our society whether here in the online enviorment of cc or in our daily lives , is where we interact , when we interact we might talk of the weather , the score in the weekends football

the high taxation for no visible return , the wealth of the church who ask for charity to help the poor ,

we are humans many things are discussed in our interactions each has validity , even if its just being neighbourly and building bonds that help us in our lives

cc of course erik has its own way  , and here the political or religious aspects of our lives are not allowed to be discussed in cc forums ,

so for some we deny them the information source of connections that will help them thrive in life

cc forums do get trolled and such subjects can descend into a bad view of this site so I certainly understand why cc choose no politics no religion ,

as an aside erik but related , cc offer those who wish to talk of these things an option called open discussion , thanks but have you seen the amount of cyberbullying that goes on there esp if you are atheist , socialist , muslim , gay , etc

if not pop in in disguise is an idea , and see what I mean

keep warm keep well , all in all you still are my choice of chess website

alot has changed in 10 years , their is popular upsurge in folk not leaving politics ignored but actively seeking to be informed

whilst this IS  a chess site it also IS  a social site , here we have individuals of differing faiths political persuasion , are they going to be quiet , NO

how to accomodate them ?

dont, tell them their views aint allowed to be voiced , send them to open discussion and allow them to be trolled into submission ? thats the present cc way and its alienating many but i cant see it changing

even though weve all changed in the 10 years since this thread was penned

rethink the ban on politics and religion . it wii need moderating but its been shown to be informative stimulating and of interest to many cc users

I know this idea will never work but, how about forming teams to take the deabte to the boards? Republicans Vs Democrats, Kings vs Disciples etc. You know get those passionate juices into the game.  

Wow Latin Kings vs Gangster Disciples? That would probably get pretty crazy really quick, and are there even any representatives of both sides on here, even? Lol

I agree. If people want to debate about religion and politic, they need to go to private spaces, and Chess.com wasn't private.

The problem is any discussion about Politics or Religion that is your view is wrong. 

That holds for a lot of things

And also(I believe)we should not talk about sort of human personality or something like that...

"Those topics are RELIGION and POLITICS. ... Let's leave that to MySpace and other forums. "
Perhaps I have a bias towards 'myspace' people as mostly shallow and plasticky, but one must admit that that still sounds a little funny. :p
A famous quote: "Tolerance is fine, but only towards the tolerant" or somesuch. If people would show enough maturity in discussion of these topics (that is to not offend so readily and not to be offended so easily) than I think that there is no reason that they should be discouraged. Unfortunately, these topics are very inflamatory to humans, particular diverse groups thereof and immaturity about such things is common even among the normally mature people.
IMHO it all comes down to the philosophy of 'live and let live' and who can handle it.

I think that saying the existence of god has no finite explanation is a religious opinion in and of itself

This is a great observation, even though you are going insane. LOL
