Those 2 types of threads just cease to die and I'm pretty sure we are all sick of them. I think it would be a good idea to banish them to the forum dungeon as they share a lot of similarities with their threads.
#1 It's the same thread over and over again.
#2 They usually get pretty political
#3 They get pretty flame-y.
#4 It's the same people posting in them every time.
#5 They are just depressing to be in.
Also, many of these discussions end up being political by the end of it so they'd fit in just fine.
Who's with me, should we banish these threads to the murky depths of R&P?
