Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!

Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

Should we shut Civics 101 down?

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      What is this "elsewhere" you speak of? Don't tell me you are a forum tart!

        There's no reason to shut it down. Everyone has the freedom to moderate their own actions and behaviors. You can choose to post, or not post. Choose to ignore the trolls or not ignore them. Censorship is always a course that leads to destruction.

          I hope this is sarcasm.
          It's not censorship so much as trying to get this site back on it's intended track. We are not Civicsweb, we are Theologyweb.

            Like Civil said, it's just a sign of the times. I think it reflects the tension in society, so it won't change. Like Shuny said, either the heated discourses will bleed into other areas of the forum, or most folks will just leave to other forums.

              Except we can moderate the other forums and keep the Civics stuff out of them.

                Back to the subject at hand. Many actually take Civics 101 to seriously. In part the whole site is a school for me, and to large extent inspires and compels me to do research on topics I would not have normally I normally would not have.

                      Obviously the mods will do whatever they want. I think Civics should stay. I think the timing is highly suspect given that things have been a lot more chill over the past month.

                        This is part of what I am talking about, you constantly calling people names in your quotes. It needs to stop. It's not as cutesy or clever as you think it is.

                          Nowhere presently. Although I did post for awhile on CARM.

                          I loved Leon Redbone's version of that song.

                          I'm always still in trouble again

                              Most of us have been here since the forum started. Things have not been chill, not by a long shot.

                                "highly suspect" in what way?
