-sigh-, I hate spam. But I love a good argument. Sometimes good arguments can get into sub categories of the main subject. But some people don't read the whole thread carefully, they might think it's just random spam.

EX, does not actually exist: On the subject of "what do you think will happen in the next 50 years". It is perfectly legitimate to make a sub argument on who is the super power now and who are the potential ones. These sub arguments make up the main argument. I noticed that sometimes people who don't really read all the thread/comments just assume this is unrelated to the main subject and off-topic and lock it. So I think we should explicitly make exception to the lock thread rule that if a sub category argument is going to contribute to the whole argument, then it is not to be locked. That's just a suggestion though.

I think it is exactly the topic. I see nothing wrong.

Upset over the "World Ending 2012?" thread getting locked too, huh?

Just because someone's head was chopped off doesn't mean they're dead. That's just silly.

uhhh, not particularly, this is actually an inspiration from another forum where sub category arguments are allowed. And I saw how much better the arguments were once the sub arguments were used to support the main argument.

This is true.

Respect the mods!! Their decisions are final!

Take it up with the admins if you dislike how things are run by their set rules.
