Although it is a bit far fetched, I'd ideally have topics stay purely philosophical. Philosophy is removed when people post what they
think or
believe. Truthly though, the point of philosophy is to remove ideals and beliefs so the topic at hand can be seen without predjudace.
There's no problem with posting these things in the Philosophy forum. I can understand your point though- too often posts here turn into value discussions not unlike those found in Politics, Living, Sexuality, etc. Nevertheless, if you're looking for it, you're more likely to get a true philosophical discussion here than in any other forum.
