Kiz Out *drops mic

What exactly would James/Josy be sorting out? the threads are usually in the main reflections of what is dominating the news at any given time, anyone can post a thread as long as it is within the rules of the forum I don't see the issue. You don't have to read or react to every thread Kiz

Certainly a good thread shouldn't be closed or interfered with because a poster is frustrated that many of the opinions aren't in keeping with their own. Debate will always involve having to tolerate opinions that some are not comfortable with - it works both ways.

..the problem is (I think personally..)..is that there is very little debate anymore and it would be better named as Serious Discord or Serious Disrespect Section, so many threads just don't show any resemblance to debate at all but just hostility and defence..any topic worthy of debate or felt in need of debate is becoming lost...

I think it's more to do with name calling and the word bigot, racist and hypocrite being bandied about which causes offence and stifles any further discussion

Very true. It is often a deliberate attempt to undermine and belittle an opposing opinion which understandably leads to friction.

..there are lots of things that are stifling discussions and leaving little leeway for debate..(in my opinion..)...and all of that is perspective which we all have and which will always differ because that's the at it is ..there's no point in saying it's this/it's that and he said she said and so here we are because it's all contributing equally...and it just really leads/is leading around in circles and going nowhere that will ever lead to a section that is what it's meant to be becoming a possibility...

No I don't believe it all contributes equally, there is usually a catalyst, take the migrant fire post, it took to post 2 or 3 for the word bigot to be used, no need for it at all, people aren't going to put up and shut up when called names unnecessarily in the course of a discussion, never mind before the discussion has started

[kirklancaster]

In my honest opinion - there may be legitimate rebuttal of points in a post when such points are merely opinion-based, and THAT is debate, but it is the attacking, denying, dismissing and denigrating of GENUINE IRREFUTABLE TRUTHS in a post just because such truths DESTROY one's argument or opinion and they have no genuine rebuttal, which is THE problem on here.

Sometimes, our views are PROVED to be wrong.

I wholeheartedly believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ. My belief rests on one single tenet - that he was crucified and rose body and soul.

Now if someone discovered a GENUINE ossuary in an hitherto undiscovered tomb in Jerusalem, and the inscription on that ossuary proclaimed; Here is Yeshua son of Joseph and Mary, brother of James' and the bones were subsequently dated to the time of Christ, then I would be sick, depressed, and shattered, but I could not DENY the TRUTH that I had laboured under a misapprehension for so long.

..I was just typing out something/my thoughts but then I thought no because that would also be contributing further as well, so I'm just going to leave it with your perspective Cherie...

The sheer number of the right wing propaganda threads, I don't respond to all of them ...doesn't mean they aren't there :/

They are rather subtle I'll give you that.

There have been far more Liberal Left dominated propaganda threads on here than 'Right Wing' ones, and Cherie may verify this for herself, but I do not think that she made any reference or even allusion to any Right Wing propaganda threads in her post - let alone 'subtle ones', so where that came from is a total mystery Kizzy.

It doesn't really matter what leaning if any the thread has as long as it fits within forum rules, I'm not that interested in space travel but Monkey can post them if he must
