I have talked politics with many people I've met for the first time playing golf in TV and elsewhere, getting a haircut and doing other things in my life. I've had political discussions with strangers in the grocery store. No offense Gracie, but it is very true.

These strangers I've had discussions with; sometimes long interesting debates, some short comments with nods and smiles, don't always agree 100 percent with me but it has never ended with any of the other golfers or people I've met for the first time leaving the course or the store angry.

On the other hand, I have never - not once - had a discussion in TV or anywhere else in my entire life with anyone about stopping a stop signs, dog poop, cars parking in their own driveways, speeding in golf carts, children in TV, people using the pools, holding seats at the squares or anywhere else for that matter.

And let's be honest, there are some really heated and agressive discussion in the other topics in this forum. People say some really hurtful things. This is a discussion board. That is why people type their thoughts here---to discuss things.

It is the Internet. It isn't the real world. To me, the political forum is closer to my reality than many of the other discussions on this forum. Not that they aren't interesting or very informative. Not that I don't really, really enjoy the other topics. But I signed up for political because it interests me. If it doesn't interest you and you aren't willing to discuss what you type in political...don't type anything in here.

I am not saying this to offend anyone. It just gets my goat when people always blame people in the political forum for being meanies and right-winged hot heads. Cologal, djplong, VillagesKahuna and others who views aren't exactly mine have many, many good discussions in this forum.

I don't agree with everything the more conservative members say and we discuss the issues just the same.

I don't think that is the reason either Bucco. JMHO.
