There's just too much bickering all around this forum. It just won't do. Obviously, there could be only one solution - a dedicated thread where no-one will argue.
I thought it would be the perfect way to respond to this:
Oi! SHUT UP! THE LOT OF YOU!Enough of your bickering. At this point you are just arguing for the sake of arguing. This thread is supposed to be about the joy of driving, not your individual parking techniques.
Anyone who posts in this tread is a freaking Troll and should grow up or get a job where they actually have to do work. You've wasted precious minutes of your life reading these stupid words.
In all seriousness, I've thought that things have been quite civil lately. I'm not really sure why, but the vibe has been pretty great. Take the Obama thread. We just had a mature discussion with no flame baiting. That's the biggest display of tolerance and civility I have seen in quite some time. I don't, however, read many of the threads. Maybe you are arguing elsewhere.

You've just answered your own question. Your absence is clearly the reason for civility.
Clearly I was referring to the threads that I have participated in. As much as I'd like to have psychic ability, I will be the first to admit that I don't. I was not commenting on the civility, or lack thereof, in unseen threads.
I am quite sincere when I say that the recent political discussions have been the best in quite some time. Everyone made their point in about 1/5 of the normal space, and all points were topical and interesting to read. I've also seen a lot of respect and good information lately regarding tech products. I did not witness much "fanboy" nonsense. The comments were all intelligent and interesting. Go forum!

I'll hear that. I think it started with the whole guantanamo bay closing issue, where I was accidentally intelligent and thoughtful - I'm serious, I fully expected to have an argument coming quite rapidly, and was suprised when it resulted in "that'll do, Churbs, that'll do." - and it just went uphill from there.
Hence why I said. Let's all have sex! Like grown ups do.

You know... that could be the saving blessing in the states. People just shutting up due to lack of opinion. It would solve so many problems, and science could actually be unhindered for a change.

I'm not surprised that this was the first hit when I googled "give nukes a chance."
(Did I really just have to explain that?)
I guess it must be someone else's absence that is the reason, then.
Oh, and I hate you all, just saying.
Grow up.
