Part of me is just simply astounded at how many times the same topics come up on this site for debate and the same old arguments get tossed around. But the more dominant, cynical part of me isn't surprised at all because people equals shit. So I have begun thinking about whether there is anything at all that exists that wouldn't be argued about on this site. Like maybe in order to restore my faith in humanity, or at least a modicum of it, we should form a list of things that no one argues about. Not arguing itself on the issues, but simply whether or not arguing exists on those things. That way we could all have a "happy place" to find the next time gun control or rape comes up on these thread. I honestly wouldn't even know where to start, because I'm sure there is someone out there researching whether or not gravity exists.

We can all agree piracy is wrong and is not justifiable in any context and people who do pirate should just admit that they want shit for free, and there is nothing else to it
I think we can all agree that rape, murder and kiddy porn are all things that we all agree are despicable.
Most every thing else is up for debate depending on your point of view.

Hitler was bad. He raped entire nations, metaphorically speaking. It's a good thing we got to him before he killed nations metaphorically and literally. I guess you could say he killed a nation's worth of people, but that goes back to the original statement that everyone can agree on. Hitler was bad.

This is absolutely beautiful, it must be have it's own sticky thread named "Life Cycle of The Escapist Forums"TopazFusion said:
I think everyone should be able to agree on math problems, it's very black and white there. Except for those stupid complicated equations that go more into philosophy than mathematics... damn schrodinger...

I'm pretty sure this is absolutely 100% true, so I guess this would be a food answer, except stupid captcha says it's so-so...TopazFusion said:The Escapist goes through a rotation cycle of popular topics.
The process essentially goes like this . . .
A 'catalyst' event happens (recent examples include: Lara Croft rape, and the movie theater shooting)
This causes a plethora of threads on the topic to flood the forum.
Some people's jimmies get rustled and they go make their own threads.
Almost the entire forum becomes clogged with threads about the same topic (or tangentially related to it).
At this point threads start popping up complaining about all the other threads about the current 'hot topic'
People eventually tire of arguing about the topic, and the threads start to wane.
Alternatively, another catalyst event occurs, causing a shift to a new topic.
Go back to start.
Well we can all agree that captcha is actually sentient and likes to troll people, he also has a sense of humour since it's often seen making sarcastic remarks, I also believe he's evil but guess that's up for debate.
i think there is no tangible thing like this, once you go beyond basic stuff like "we all agree that killing toddlers is wrong" you go into "but maybe..." territory

Wrong. Piracy is acceptable and I would green light it myself if the game is no longer available or for some other reason inaccessible.Giftfromme said:
