Marucha said: I find it weird that we're still trying to have political/religious discussions the same way on the internets in 2013 when it's obvious how this always goes. I figured out a long time ago that most people who are attracted to those threads are the pushy opinionated, love-for-controversy types who try to pose opinions as fact. It's not the topic that is a problem, it's the people trying to push their own POV are overwhelming to the discussion. Usually involves people telling things at each other and nobody is ever really listening. Nobody is looking to change their own point of view. I may share my own but I expect nobody but the people who can relate to it care and are really listening lol... I still might share, but I don't want to 'debate' something I firmly believe.

Couldn't agree more. The problem is......this is true in the real world as well, where the people who talk the loudest and spark the biggest controversies get the most face-time. The people really trying to tackle these issues are largely ignored. Then in the off-chance they do get referenced, its generally out of context.
