i personally prefer to discuss issues that affect the world, affect people, and so forth, but while not everyone will agree with everyone thats life, you have to engage in a structure of accepting views and drawing upon them to show your views forum rules, moderators, play the rest out.
if you cannot adhere to it then inevitibly you will not last long on a current affairs forum.

I agree, but the skill of debating with self-control and moderation (which is what you're describing) is sadly lacking in most people. All too often it starts out pleasant enough and quickly degrades into little more than a slanging match in which all perspective has been lost and opposing sides are trying to win the argument at all costs. It becomes personal. All very ugly.
