Should politics be discussed here on SW?

What is your opinion on people who constantly make political posts? Do they disturb the peace?

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.

@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.

@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.
