This is evidenced by things as obvious as starting conversations about Quantum Theory as much as by simple things like revelling in correcting each others grammar.<br><br> Because of this, and perhaps due to our inherent convictions, pontification runs rampant. Some would say you should never discuss Religion or Politics, I would say you should discuss them as often as possible. Debate, heated or otherwise, is the doorway to higher understanding and growth.<br><br> If someone bashes a religion and we merely dismiss it as zealotry, we miss an opportunity to learn and teach. This goes for race and politics as well.<br><br> I read the locked thread that Paul started, and I wanted to hop into it, but I was too late. However I did notice some good points stuck in between the name caling and jibing. It is my humble oppinion that while PM is not a forum for racism and general disregard for people's sympathies, it is, on occasion, a good place to share world views. This is what makes us a community more than just another site.<br><br> Perhaps this is not such a "quick point."
