Politics

That's a good cause. I avoid politics and religion discussions as much as I can.

I never heard this song before but I think talking about politics often turns into more of an argument than a conversation.

Politics are what they are. Politics, and things can get heated at times. BUT, as many people say politics do not affect their lives, nothing can be farther from the truth. When you look at countries like Cuba, Venezuela, many Muslim countries, and others, and you see the pain and the misery there...being involved becomes all the more important to ensure our own lives are not affected in this way.

Discussing politics can become very frustrating. I have my opinion but I'm more than willing to keep an open mind, hear the opinions of others, and possibly adjust my opinion accordingly. It can be very frustrating when people don't want to acknowledge actual facts and acknowledge them. But I guess that's what makes the world go round.

Politics is the most controversial topic. It's once defined as a science of fooling people. Do you agree?

It is funny you should post this at this time. In the past couple of days, I responded to a post that looked benign only to find out the writer had an agenda. Yes, it was hidden when I started, but when I stated my honest opinion to what he posted, rather than bothering to read what I stated, he stated he had no time to read my response but spent the next two hundred plus words telling me his opinion. I did not think this had been a political discussion but his opinion clearly stated that for him it was. In my opinion, if you are not willing to give others the space to respond, the courtesy to read their response, then by no means do you have the right to propound your political views at them.
