I propose creating the following long-life threads, similar to the "Mother" and the "Rainbow":

• Religion and atheism (fundamental debate)
• Religion and atheism (details)
• World wars and pacifism (fundamental debate)
• World wars and pacifism (details)
• US domestic politics (...)
• Homosexuality, same sex marriage (...)
• etc. - you get the idea.

Those who are really interested can stick to the "details" variants; anything "fundamentally" controversial found in these will be moved to the other thread. What do you think?
