Can we start moving dull politics into speakers' corner?

Ironic, isn’t it.

Creationists think they've won the argument because the other side is sick of dealing with them.
What kind of double-digit IQ must you have for that point to have gone over your head?
You can't say you're sick of dealing with someone just because you have no argument. If you believe in Brexit then argue for it. Tell folk why it's so great. Sell it to them. Skulking off and creating troll threads instead is a bit crap.
Are you able to communicate without throwing childish insults around?

Creationists are emotionally invested, irrational, dishonest, and suffer from rampant, uncontrollable confirmation bias. No amount of evidence to the contrary of their preconceived ideas will make any difference, hence people get sick of dealing wit them.
Again, another incredibly simple point that is beyond you.
Skunky pal, we can't go on like this. You know clever folk don't throw insults around so readily, right?
Anyway, what you describe sounds exactly like the Brexit cult.
I do wonder if there should be a third discussion forum:
SC for the serious discussions
GD for general stuff... including discussions of news stories etc.. that aren't really serious enough for SC
and why not: LC - Low content - for, well, low content threads...
people who just want to read jokey/banal stuff without having to come across any threads concerning news events or politics etc.. can then avoid it completely
Eh? Why should a thread like that be put in SC?
Ostensibly SC is for serious discussions, granted two of the main threads also have a lot of low content posts from people who just want to vent about Trump/Brexit -. post an article and/or short comment etc...
topics like the above are not really serious and general discussion is for anything general - frankly if people don't want to read a thread about SJWs then no one is forcing them to, ironically some of the people who complain about such threads post more than once in them and take part in arguing with the opinions of others about the subject matter
and the outrage over the outrage over the outrage.... like people moaning about threads about SJWs moaning - it sort of becomes a bit recursive

Because some crazy opinions are seemingly taking over everything and it'll only stop if someone does something about it. Doing nothing just doesn't seem like an option anymore.
That's seems to be the motivation at each level though... thus you get the recursive moaning
if it really bothers you then perhaps just ignore those threads and read another thread - or try starting more of the sort of threads you want to see
after all everyone is able to create a thread and if people aren't interested in a thread it drops off the first page - so if you don't like/aren't interested in a thread then don't reply to it and it will drop down the list quicker, if you want more of a particular type of thread then start creating your own and see if people choose to reply or not....
if you're actively replying to threads you don't really have much interest in or want to see less of then it is somewhat self defeating as you prolong the time the thread is near the top of the list for and increase the chances of yet more posters replying

Ignoring it doesn't work. They don't stop. Someone has to stop them.

Please. Then maybe he'll find Magnolia's replies less condescending.
Pretty much. They can Trump it up in blissful ignorance.
which indicates that plenty of people are happy to discuss the topics...
no one is forcing you to read through threads you're not interested in, if no one is interested in a thread then it drops down the list... you're free to make your own threads too, though if people aren't interested in your threads then they too will drop down the list - you can't dictate what threads people should or should't be interested in

Just letting you know that it wasn't wasted on me and I enjoyed it a great deal

Low content, low effort posting is Reddit territory. I'm not sure that's a place we want to visit although kudos for thinking of different ways of approaching the problem. Um, that was sincere for new players / Foxeye

Well I love reading your guys pretend to be pseudo intellectual and basically put down each other, within the ruleset of the forum.
Which has become progressively ruled by a more iron fist of un-tolorance.
It helps me keep up with the UK news and remind me of all the crap I left behind or few things I still miss, boohoo Paxo stuffing, boohoo.
I say keep it how it is or even get rid of SC. Let all the nonsense fill one space. Allow people to self moderate, if they don't like it don't read it.
Post more fun stuff, then watch it get removed for banality. Too many subsections make jack a dull forum.

Light hearted stuff gets pushed to the specialist forums, so what's left for GD?
Even a lot of 'how to life' is covered by the careers bit now.
And, I've mentioned this before, when you can post a fully-GD thread about a chap getting a boner at a naked cycle ride and it gets moved to die in the weirdo bicycle forum, then it's a bit demotivating to put the effort in.
