LOL, this site STARTED with salary enquiries! We can't ban those!
As for the few who do ruin the topics, well, as hard as it may be, we need to learn to ignore them (ahem HIM) as well.
And the only people allowed to make sarcastic comments about EVERYTHING is Charan and I. It's expected of us, and I die if I don't make fun of something very very serious at least once a day. :P

my opinion leave it even add more topic
"Born optimist nothing can keep me too low for so long"
It is not the topics that bring chaos .......... it is some of the people who are posting the comments.
I think we all know the ones most likely to spoil a good debate .......... regardless of topic. It is a shame to the posters getting involved in a serious dicussion/debate that they have to have it spoiled by the odd moron!!!
However, some posters have more deeper values on certain subjects and can be easily offended by a sometimes unintentional (or intentional if made by a moron:-) glib comment.
I dont see why any of the topics mentioned cannot be dealt with on QL ---- sensibly.
i dont do the above topic ... as gypsy said ... if yo dont like the topic just ignore it. I dont even read those. Cant be bother to argue about those stuffs to people that you done even know who they are.... Wasting time ...
Well....to that I say, it's an online forum, if you are finding what people say that offensive maybe you need to look at yourself and stay off the forum, or stick to the broken heart, happy lucky jokey posts.
Why should topics be banned, theres heaps of thread you can read and discuss and if its something you dont like, just ignore it...nobody is forcing anyone to read anything...Its always the religion ones that get out of control because some people like to argue for the sake of it, let them enjoy going around in circles, who care, just open another thread that interests you. No big deal.
I think QL is pretty much like a modern talking society sings like the rappers with rude wordings in it. :P So if they ban the crappers I mean the rappers! QL will become boring. :P joke!
That's the point thexonic, some of us simply enjoy the argument, or the discussion. And well there are a few (really one) person who tends to devolve into name calling, the rest of us, while we get heated, do generally keep it pretty tame.
the problem with these topics... instead of contributing and learning more, it goes beyond its limitation, when it gets way too personal...and once you get too personal it is already hard for one user to back out...and it gets ugly in the end...
i don't know how healty debates, remains "healthy" until the end with these topics....

It shouldn't be a case of banning those topics completely, but they should only allow posts that have a valid, Qatar Living related points to debate.
Just posting something about the latest bombing or killing in another country, or a random quote from the quran, or an article about homosexuality, offers nothing to the community and is only ever going to lead to an argumentative and abusive thread.
There are other sites where those sorts of things can be posted.
