I personally like the argumentative Political Threads not for me, but for others, I think it's great. Because as a JW you werent allowed to discuss, or have a vocal opinion regarding politics. Now that people feel passionately about the subjects and are free to discuss them I think it's a wonderful outlet. For the most part anyway.
I for one though, dont find anything theraputic in arguing online. I would rather have a positive energy. Discussing is great though. This board has really been a great outlet for me. I find myself more at peace with life in general discussing subjects that dont usually get brought up in day to day life.
