    Why is the Off-Topic full of Political debate?

    I don't know why but to me its just not fun to discuss. Its kind of boring imo.

    Then find a topic that you do like to discuss?

    And there's a lot of political debate here because this is the most appropriate forum for it.

    Because politics are important are there is no other discussion forum where it fits.

    I try to create them and they get buried by the political debate threads

    It mirrors mass media. The major media have figured out that it is a lot cheaper to just talk about mostly political things, and people get really excited about it because of strong political alignments (so lower costs and higher sales / ad revenue). Since the news cycles are full of political news, you see that reflected here.

    I don't think your track record with threads like "if you were to kiss someone from the same sex who would it be?" , "would you abort your mentally disabled baby?" and "do you believe a man should hit woman?" are any better.

    Try harder.

    If you don't like the discussion then post a (for you) interesting thread and try to encourage debate.

    Sorry you think politics is uninteresting though; I think it is one of the better contact sports that has come out of culture.

    The Right isn't universally bad. The Left isn't universally good. The Left isn't universally bad. The Right isn't universally good. Legal doesn't equal moral. Moral doesn't equal legal. Illegal doesn't equal immoral. Immoral doesn't equal illegal.

    Have a nice day.

    It is usually political debate or something sexual, or shit about some that needs relationship advice.

    Discussing about a powerful figure that doesn't know you exist just doesnt interests me.

    I find the nth discussion about first sexual experiences, virgins discussing their attempts to get laid and stupid relationship problems that really shouldn't be discussed publically (tm) to be stimulating content. It's like opening up a teenager magazine here sometimes.
