All im going to say, is, i really think that old saying of "Never talk about politics or religion" has same honest truth to it. It's an old saying, and if it wasnt true, it woudlnt have been around for so long.
Its a subject that can burn away respect you may have for others, or others may have for you, in about the same amount of time it takes to light a match. Especially on the internet. Ive seen it on a number of message board communities. And theres always a resistance to want to put a cap on it, or stick it in its own corner where it arguably belongs. I guess some people like the strife that is created by these subjects, while others don't. If you like seeing people go at each others throats, well, by all means, stoke the coals and keep the fires burning. Eventually that boiler will blow, its only a matter of time.
edit:
I might add, the last few days, ive had to exercises an incredible amount of self control because of some of the crap ive read in the GF. My 2 cents and 2 posts worth, im done talking about it.
