He's actually back lol.

So you know who to turn to for the mere sake of arguing that can never stop

That forum needed moderators and better structure in which way to discuss.

The politics and religion board was chaos indeed. Many of you now say ''good thing it's gone'', but I myself enjoyed watching these heated discussions and sometimes joining them.. After all, as long as it's kept within that board, nobody should complain because they aren't forced to view that board or reply to anything.

It is true what Curse said though, sometimes things went too far and moderators weren't present..

Anyways, a so-called ''World News and current affairs'' sub forum would just be a cover up for the old Politics and Religion board, simply because there WILL be argueing about the ''current affairs'' and things WILL get out of hand as much as they did in the old board, according to many.

So basically I support bringing back the old one with a better structure and more moderators but not some lame cover-up for it

I still fail to see why the politics and religion section was removed.

I also fail to see why people chose to be offended when reading it.
Being offended is a choice that you make. If you don't want to be offended.. how about just not choosing that?

Also, if you truly believe in something, and then someone comes and mocks it - then you should reply with belittlement and mockery of your own. If you don't, then that just shows you don't really believe in it, and need to rethink your words in the future.

Why?

I don't mind someone asking me about my country, or even mocking it. Their life, their choice.
But I don't allow that to a Serb. 

Panda, if we didn't have the "WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ..." threads and et cetera, I believe things would be much different.
I know since that section started, we had many good debates. Whether it was about religion, meaning of life or simply current world affairs.

And I have to agree sadly. Its your choice to get offended.
Schopenhauer said that the world is a will and an idea.

Reason : Provoking

Next Day : Moderator Comment : Behave
Beneath that, by the moderator : I just deleted a whole page of provoking post,don't post such crap again,or you'll get muted bla bla etc etc.

If the only purpose of the politics and religion section was to mock one another than shouldn't it have been removed?

[Pandalink]

My post there was basically just a long version of the phrase "grow a pair".
Why choose to be offended? I never understood that.

People here are Patriotic, and patriotism can change into jingoism and intolerance pretty quickly.

I would support the re-addition of a Current Affairs forum provided it had its own team of Board Moderators. Politics and Religion was heavily under-moderated.
