It is a perfectly viable question and it is asked, because I wish to hear other's views so I can enhance or disregard what thoughts I have myself, and this is the Politics and Religion forum where such things are discussed. People's inability to hold proper conversation is a reflection on them, not the question. Furthermore, I believe where there is contention, it must be examined and talked out, as without communication what hope have we ever to understand anything in life beyond what is soft, fluffy and palatable. And just because certain subjects in the past have caused disruption, it is by no means saying the subject re-examined will follow along the same lines to the same conclusion, as people change, they mature and make peace with the things that once haunted them. Even with those that hold to past ideas, they serve to educate others in what they say, a window on the past compared to the present and a judgement made open to further analysis, it is how we learn.
