I try to do. Through this forum I've learned a lot and I was often challenged to read even more before I could react on a posting.
Again: we don't have to read what we don't want to read and we don't have to post if we don't want to post.
Just my opinion...
