What are the most controversial topics on your forum?

On most forums where I have been a regular long time member, the most controversial topics were ones surrounding politics, religion or anything to do with gun ownership or death penalty.

On your favorite forum (even if that is your own), what topics are always heated and draw the most impassioned responses?

Anything government, will sure stir up the pot...lol

Most definitely politics, war and religion, as the three are combined for so many reasons. You can't seem to talk about one and not the others. Culture and politics go hand in hand, and is different in every country. Some countries more so than others, and because of the various views of what's right and wrong (culturally, morally, spiritually, politically; even individually, etc) it tends to lead into the discussions of war. Civil Rights issues, Human Rights issues, etc are all brought forward in these types of debates because it's all part the movement to make things "better".

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, however I honestly believe they do exist and happen more than what people realize. I don't trust the government at all. Nothing surprises me...lol

Parenting is a huge hot topic as well. Especially when discussing discipline. This tends to lead into arguing about the younger generation (Generation "Y" = The Entitled Generation), and "Nature vs Nurture".

I LOVE reading and learning others opinions in these kinds of debates. It opens my eyes a little more each time I read. I am a very philosophical person, so I observe and ponder the possibilities What are the most controversial topics on your forum?What are the most controversial topics on your forum?

It's a rare forum that can handle a debates section. You need constant moderation and have to toe the line between knowing what is productive conversation and what is just language intended to incite others to anger.

Any discussion where a member is angry could be considered a controversial topic as it allows people to express strong emotion and invites others to respond in kind.

During the election period, it is expected that the community will be abuzz with political topics particularly about their candidates. I’m sure you have seen a heated discussion on the presidential candid They are a mix of negative and positive on both sides but what I got curious on are the responses that sometimes are out of line. I’d say that the presidential election is one topic that is always pregnant with controversial issues that are old and even new. Well, some of those issues are still lingering until now.

I don't own a forum at this moment. However, I once had a forum which I never launched publically. These days, I am again thinking to start a forum with a strong plan. having said that I am a regular participant in numerous forums. Medical marijuana is one of the controversial topics on a health forum where I participate. Another controversial topic is a gay relationship.
