Do we not respect other opinions here?

I'm not by any means trying to start any shit, and if you want to delete this thread, do so.

But in the past couple of weeks, I've seen two threads that were perfectly civilized locked because people started to disagree.

Are we in a state where we can't even have discussions that involve two opposing views? [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

Just a thought...

*locks thread*

Yes we are in this state. I like talking politic but I try not to. Even though, one of my thread ws locked because I ask the mods to do it. It wasn't even a political thread and it turned into one.

I'm the kind of guy that like to discuss, o share my views and see what others think of it but It's almost impossible to do it on the net.

that's sad.

it's just the nature of the beast.

politics and religion topics ALWAYS turn into a shouting match.

I so totaly know what you mean its like when my friends and I discuss Pepsi and Coce and Im so totaly in it you know but the others cant take a normal discussion you know ethey are so totaly out. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I dont mind a normall dissucsion either but I try to avoid it on the net

[0193081]

Oh, and I don't mean people started to argue and the thread should have been locked.

I mean, people started to disagree in a civilized manner, but the thread was locked anyway.

[chaserfan]

I disagree

[Peter Peeker]

dude, you know where it would have gone though...

it was pre-emptive, that's all.

hell, if I aired my political/religious views here, most of you would never speak to me again. [img]wink.gif[/img]

But sometimes intelligent discussions do develop, especially on a board like this, where most of us are mature enough to do so.

I just find it sad that we can't allow people the chance to disagree on a subject.
