Just wondering, maybe we should have seperate forums for all 3 since there are those of us who find discussing one or more of the above offensive. I have to agree with Luke and Q, if we're going to relegate all discussion of religion to the "prayer requests" folder, why don't we follow suit and have a seperate folder for sex and one for politics? How about abortion, too, since that causes a lot of controversy? Well, then, how about a folder for whether or not to have another child when you know you carry the cf gene? And, then there's the working vs. SAHM debate and the daycare debate. Oh, and of course, the to shelter or not shelter our cfer debate. Ok, my point is instead of relegating all these many topics which can/have/and could cause controversy to seperate folders, how about we just discuss them rationally, like adults? If we don't feel rational at the time we're reading a post, maybe we should leave the forum and come back at a time we do feel more rational? Ok, now for my own personal opinion: I hate to see the posts all banned to sections everyone may not enter because maybe we don't only want to hear opinions similiar to our own. In my opinion, part of living and learning is being open to at least <i>hearing</i> others views. After all, a belief isn't really a belief until it's tried and tested. Other thing is, I've noticed a couple times that people who get offended and suggest that we have different forums actually end up posting on those forums. My question is, if it's so offensive to you, why do you bother to read it when it's been moved to another section as you've requested??
Ok, so, now, my real question, maybe we should take a vote and see how many people want a seperate forum for discussing "hot" topics (as opposed to 50 million forums for the various topics that cause controversy?) Any ideas, suggestions?
