Political debates are not allowed on this forum because, quite frankly, if you've ever seen one on a forum, then you know they are just flamefests, they never go anywhere or convinces anyone of anything, it's just 32+ pages of Left calling Right "smegheads!", and the Right saying "no you're the smegheads!" to the Left.
That is allways what it boils down to, and it can tear communities appart for no good reason, so i don't really blame the mods here for not wanting that here.
This thread has not degenerated into that, and mostly just serves to make people aware of something that's going on, and thus, that's probably why it hasen't been targeted by the mods, it hasen't gone sour like they usually do.
