Is it asking too much, for wanting people to act civil when it comes to discussing sensitive topics?

Such as race, religion, and politics?

I think it is necessary to find common ground.

Not necessarily. However, some people cannot control their emotional response to certain subjects being discussed.

@TheunderdogofNY I think part of it is due micro agressions in these kinds of conversations.

I don't believe in micro aggressions. I believe in having a conversation and discussing different viewpoints. Agree to disagree and giving respect as it's given to you. Being overly sensitive will get you no where in life.

@TheunderdogofNY if that's what you want you can have it. Lol I have conversation like that with someone. He said I was being overly sensitive. Okay i toned down. We an intellectual fight with good polite insults and all.

Ethically, the right thing to ask, specially if all involved do the same.
Pragmatically, to ask for it seems a lost cause.
Sorry.

Too much to ask on this site!
@JessBalance Sure seems that way.
@latinbutterfly Especially where US politics and gun control are concerned. There's huge polarisation. Though I shouldn't single out Americans. Or I may start another polarised argument!
@JessBalance Yep, be very careful where you tread!

Nope. If your someone with the opposite point of view buy them a beer and have a chat

It's way too much to ask. People can't talk about their feelings.

Not really. Everyone's capable of that.
