Hey peeps,

This forum is for things not related to Mindstorms. Some of things you might want to discuss here are:
  • Poodle grooming techniques
  • Your favourite coffee
  • How you fixed your car's distributor using nothing but dental floss and a paperclip
  • Post pictures of your impressive newspaper clippings collection
Just keep it clean or it will be removed.

LOL, yes and no. What I meant, is exactly what Helmut said ;) ("politics always are dirty - so NEVER clean ;)"), and I also want to know if they are allowed :).

Not unless you want to unleash a sh!tstorm of opinions in the process. I guess politics and religion should be off-topic since they're way to prone to flame-warring.

Uh, explain what you want :? I know they are "off-topic", that I why I want to know if they can be discussed in the "Off-Topic" forum :D.

I like discussing politics with people from other parts of the world. For example, Helmut and I had a great time sharing political opinions through PM ;). There will never be a time on earth that everyone will have the same opinions, I understand, but I like to see other viewpoints.

Dear Mattalen37
There will never be a time on earth that everyone will have the same opinions, I understand, but I like to see other viewpoints.
There was one time, when the first humanlike manage to overcome it's instincts, to deliver his first own ideas (How fun should it be to play with LEGO! :lol: ). And perhaps another time, when our humankind will become obsolete and the last man on earth (or anywhere else, perhaps a big starship roaming a second earth, after we completely destroy the original) will die in a last whisper.

Notice I said "on earth". I know at one time there was only one man on earth, and so he obviously had no human opinion rivals. However, there never will be a time that there is only one man left on earth ever in the future.
