Thought it might be nice to have an off-topic debates/discussion forum... The 'chit-chat' forum doesn't seem like the right place to post on more serious non art-related issues... religion, politics, etc etc. What do you think?

I've seen debate forums on other sites degenerate into very ugly flame fests which require inordinate moderation to proceed in any sort of civil manner. Not a good idea!

Brainless! You sheep in rabbitskin worshipping at the spew-slick altar of ennui, I would not wipe my nose with you.

Very Happy

Just kidding. I witnessed a flame war on a surrealist site a few years ago and I haven't been the same since. Hoo boy, when those surrealists get mad ...
