Some of these threads are interesting and well founded and argued. However, some of us find it hard to let such posts go if they contain dubious, challengable claims. Hence so many threads becoming ding dong. I would suggest that if posters want to avoid so many political threads or threads going off topic, they should challenge the people who start the threads or crowbar migration/race comments into as many posts as they can?
Yep good post. Some posters can't wait to scapegoat Muslims and blacks for all our countries ills. It is just not fair or true to chain this. The problems of our country are multi faceted so why dint these posters examine some other issues as well at the very least. If people put on here contentious stuff they will be challenged and rightly so. Why should they not be? Are we saying you are not allowed an opinion on here Or is it just certain opinions? It's all s bit fascist otherwise aint it? The immigration thing has been done yo death over the years and I think there is no valid reason to keep recycling it because it only created bitterness and the same old stuff. Therefore why not just ban immigration related threads and posts now as a trial to see if the board settles down. My bet is it would. Go for it mods
