Is it just me, or is that forum there mostly for our community to rag on the world?

I think it would be worthwhile trying to elevate discussion of politics as one would discuss a scientific problem - with evidence or facts.
:rofl: I guess one problem with respect to politics is getting the evidence or the facts.Ivan Seeking said:Yes, let's try an ironical approach.
These are both problems that make politics a bit different from science topics. But, with regard to your other points, yes, one of the things the new guidelines will very likely address is that when people make a statement of opinion, they make it clear that it is opinion. In other words, opinion in politics is okay, as long as it is not asserted as fact. If someone does assert something as fact, then they should also have the burden of providing evidence to back up that claim.Astronuc said::rofl: I guess one problem with respect to politics is getting the evidence or the facts.
And one certainly has to contend with the reliability (or lack thereof) of the media.

While that's true, there are objective facts involved in supporting arguments.Pengwuino said:And politics is too subjective. There is no real right or wrong unless you're one of these people who think their views on life are the only right way of looking at things and any opposing viewpoint is evil.
That's exactly why I think discussing politics shoud be banned in this forum!:tongue2: (I've almost banned myself from these discussions. )Astronuc said:I think some people discuss politics like they discuss religion, which leads to heated exchanges.

Merely a touch of self-deprecation to remove any air of pomposity that could have been observed in my post, I assure you.Pengwuino said:Are you trying to start the War of 1812 part II?... which i suppose would also be known as the War of 2005?

Politics plays a crucial role in world affairs as it is the means through which countries interact and make decisions that affect the global community. It involves the exercise of power, negotiation, and diplomacy in addressing economic, social, and security issues on a global scale.
The major challenges in international relations include conflicts between nations, economic inequalities, climate change, and human rights violations. These issues require cooperation and effective communication among countries to find solutions and maintain peace and stability.
International organizations, such as the United Nations, have a significant impact on world affairs as they provide a platform for countries to discuss and address global issues. They also play a role in promoting cooperation, conflict resolution, and human rights protection among member states.
Domestic politics refers to the internal affairs of a country, while international politics involves the relationships and interactions between countries. Domestic politics focuses on issues within a nation, such as economy and social policies, while international politics deals with global issues like trade, security, and human rights.
Globalization has greatly impacted politics and world affairs by increasing interdependence among countries, allowing for the spread of ideas and culture, and creating economic and social networks. It has also led to challenges, such as economic inequalities and cultural clashes, which require political solutions on a global level.
