Debates are always heated by nature..but debating is not what is happening here.

As I am not from the Uk it has always being interesting for me to read opinions from either side of the debate.

Whilst tempers may have got flared at times...what is happening now is immature .

I have seen posts saying in SD that I have more friends on here than you ..therefore I am right,in other words my gang is bigger than your gang.

Other posts that stop debate from taking place are those that say if you agree with me you are intelligent ...heck I have even seen one where a FM applauded another for agreeing with with their post and told them they were too intelligent to be on TIBB...IMO implying if you didn't agree with them you are dumb.

The one thing that has irked me the most is I have seen very intelligent ,well spoken younger members who had been really willing to engage in debate and to accept views of others to be laughed at and told that they didn't know what they were talking about because they weren't alive at the time...those who done that went on to applaud their mates who didn't discuss anything but pot a Ytube vid.

Sorry mods (who IMO have the patients of saints)..I think there should be a main Thread for Trump ans another for Muslims/migrants

Good to see you back Lime and thanks for your input. Am I right in thinking you live in Ireland but are South African? I always enjoy your posts and I hope we can sort this out so serious debates can be a good place to post again
