Yeah, there are lots of threads that are closed. And for good reason.
1) exhausting topics
2) speculative in nature (pricing and future models)
3) political
4) *ahem* 2nd amendment
5) general dumbness
It's best we steer clear of these and engage in discussions that are in the spirit of the forum. Otherwise, we run the risk of turning off a lot of members by allowing 'such nonsense' to perpetuate.
