No politics or religion?

[billy]

It says in the rules that they don't want any talk about politics or religion in this "Around the Campfire" thread.  Isn't that what you always talk about when you're with friends around the campfire?

Billy that rule is because politics and religion have caused some heated arguments and hurt feelings and I personally support the rule.Ronnie

If you talk too much politics and religion, somebody eventually gets thrown into the campfire or hit upside the head with a stick of firewood.

I talk about religion a lot (and not usually my own) around the campfire because that is what I am studying for a profession (pastor, university professor of religion/biblical studies).  Politics are not my cup of tea, however.  I think it's fairly safe to say that there are many good people, who are very intelligent and rational who differ from each other from one extreme to another especially in the realms of religion and politics.  In order to establish a more cohesive community of primitive archers, we need to look beyond that which divides us to that which unites us.  Hip Hip for Censorship!

Billy if only you were here to see the life and death of the "anything else" section....seems like everything posted on it was stretched and turned into religion or politics...the rule is def. a good thing trust us lol

And there are a lot of things that get evaporated before most of y'all ever see them. Around your own campfire, you are usually with your friends who are likely to be culturally very similar to you, but on here we have members from who knows how many countries, cultures, and religions around the world. As MRKinsey said, I would rather talk about the things we have in common than the things that we don't agree on.

Yep, O.K. around a real campfire, not so good on the net, you need eye to eye comunication on those kinda subjects

How about when you get beat up.  Is it still fun then?

Fights are never a good thing when the people involved know how to make sharp, pointy instruments of death.  Never a good thing (ouch).
