I Like Politics

@williemcd: "promote a fact nased on fake news... and then defend it to the end! Eventually resorting to name calling" Again describes plenty of the conservatives. Plenty of idiots on both sides here.

I hear ya but don't agree that there is equal intensity...try and stay out of judging till ya observe the pack like mentality of liberals when commenting on a conservative post...versus what I've seen when conservatives posting on a liberal post.. I see logical challenges.. met with a plethora of counter attacks by the mob!

Well I normally get called a liberal on conservative posts so I will stick up for them here😂. Also they are a bit better than conservatives.

Following UK politics it gets confusing keeping the players right...
Conservative Party
Co-operative Party
Democratic Unionist Party
Green Party
Labour Party
Liberal Democrats
Plaid Cymru
Scottish National Party
Sinn Féin
Social Democratic and Labour Party
UK Independence Party
Ulster Unionist Party
Your politics are quite a bit more confusing than here in the U.S. I guess ya gotta grow up in it or make it a passion to learn about it....

Yours is more confusing to us but right now I must say ours is ridiculous. The sooner we leave the better.

@williemcd: Then the alliances formed in order to gain a majority.. The side deals that must go on is mind numbing... Not knocking it... just at a loss.

@thatscottishguy: Leave as in how or what? Not Brexit ya referring to?

We all are. The fact a mild form of the KKK are in government now because some old witch won't let go is baffling.

Scotland to leave the UK.

Well. I can see the issue most of those in that mindset with the "open door" policy...Especially when ISIS is on record stating that they would be using the immigrant community as a trojan horse...

@thatscottishguy: That vote failed by the slimmest margin what last year or the year before? Perhaps they jumped the gun by a year or two... I'm betting it would sail were it to come up now... Isn't there a restriction as to when it comes up again?

No restrictions. It was 2014 and thw SNP today announced they would wait until the terms of Brexit are known to put through legislation for a second referendum.

2014? Seems more recent to me... but then again.. I'm getting old!!! LOL.. Ya seem to have a good head on your shoulder.. what, 18 did I see?

20

@thatscottishguy: At 20, I was a GI, getting loaded and chasing women... then got married at 20 and 3 months...

Very young age to get married at. Fuck that😂

@thatscottishguy: Living in a city of about 60,000 GI"s Charleston,SC..Getting laid was tuff! Having a wife cured that!

@williemcd: The girl had an Italian overbearing father... I was her out... she was my "in"...

Been married since?

@thatscottishguy: Yep.. in spite of vowing to remain single and enjoy a single life.. met a woman that works for me... now going to hit 25 years.

That's good

@williemcd: the ones that enjoy in name calling have anger manage,net issues and no sbolity to emgdgr im reasonable civil discourse. Sad.

@williemcd: Also this is kind of off subject at this point but I wanted to state to one of your "open door policy" comments that even the Kurds themselves stated at one point they suspected at least 2,000 radicalized had crossed with the rest. So it is a very real fear I feel.

I think it's weird that if you researched you'll find outright warnings from Muslims themselves and people still don't listen!

Mainly because our politics are getting so muddied it's hard to see whose agenda is which. Also don't mean to state the total obvious but Islamic extremist groups have TONS of money! Who knows who they really buy out with those billions they make in arms deals and stuff.

I bet we'd be surprised if we could find out somehow. I was always curious about that even though I know we as a society we'll never find out.
