We have the ability to scroll past things that don't interest
us .
This is the site where like minded people meet others with the same interests ,some happen to like politics .

I myself hate being cussed at by strangers and trying to get them to see my views in text ,so I avoid them ,but
I support their right to be heard .

Its a place where everyone can have a voice and an opinion

Not only the ones that think like me ,or you

Some hate I throw grammar to the wind ,some don't mind
Thats why I love the site ,we don't all have to think alike to be here ,,we can scroll on by things were not interested in ,or that we know will turn into a battle

Just because the majority agrees sometimes
is not proof they are right
just at the moment ,they are with people who think like they do ,

the site served its purpose ,,

It's why I don't post politics and religion anymore.

I don't hate the topics, I just hate how easily out of hand it can become

@SW-User
Names start being thrown around, than I guess i get involved... I love political ideology and discussion.

SW-User

@TheeOriginalAmazingsEXLover Religion is awesome to study. I love it. I can't debate it because it automatically becomes a personal issue.

Politics can be fun but people are triggered right off the bat.

So I just stopped all together.

@jetpack lol

Myzery · 41-45, F

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Can I pick poison?

VeronicaPrincess · 61-69

Yes. And I get tired of people who jump in (on questions they didn't ask) to create an argument when you answered a simple question in a way that didn't correspond with their political indoctrination.

@VeronicaPrincess like this response?
That's why there is a response feature. Otherwise what's the point?

VeronicaPrincess · 61-69

@jetpack You weren't condescending in this response, and I do see your point. My reply is directed primarily at those who are itching for an argument, and aggressively drag you into one.

jetpack

@VeronicaPrincess I thought of that about 2 seconds after I replied. I know what you mean.

They bring out the worse in people...most are created to start arguments and they won't accept anyone's opinion unless it's the same as theirs....

JeanAnna · F

I'm sick of politics, period! And especially Trump.

bijouxbroussard · F

No. I contribute to many of them. Politics is a part of the current events many people like to discuss. But I prefer when it doesn’t get ugly, and I definitely prefer it to discussions regarding religion.

CharlieZ · 70-79, M

@bijouxbroussard You are right, my friend.
But religious debates at SW, specially those about Religión vs Science, are all hiddenly political ones.

bijouxbroussard · F

@CharlieZ That is true, my friend.

I like political discussions. I don't like talking with people who think it is a battle to win. It becomes futile watching their mental masturbation. Not my thing

Nyloncapes · 61-69, M

Yes some of the time especially the ones keep going on about trump have they not got any else to discuss or do

GBPackersFan · M

@MorbidCynic I'll assume sarcasm and humor are also ignored

MorbidCynic · F

Yes they are. You’re not very funny. @jetpack

@MorbidCynic fair enough

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

I am mostly disappointed how it focuses so much on American politics almost exclusively.

TheeOriginalAmazingsEXLover · M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
Whose fault is that?

DonHobag · M

Political posts should be catagorized at "Political". avoid the catagory

bijouxbroussard · F

@DonHobag Many [b]are[/b] posted under “Politics” (although this one is [b]not[/b]). I wish (and have suggested) that SW would allow people to exclude topic headings they know they won’t want to discuss so those questions won’t end up in their feeds.
