Can we just ban all controversial topics and talk about our favorite flower?

Ya know, I should know better than to reply to a controversial topic. Nothing good ever comes of it, unless you totally and utterly agree with the views of the person who started the discussion. If I don't agree with someone, I'm going to state my point of view. I kinda use "debate" rules - mostly like not reading something into what I've written that isn't there. And I do expect a little bit of the same in return. I know that people get very passionate about what they think is the only right answer, but other people have views too, and we don't have to agree. I have learned a lot of things in this forum - I mean good things about different aspects of life and people. And most of that was through discovering our differences, not just always talking to the people with the same views. When I ask something of someone I do so because I really want to know - not because I'm attacking their views. I guess I just like "discussion" not one-sided monologues.
