If you ban all people who don't contribute to problem-solving, then you're going to ban a lot of people. This site is a Contour community, not a Contour problem-solving community.
Not that it's relevant, but I do help when I can.

This is what I don't understand. How does a thread you don't participate in affect your experience here at CEG?

The religious and political posts are funny! Dont' ban my entertainment!
On a side note, why is the Common Interest forum under attack by Originally posted by Pete D: people who are open minded, use logic and reason instead of basing their opinion off of what someone else (politician, pastor etc) says?
Because self-proclaimed open-minded people are the most closed-minded people on the planet. You find that out as soon as you disagree with them.

there are "winners" and "losers" amidst those debates?  and all this time I thought there was only the latter.

First of all, I don't involve myself in religious arguments, namely, because I am not religious.
As for political arguments, with the current administration, I couldn't lose a political argument if I wanted to. It must suck to be a diehard Republican right now. Do Republicans have anything going for them right now? Really? What positive has come out of Bushe's regime?
And instead of resorting to personal attacks, why don't you answer the question?

ROTF!!! You are one to complain about resorting to personal attacks. That's laughable at best.

My own personal opinion aside, please, PLEASE everyone, ignore this comment. Response can only lead this potentially useful thread down the path of so many others......
Though I do have to ask, is Bushe the French equivilent to our current elected leader?
