In the H of C, the Speaker controls the proceedings and has chucked out those who step way out of line, others have simply been rebuked and people trying to go way off topic have been silenced..... Some of the idiotic things said by Members have been howled down by the rest but we can't do those things here so the H of C is hardly comparable!

Now a discussion with points for and against the subject by many different posters are fine, often highly controversial but very interesting nevertheless. (Who dares start a thread on UFOs or Religion?)
