Col,
That is why it is HERE.... The Loony Bin is, among other things, a garbage dump. I saw this thread originally in Off Topic - and then it disappeared... I am seeing a lot of threads that I thought had been deleted - but they were sent here.
So in reality, we CAN talk about religion and politics - HERE IN THE BIN. This really is the place for us. But I agree - this thread is trash, but the only way to get rid of it is to let it drop off the page.
I wouldn't have posted in it now but I wanted to explain about the Bin and what we can and can't do here...
