AAARGH!
« on: January 25, 2009, 06:02:02 pm »
What is with you all trying to be deep and intellegent by making very controversial threads about life, religion, race, and evolution!? This is getting annoying, just because you say your opinion doesn't make you smart, no matter how much detail you put into it. It is just YOUR opinion and YOUR ideas.
Not to go flying off the hook, but most of them are similar, brought on by earlier posts and created threads. This is getting annoying, we come here to game and have fun, not to argue about what is the meaning of life, who is the best love doctor, and if those shoes really make her look fat.
Try coming up with topics that wont anger someone or question their entire religious background. Try to be nice and not attack someone's race or individualism. Please be kind, rewind, and leave the controversy out of this!
I do have a plan, maybe the admins could make a child-forum under The Lounge just for controversial topics like on Game Maker Games (GMG). This would make it so I wouldn't have to swim through topics like, "Christian God" or "Evolution or Creationism" just to get to a fun topic where I can relax and chat.
Yeah, I know this seems a little dramatic, but I was trying to build up to my suggestion, it is how I was taught in English 101.

It is just YOUR opinion and YOUR ideas.

The things we're arguing about have answers. To what extent is the theory of evolution correct? Did God create the universe? Does absolute morality exist? These questions have concrete answers. Not at all is it useless to discuss them, and our opinions are not just opinions, but rather correct or incorrect beliefs. These questions are not matters of opinion, but fact.

That's true but remember we are in The Lounge. I for one don't even play Soldat.

But only through accepting controversy can we discuss several important questions. Controversy isn't bad, it's often the best way to discover truth.

Its actually a pretty good idea IMO. Then again, topic titles are pretty easy to sort through.

Hey, it's primary discussion when you're out of ideas. Besides, it's not only for smart people; it's for everyone. They can ask question, or counter example and more.
I don't understand why you're frustrated with controversial topics.

Not really all against the controversy, but when someone posts a topic about controversy, someone uses that as a basis to make their own topic. Like a straw-man fallacy, it just keeps tumbling down until it crashes. Or as in this case, until it becomes annoying.

Strawman is when you simplify the topic and attack the newly simplified version. I think you mean that slippery slope.

Yeah, that is the one.
I get my fallacies mixed...

But seriously. Think of something original so we don't see copies of the same topic over and over again with a slight word change.

opinions are subject to criticism
in these topics usually the criticisms are valid and presented well

whatever problem you have with them is dumb and you're one of those HEY IT'S MY OPINION WHICH MAKES IT AN INFALLIBLE ARGUMENT QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM

i.e. you're dumb

I think a "Serious Discussion" section would be great.  You should mention it to an admin or someone else that can make it happen.

Only anime shows I've felt any interest in over the years are Pokemon (original TV series) and various hentai.
so clearly jgrp is a goddamn anime connoisseur. his opinion might as well be law here.

Don't like topics on religion, creation, evolution, politics, etc.?  The solution is simple.

Don't post in 'em.  Don't read 'em.  No one is holding a gun to your head to make you read these things, so why bother griping about it?

The concept of a sort of "serious/debate" section has been tossed around though.  Maybe it's time to rehash the idea...
