What's The Most Tedious Off Topic Discussion On MusicBanter

Jeez, this is pretty tough. I'll probably go with religion because there's a pretty small amount of people on here who are actually religious, and most of the debate is between fellow atheists. The American Political system would be next on the list.

But they're discussions that take place in religion threads, so they can't be considered off topic.

[Urban Hat€monger ?]

I meant off topic as non music related rather than inside individual threads.

Definitely the American Political system. On one side you have the Americans who are pretty much clueless, and on the other side you have the British people who are also clueless, but try to act like they know what they're talking about by just dissing our political system as much as possible.

I think the sexual experience thread is the most disappointingly boring thread of the entire forum

I dunnae come on here to talk about politics and would be out of my depth if i did, but it feels like some of the more popular lounge threads detract from the, er, music banter. Like when you are eating your fist with boredom and the only posting is going on in a thread about Kant's balls or Obama's peace prize - if i want that i'll go and read the corresponding Guardian article and watch the usual schisms form in the comments boxes. Current affairs (especially US politics) is available 24/7 at the push of a button, it's all anybody talks about in my real life (if you are british 'current affairs' principally means the f*cking weather) and nobody has a f*cking clue about music... this is the void that MB fills on good days.
Having said that it strengthens the community to have a diverse set of topics available and i like the film thread, so i shouldnt complain really =P But there are some prominent long-time members whose music tastes i still have not worked out which says something. you have yer lounge lizards and yer music people and that's always been the way

For awhile it seemed like the sexual experience thread was spilling out into half the threads in the lounge, so I'll go with that. I very rarely bother with the current events forum so I'm sure my opinion would be different if I actually chose to deal with that mess.

not to mention creepy as fuck considering the age of active members on this site.

Religion: This topic would be far more interesting if we had more religious (nutters) members on here.
Oojay springs to mind, although his religious rants usually took place in just about every thread they shouldn't have.
He'd have definitely spiced up the religion threads.
Always good for a laugh.

Sex (And Those Who Never Shut Up About It): There's enough sex in music without the need of a sex thread.
Best avoided unless for taking the piss out of those with interweb egos, tits and or, dicks bigger than the Albert Hall.

The American Political System: Like religion, arguing about politics is always a huge waste of time.
The church and the politicians never truly listen to real people in real life and anyone who thinks they can change the world by ranting in a music forum with people who, mostly, have only half an idea of what they are actually talking about is a bigger waste of time than arguing about religion.

Video Games Fanboys:

Other (Please Specify): The most tedious of topics on MusicBanter has to be the genre Nazis.
And there are non more mind numbingly tedious than the ones who argue over what bands are and or not, emo.

Emo elitists take the biscuit.

A question. Why does almost every emo thread title begin with a lower case letter?
