Debate forums always suffer from hyperthreadjack syndrom (HTJS) Making a seperate forum for contrived solutions to the debated problems would themselves suffer from debate stemming from the solution and then into other aspects of the problem the solution is meant to cure. For the political discussion forum the difficulty in avoiding threadjacking is so immense that no one ever considers it a threadjack (except in extreme cases such as when roker decides the thread discussing exports from china should also include conspiracy theories involving chemical trails behind airplanes piloted by jimmy hoffa and the real JFK, who are up there sparying us with aerosolized elephant dung mixed with thin mint icecream.) For the most part it's best that things remain on the subject of the debated item but still reserving the ability to walk outside the line of conversation at hand, otherwise we'd have to make about 100 threads per single issue at point.
