Eh, these things are something that can quickly get out of hand, and yet banning or locking them seems a tad extreme. While many people would rather not discuss this stuff, others really love to discuss philosophy, however a few immature remarks by a random visitor and then you've got a full-scale flame war going on.

I propose allowing a moderated sub-forum in chit-chat. Open discussion could then happen for the people who want to talk about that stuff, while flame wars can be avoided.

I personally really love to talk about that stuff, but I've seen it turn into a flame-war a few times, which isn't very pretty. But kept within reason, it's a lot of fun to discuss.
