I don't like it.

People here devalue human lives so quickly over trivial things. It makes me not trust them even if they were on my side of beliefs and opinions.
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Miram Absolutely agreed.

I am judging you right now. You could've had it in your wb instead but oh well, you're missing out on my awesome gifs
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Miram Wanna be friends then? You can post all the gifs you want
Miram · 31-35, F
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Oh I will be posting more than GIFs alright 😁 Just remember you asked for this.

If someone is a Trump supporter, they're immediately trash in my book. Not sorry.

@bijouxbroussard Multimedia is hell of a thing, I probably consume as much US media as you.
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic But you don’t [b]live[/b] here. It would be like saying “I know everything that happens inside your home because I’ve spoken with your neighbors“.
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@bijouxbroussard You're right about that, I'd probably visit when I have the opportunity.

SO very well put, there's no need to be agressive, abusive, shouting someone down just because they have a different opion to you but sadly with the current crop of policitions who do it other people seem to think its OK to do.

The tories have mastered the trick of playing people of against people, clas against class, race against race, young against old, etc, etc so the ill-feeling is there boiling away.

Some people need to rememeber to treat others with resepct, kindness and consideration of thier feelings and to think IF they would like to be treated in that mannar.
@milkymum1 Well said. 👍️

I wish I knew. I certainly don't understand the true personal [i]venom[/i] that comes from some that don't even know the other person they are talking to.

What is really disturbing is watching the broad brush type insults from someone you just had a really great conversation about something you do have in common.

It's sad really.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Peapod that happens all the time. What's really shitty is that if you comment on their insult they'll actually start to hate you even though you just had all of these good experiences. Something is wrong with these people
Peapod · 61-69, F
@MartinTheFirst It's why I start to consider taking breaks from the internet. At the very least, I think I have to stop feeling it's a badge of honor to NOT block people that can only insult me, just because they figure I am not of the same political agenda.
This is a first for me, and I’ve voted in every U.S. presidential election since 1980. It’s the first time I’ve [b]ever[/b] seen supporters of the president as enemies. Mainly because this president has been regularly holding rallies and telling his supporters that the rest of us [b]are[/b] enemies of the country. I don’t harass them and I’m not particularly nasty to them. I actually tend to avoid them. They can’t justify supporting a president who is an avowed racist and misogynist, unless they agree with his point of view. And since I imagine they must, I don’t want to hear about it. And I make no apologies for feeling that way. 🙁

Uneducated people use personal attacks.
Why don't they have their say, put their point across and leave it at that.
Nooo, must have the last word.
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@smiler2012 Censoring things is not a solution in my opinion. You won't solve the problem by sweeping it under the rug.
smiler2012 · 56-60
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic it appears it is really only one certain topic that is the main division on this site now to avoid unnecessary nastiness have you a constructive alternative
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@smiler2012 Of course it's always easier to take away the bone than to teach dogs to behave.

Well... on one hand there is something to be said for passion which no matter where or how it is applied has its downsides. Having a passion for anything can easily be declared an obsession. Yet, passion is often something to which humans aspire and encouraged to experience.

On the other hand, if you take a heartfelt belief, whether it's religious or spiritual, hobby-oriented, family focused, romantically engaged, or politically-based there is going to be conflict when you introduce an opinion that contradicts that belief. That isn't really surprising.

Advising others to keep their passions in check is easy, but when it's your own regardless if the passion is spiritual, hobby-oriented, family focused, romantically engaged, or political, it's not so easy. And, when two contradicting passions come to a head-on-collision you get the dynamic of which you speak.

It takes self-discipline and self-restraint to pull back. And, most people don't want to put the effort into exercising those qualities.
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
You are right there... but unfortunately when one tries to talk to people of certain political views, it's impossible to have a civilised debate as they just hurl insults... so I must admit, I just insult them too now.. A catch 22 situation but yes in an ideal world there would be more civilised discussion
Gizzmo · 61-69, M
Self opinionated people who have no regard for opposing views is a summing up of most of the politicians on the planet.So you can expect that the people that profess to be up to speed with current affairs and follow these people will be of a similar ilk😟
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Gizzmo True, you cant expect a baker to do a blacksmith's job just because both work with heat. Trump was never made for politics.
Gizzmo · 61-69, M
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic He's a very good business man so why enter into politics in the first place?
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Gizzmo Beats me.

"like the civil war" and not unlike the Revolutionary War. People haven't changed much but the difference is our ability to communicate with each other in real time. The President serves at the pleasure of the people and can be removed at any time.
Piper · 61-69, F
I find it disheartening, and quite disturbing sometimes. It bothers me even more, when I see those who most share my own views...wish harm on those they disagree with politically.
Peapod · 61-69, F
@Piper this would be true and I am certainly not guilt free of insulting the agenda of the party I strongly disagree with. But I hope I don't go so personal that I sound like I am fighting with someone that has done me great harm.
Piper · 61-69, F
@Peapod I'm sure not guilt-free either, of criticizing the stances and policies of those I disagree with. I have most certainly said insulting things about this current president. Not just his policies, but about [i]who[/i] he so clearly is. I've even gotten a little personally insulting [i]back[/i] to a person, a few times.
If you are guilty of the kind of ugliness I was referring to though, I've not seen it.
Peaches · F
You are so RIGHT! 😯I've had a person even attack my family and where we may have come from over a political opinion?!👎🏼
the politics is just an excuse...and being tolerant and eventoned is not really so easy...
Peaches · F
@Elevatorpitches So are you saying most people are just mean spirited by nature?!🤔
Ingwe · F
It tells me a lot about the person themselves
