There's nothing wrong with making posts on a political note.
What IS wrong is use of terms like Nazi; libtard; etc which are both insulting and make the poster look like some sort of extremist rather than one with a fair view.
As with any other subject. The second you resort to insult rather than logic, you've lost the argument .

@Picklebobble2 My sentiments too. I was subjected to name calling, not one of the ones you mentioned, but very insulting from someone who doesn't know me at all.
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
@Zoranna Always the same when you have a political leader making 'strong' (and i use that term somewhat ironically) statements about those who oppose the view they put forward.
Zoranna · F
@Picklebobble2 I know which political leader you're referring to and I'm not a fan at all. That's what got that person so riled up. Doesn't really affect me though, I'm Australian so maybe I should not have commented at all. The ironic thing is I wasn't commenting to her, but someone else and she just butted in with her delusional reasoning and insulted me. Oh well, that's life.

Of course it should be. Everyone has a choice whether to engage in discussions on this forum and sometimes we might actually learn from each other.
Abuse isn't okay though and that's the problem here. People forget that they are actually allowed to have different viewpoints and that others don't need to alter theirs to match their own.

@WelshLovely Abso-freaking-lutely. 👍🏻

@WelshLovely I agree with your comments actually. I was called a "Moron" by someone simply because she didn't agree with my views. I ignored her, but it was completely unnecessary hence my reluctance to get involved.

I avoid it as much as possible, it just creates more separatism and division...and that's the last thing all of us need.
Zoranna · F
I think it should be avoided, although it doesn't particularly bother me. I just ignore any questions or stories I'm not in the mood for. Most people, in my opinion, come here for some light hearted fun; they can get all the politics they want or need from the mainstream media.
Miram · 31-35, F
Of course they do not disturb the peace. To each their interests.
I think people should be able to post what they want. I don't agree with all of it, it doesn't bother me tho. I just ignore them or block them.

I think politics is a mighty acceptable topic to explore here, it might get some upset, but .... that's part of the point...:)

I just ignore them, if they're occurring too frequently I'll change which question categories I'm looking at.

I think it's fine for people to discuss politics on here. I don't typically join in debates because it's not something I'm well-versed in. But it's fine, of course.
bijouxbroussard · F
Generally I only initiate political posts under Politics or specific groups; people have the option of avoiding those groups or that category. But I'll respond to someone else's post wherever I find it.

I think people should talk about whatever they want to talk about. If it gets folk all upset well tough shit.

I'd rather have everyone arguing.. then not talking about it at all.. that's how we got into this shit mess. Leader complacency...
