Political Threads: No Dice.

[Butkus1970]

I'm glad for this; I despise politics. Too often if 'you' want to discuss politics, what 'you're' really saying is that you want to jam 'your' slanted political opinion down someone else's throat. There is no discussion. There is no expectation of compromise. There is only whether or not 'your' side is victorious in the political scrum, and the if 'you' lose, how that can be spun to look the least damaging while at the same time finding some basis to blame the other side for being amoral.

Excellent post.

Something my mom said that stuck with me, "Never talk religion or politics with people you want to stay friends with."
