Why do people debate on AtWar?

Half the time I log onto AtWar there are people arguing and bickering in the main lobby chat about a variety of topics, people in the forums try to bring up arguments for religion, politics, and history.

Trying to "debate" on an online game like this is pretty much going on Call of Duty and asking people for their opinions there. You're going to get bullshit.

People are free to try to express and argue for their beliefs, don't get me wrong; but don't be surprised when a bunch of dissidents, trolls, and morons decide they want to join the fun.

There are so many better places to talk about these things, 4chan's /pol/ board would even be a better start.
