Do most Americans have nothing better to discuss rather than politics?

most of you seem utterly obsessed on this site.
Just to make this clear, this thread is not a excuse for you to ramble on about your political opinions. I dont care.
I am just asking if you have nothing else going on in your lives that take higher priority? for those that only ever talk about politics, I imagine you guys live very sad lives.
There is only very few of you on here that i have noticed are not like that but for example you dont seen anyone outside of America, be as obsessed with politics. Its just weird

One can only assume that they always talk politics because of the ridiculous laws/politicians they have. Don't get me wrong the UK is in an appalling state to, but to always discuss politics is boring.

Those spouting about it on social media rarely actually do anything about it in RL. Yes Social media movements can help. However life is short. Those here discussing it appear to have very one tracked minds 😬

@Lanie78 thats what I am talking about though. Sure shit is rough there, always seems to be that way but its rough all over the world also yet you dont really hear anyone outside of American obsess over politics as much as they do

@Torsten Very true, it is obsessive. Sort of cultish politics.... brainwashing!? 🤔 Many Americans are the same towards religion to.

Torsten · 36-40, M

@Lanie78 exactly. it is very cult like.
Havent heard as much bout religion from them to be fair. Man where i am religion is argued about constantly, that is also really boring

Lanie78 · 46-50, F

@Torsten They often say "god bless you" etc etc. UK isn't so religious these days. I don't get the whole religion thing. People are entitled to believe in whatever they wish, I just don't appreciate it being preached or forced on others.

@Lanie78 like when you sneeze? or at other times also haha?
I was raised religious, so its rather normal to me but I cant stand those that try shoving their beliefs down others throats. One thing i detest about Christianity and so on

Lanie78 · 46-50, F

@Torsten Are you Christian then? Oh and yes exactly! There's no need. It's personal choice if you want to practice

Torsten · 36-40, M

@Lanie78 nah i am Pagan.

Lanie78 · 46-50, F

@Torsten Raised as a pagan?

Torsten · 36-40, M

@Lanie78 sure was

Lanie78 · 46-50, F

@Torsten That's pretty cool. Much better than your mainstream religion.

Torsten · 36-40, M

@Lanie78 i am biased but i agree haha

Lanie78 · 46-50, F

@Torsten Has to be far more interesting and healthier Tbf. I don't practice anything but would say I'm more spiritual if anything 🤷

Torsten · 36-40, M

@Lanie78 there is several different pagan type religions. Mine is more Norse centered, with gods and so on.

Lanie78 · 46-50, F

@Torsten Ah okay, so what does that entail? Excuse my ignorance

Torsten · 36-40, M

@Lanie78 nah all good. Actually a lot haha its kinda hard to go into it without writing a hell of a lot, that I am sure you would be bored with.
Everyone has basically heard of Odin, Thor, Loki for example. Its based around them and many others

Lanie78 · 46-50, F

@Torsten Oh I see. Different realms and stuff? Or is that a different kind of paganism?

Torsten · 36-40, M

@Lanie78 on a very simplistic way, yeah sort of.
here is a link if you wanna know more.
I dont really talk about it much on here because i dont like feeling like i am forcing it on others or anything like that, but its here if you wanna read some and if not, thats cool.

@Torsten I had a look, actually quite interesting. Explains your mead making 😊

Torsten · 36-40, M

@Lanie78 that might be a coincidence haha.
I originally got a recipe from my grandfather who would make it and it became a hobby of mine making it and mixing it up and trying new things and well yeah
