Should politics be banned? So that people don't get ****ed off with each other and leave.

Meaning that scientific threads such as the global warming one, stay strictly scientific.

Question:
Should politics be banned?

Choices:
No
Yes

For the most part we have a mature crowd here who should be able to handle such discussions without resorting to any type of unscrupulous behavior.
I have seen some discussions getting out of hand, and not just the political ones and that is really unacceptable.
If someone gets out of hand, they will/should be dealt with accordingly.
Don't let the poor actions of a few affect everyone else.

I'm thinking more along the lines of just the general atmosphere. For example I like characters on both political spectrum's, would be a shame if people left or fell out over minor political differences. It would be nice if the forum could be a bit more fun without people labeling each other socialists or right-wing nut jobs. Anyway, have a think about it. We don't have enough forum members left that we can just start all out political flame wars like we used to.

Yes, and ban people that want to ban polls.....It's unfair that such prejudice against a people of a specific nationality should be tolerated, persecuted in jokes and the like.....

We should ban all planes except for the P-51. It's the only one that did anything anyway. It's not like the others will be missed.

I don't really think anything should be banned, except Odin and the P-51. But people should choose their words carefully.

I have very strong political views but have almost never flamed anyone but have been flamed quite a few times of late myself. But I've been a good sport about it most of the time. But I also refuse to go to the moderators and demand punishment for these unseemly people. That's just being childish. I wish some would do the same for me. I will not allow some who disagree with me to get to me, nor would I ever leave because of such things. And I never change my name like a coward either, like some.

All the scientific data I get says there is no global warming at this time. The places I get my data from are all legit and all the low temperature records, massive snowfall records, ice and snow coverage data, glacial advancing data and such is all verifiable. It can all be backed up because it's collected by professionals. Just that people don't want to believe it is all.

Flipping well has to be well moderated with you lot in here, you'd argue over anything. Too Happy

Hehe. Er anyway sometimes the political discussion here is ok but then everyone starts acting like a 5 year old and calling other users names or saying "all ____ are stupid and uneducated" or "all _____ are not real ____" and blah blah blah thread locked.
