POLL: On Politics

[Hollis]

No problem, feel free to discuss your POV on the topic here. I avoid talking politics, but there are times that I try to convince people to look at my stance on it.

Looking at a stance is not the same as accepting that stance. It has been often said, not to discuss religion or politics. There is a commonality of intolerance and trying to convert the other person. For some it is a obsessive compulsive need that must be fed.

I'm uninteresting in discussing politics with people.
But I am interesting in telling people when they are wrong.

I do have many friends who are politically in line with my thoughts. I try not to talk at work.

True. And it is really worrying to see, or believe how much worse things are becoming in that regard. Instant access to information, some reliable but much of it not and out of context, leaves people with quicker assumptions instead of willing to ask questions and understand and form an educated opinion.

There 12345

I admit to being old and stupid. Could someone tell me what 12345 means? I mean, without being too brutal?

I am very interested in politics.
I am very disinterested in discussing politics. Bad for my blood pressure.

I am not into the topics because.... THOSE POLITICIANS ARE LYING.

I feel that there should be a US Elections sub-forum which could go from now untill two or three months after the elections.
