Remind me to never again post anything about US politics...

That's all ... 😀

I took your question seriously and answered it.

It's tough to comment on other people's cultures, they get defensive.

I had a few Brits block me a couple of weeks ago when I chided them for acting like the right wing was the sole problem and instigator of violence in your country. While what I said might have been true, maybe people didn't' want to hear it. 🤷‍♂

@sree251 That's a strawman reply bro.

2 different things...our tolerance of immigrants flouting our culture and mores is a separate concept from Gaza.

As an American I like hearing another point of view on our contentious politics. I used to have a regular meet up at a pub with a British ex-pat and a Canadian ex-pat. Over a pint or three we would discuss world issues and the politics of our native countries. Good times.

@badminton I dare not. Honestly. Still have the bruises from earlier 😊

@Willster There are uncultured oafs on here who cannot take criticism or analysis. They are always ready to dish it out, but they can't take it.

Wise decision…unless you enjoy belligerent and insulting attacks by SW users who are only impressed by their own perceived superior intellect and acceptance of only facts that support their own social and political beliefs.

LOL. you have to be tough to defend your position. Ifight back.
Willster · M
@akindheart It wasn't the toughness I lacked (I don't think) but rather the energy lol
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Willster Fair enough. I hear you. i have the problem of dealing with people who won't look at reality.. but i decided i won't waste my time. they won't change my mind and i won't change theirs. hey glad to be friends btw
Most of the people live overseas, so I don't even look at their replies, just the Americans.

It is a tough one, I saw your question. This is a close run thing and people are very on edge. I prefer to keep my dogs out of the fight as we do not have the same information. Much like other countries that think the UK is rioting from John O' Groats to Land's End. It isn't true and, although violent nothing like what was reported and is still being reported outside the UK.

I don't know much about any politics in any country.

Hahah no, not here. Too many trolls.
How often should I remind you?
Willster · M
Every day's a school day 😀

Looking at some of the spats on SW, I would not be surprised if there are many Americans who have taken that vow!
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
@ArishMell truth.

The US is a dumpster fire right now. I might be interested in becoming a free agent soon. Maybe see what was so bad about Britian in the first place. It seems like we traded one bad king for thousands at this point.
MaryDreamilton · 46-50, F
@MrSmooTh That wasn't what I meant. I meant it would be worse if we had no representation without taxation.

@MrSmooTh Erm... think about it.

Wise choice if you value your peace of mind. It is an electrified rail for sure.
Nelisme · 22-25, F
Very caustic subject… and please add religion to that.

Yeah...it's a blood sport. Don't play if you don't want to get bitten.

Who cares about politics, US or anywhere else?
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
Who is jackieash responding to? I must have blocked him/her lol
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@deadgerbil ah ot course
@JimboSaturn I was furious with one comment Sumkindamunster made. It was bad enough the condescending language and ad hominem attacks, on me. I am made of strong stuff despite being a short skinny thing, but he made a disgusting remark about someone extremely close to me who is not even on this site. I see I am no longer able to see any more of this vile troll. Good riddance and all that, as they say.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@jackieash27 I blocked him too. The funny thing he always complains people including my self are responding rudely and personal but he is the worst at doing that.
calicuz · 56-60, M
Wait....... American politics or world politics?
CestManan · 46-50, F
@calicuz I think a lot of us enjoy a heated discussion about politics but what blows me away is - some people will argue back and forth on here for days on end about it.

I think, doesn't it get exhausting?

Like, "Trump lied at the debate!"
