This board is about the sharing of ideas, plain and simple.
To gain perspective on what could be talked about, think of it in terms of, say, themes in a story. What we talk about here are things to think about, and to share our ideas and perspectives to come to greater understandings and conclusions about our world and the way it operates.
This being said, there are a great many things which qualify, so you should feel free to share your thoughts on whatever is on your mind, as well as feel welcome to tackle the subjects that others bring up. No one will discriminate against you for sharing a belief or concern, as at the root of every concern or belief is an important cause worth the respect of each one of us.
But this is not a safe haven for ideas, so be ready. We want to tackle problems and find new ways of looking at the world, not just display those problems and our current perspectives. It is important that, though you share your ideas, you also have enough detachment to open an idea up for investigation - not merely display.
That is not to say, though, that sharing an idea is not the most important thing you can do on this forum. It is. For any insight or contribution we respect you. For in the exchange of ideas we find - sometimes in the most unexpected places - new ideas, ones which can find a way into the work each of us does as an artist, in whatever field or craft we've dedicated ourselves to.
