Do you try to avoid discussing politics on here?
I feel like I am stirring the pot, even though it's not my intention unlike [b]some[/b] people on here.

Nah. If anything, I just consciously bait the people who do into blocking me to clear out the human clutter.
The problem with "politics" on a site like this is that it rarely means "politics", so much as "dumb culture warriors misguidedly thinking their dumb moral ideology of choice isn't dumb". Inability to conceptually extract any given topic entirely from its ethical context in the North American culture wars is tantamount to an admission that you have nothing to say about it, so demonstrating that you [i]do[/i] have that ability kind of has to be the starting point before any adult-level conversation about politics is going to happen. But as it turns, it is an ability most people don't have.
