4 things we should never talk about…
Politics
Religion Abortion Coronavirus Obviously there is an entire forum dedicated to the first 2 but there is some spillover… the last one on the list is also interesting because it has created a divide between friends, it’s made me question some of the people on this forum I had a great deal of respect for, it’s just weird.

Maybe the Weather channel has a forum.

I suppose that I expect that people know a bunch of crap that is wrong.
But some still know something that I don't, and that makes it worthwhile. Manage those expectations.

On the flip side, it does validate why I've had 20 years of lack of respect for some.

More fun than politics Number of sexual partners could be added. The reason I say this is an ex was introducing her new fiancé to everyone and said to me "Don't mention us, I didn't include you." LOL wasn't I important/good/lots of things enough. |

Somehow a pandemic and how to respond to it has become political.
I really can't understand why anybody would think that was a good idea.

I also agree with that. I almost never express any views on politics or religion, because it just isn't worth it on many levels. I'm completely middle of the road, & I'm sure there are lots here who also are & do the same. I'm amazed at the number of very intelegent people, who completely loose it when those kinds of things are brought up. However I'm not surprised. I listen to old friends and keep my mouth shut too.

It's the emo responses that people find painful. Talking policy (politics) is rather dry for most.

Indulging in dialogue with people who live on an entirely different page is ultimately, at best, just a courteous, hopeless waste of time for all. Yeah, I have nothing more to say. |

That is one of the funniest things I have ever seen online.
If we want to avoid controversy, we should add cool collars, finned lines, electric turbo chargers, and oil to the list.

Exactly. ^
People tend to get butt hurt and break out the sour grapes when they can't "win" an "argument". "I just don't want to talk about THAT... You are going to Lose My Respect if you talk about THAT." Oye. whadda bunch of whiney pussies. I await the personal attacks from the whiney pussies for pointing out that they are whiney pussies. ![]()
