The biggest debate killer is religion. And politcal systems, where international diplomacy is concerned.
Any topic can be discussed, but when it comes to religion, "people's beliefs must be respected".
So you won't hear an American president stating a fact such as: "Most suicide terrorists are muslims". Or "Communism is a repressive regime".
Religion and political systems are just topics, like euthanisia or abortion, but even the truth will cause an reaction strong enough to shut it down.
As for forums, as long as the discussion is civil, on-topic and not breaking any rules, then there is reason the thread should be closed.
