i'm all for free speech and freedom of expression.

but, i think we need some maturity when posting, we're all adults here (i'm assuming), so we can still have a good debate without having to resort to attacking people based on ethnic or religious backgrounds.

this isn't the Stormfront forum, if u want to post racist pics, do it there, but not here.

Gavin, this is a P-O-L-I-T-I-C-S forum. People are bound to get offended sooner or later, even if you're not on stormfront.

No need to attack someone on an individual basis of course, but the actual issues of race, religion and culture should not be forbidden merely o n the grounds of political correctness alone. The bias of someones argument based on their personal background should also be brought into question. But personal attacks... solely personal attacks... for no good reason... should be forbidden.

I agree, we shouldn't attack people personally, but also we shouldn't be relying on ethnic/religious stereotypes either when discussing issues.

Just because someone has a certain background does not mean they are going to be biased, and the fact that they have that background is not evidence of bias. If someone is biased, point out the bias based on what they post.
