Do you discuss politics?

Hi Kala! I do not like discussing politics at all, beause I've observed that people get passionate about the party they support and do not want to hear other's point of view. Nothing is good or bad, thinking make it so. I think if the lives of people run smoothly, any Government is good. There is no use of being judgemental and criticizing politicians.

I don't know enough about politics to have a discussion about it with anyone. Like you I know people that can go on and on about it. I really don't beleive that our vote makes any difference except maybe at a local level. Even then I have no idea who is who.

No. I do not discuss politics. No use talking about a bunch of people and their work who are hell bent on making their lives rich without any concern for us.The time spent on it can be of use in improving our lives to some extent. “Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.”

Hi dear,How are you? I am back and starting with your discussion. To be very frank I am not interested in politics. I think politicians are selfish (I agree there must be exemptions) and if I heard somebody speaking politics I prefer to stay away from them. I have noticed one thing; people are trying to highlight their party’s achievements only.

Yes!! We can discuss about politics and no one can object if we talk about it over here in this forum.After all politics is the most important aspects in our day to day life.. It is everywhere and in every sphere of our life. Little knowledge in this aspects is forgivable..But you should be aware about everything that is happening around you which is effecting you either positively or negatively..This negative impacts leds to sudden out brust of emotions.It is quiet natural.

I have seen people who enjoy discussing politics whole day. My Dad is like that. My parents are into politics. My mom enjoys it for some time, but she can't stand it for a long time. I think mostly guys like to discuss about politics a lot. I discuss politics once in a while, especially if it is the time of election.

I avoid political discussions on myLot and in my daily life. Everyone has a choice and an opinion. I choose not to share mine. I do vote when we have a presidential election. I can recall my father telling me when I was much younger never to discuss politics or religion as it will always cause conflicts. He was right. I would rather sit back and listen to others discuss/argue about politics.

I do not like to. Like you. Rather i like to discuss things that are related to everyday life. I like to discuss what is happening around me.

I read a lot of genre topics, and that includes politics. However, I don't like to contribute on this topic because I have my own reserved thoughts and comments and my analysis keeps changing each time. However, I do try not to be ignorant and read up on as much as I can in order to keep with the current affairs. I am striving for a peaceful aura and environment but I do know what goes on. Something like that.. thanks for starting this discussion.. ;)

I hate politics, I do not discuss about politics but I work for a politician!!!! I just keep myself aware of what is going on in the country because my job depends on it but never discuss politics anytime....either in office or with friends.

I am absolutely ignorant regarding politics .But there are plenty of people both males and females who get so much absorbed when the topic of politics is raised .While travelling we can find that the topic of the present politics brings the gents closer while discussing it.I feel that the politicians are no longer true to their profession.So I cant bring myself to enjoy discussing politics.No longer a Gandhi or a Nehru can be found in this world of material benefits.

Nope. Politics are a personal belief like religion and I don't care to get into a discussion with someone who just wants to rant or inflict their belief on someone else.

I think just the way u think,, we can't do nothing about it,, BUT we must be aware of what is going on around us,,as everything happens according to the policies made by such people who we put there,, We like it or not,,

We do discuss about politics, I mean the politician. We commend the good ones and hate the bad ones. But I know from myself that being a politician is really a hard responsibility. But that doesn't bring my blood to its boiling point.

Politics and religion are touchy areas. I know so little about the first subject that entering a debate about it would only make me look stupid, besides people get so irate when opinions differ! Religion I have tackled and managed to upset some but at least we agreed to disagree in a civil manner. It is a personal choice whether politics interests a person, I tend to agree with you kalav, to me it is not worth my time and energy, don’t get me wrong I vote and care about my country but at the end of the day it is not enough of an interest to warrant a heated discussion or possibly an argument.

We discuss politics when there are issues among politicians or in time of elections. When there is corruption especially when done by some of the government officials. We can't avoid discussing it especially during elections. As we have to evaluate the candidates record if what good things he contributed or he will be contributing to the country. We review performances of old traditional politicians so we could come up to a decision of reelecting them or not. Just a healthy discussions however but avoiding heated arguments.

I do try to avoid political conversations for the reason you listed, some people just get way to emotional. I used to know someone who would start to lose it no matter if you agreed with him or not, and if you openly disagreed with him, or contradicted him, he would blow a gasket. If someone starts a political discussion with me, I listen and politely find a way to change the subject.

Yup! I want to discuss about politics. We need politics in our government. We need good politicians that is why we need to discuss it to clarify some vague words in politics. I like to talk about politics, and if possible I want to debate with politicians to bolder the politicians wrong understanding about politics. Politicians is dirty not the politics that they play...

I do have to say i debate politics alot but not by choice, its so opinioniated that its certainly almost always gonna start an arguement. Theres only a few times i will discuss something about politics but i try to stay away from it. Its like religion, theres so much controversy behind the subject matter people take it to heart. anything that has to deal with there faith or beliefs is a testy subject to tread on. once your views do NOT meet theres you will certainly clash. But im pretty hot headed and argue for the sake of argueing at times. I know its evil but i cant help it heated arguements are so much fun and are great at passing time =D!

yes we do here in our home, father loves to debate mother with regards to president here in our country, including the legislators, the congressmen, mayors, vice mayors, city councilors, chief captain of our barangay, almost all politicians, they would end up when everybody is sleeping. It causes trouble in many times because no body would surrender, nor mother or father. During elections since we are on democratic country everybody has his own right, some participate while others do not even register for vote. well things do not change even if rallies and boycott is rampant here in our place. Politics could be a healthy topic in some point.
