By extension to what _Diceman_ said about race, immigration debates often get locked down too. But I thnk that’s more due to the jerkish nature of some of these posts, than it is due to the topic itself. ---

**robertliquori** > [@](#): > > I’ll stick filesharing in too, since those tend to be stillborn. Aww, c’mon.
