I think this is a dicey area for discussion. Political discussions have always, and particularly so today, essentially consisted of ripping off bits of dogma and throwing at each other. While my family and I are generally on the same page, I avoid political discussions with them as well.
I am often inclined to flag political threads here if they get egregiously bad. It very often gets to be the opposite of interesting.

Despite that I have actually learned stuff here from people that I originally disagreed deeply with. (Oh, and I am also fairly sure certain people have/could learned/learn something from me, but thats up to them to seize the opportunity. d:-) > I am often inclined to flag political threads here if they get egregiously bad. I wish they were better but often I wish people could stick to flagging bad behavior instead of the entire thread. That said, I am not here to challenge moderator decisions. Even with showdead on this place is fantastic compared to certain places I find it easy to compare with.
