You get a billion dollars if you can start a massive argument at your family's Thanksgiving dinner.

What's your game plan?

You know, I think the OP should be reversed, it would be a miracle if you could manage to get your entire family together during Thanksgiving, there's always one or more members who can't make it every year.

How is this thread still going?

Say anything good or bad about any politician and somebody is going to pitch a fit.

Honestly, say anything about politics in general and someone will pitch a fit.

It's why I don't discuss politics often. Either it's going to be those who disagree screaming bloody murder and insulting me for daring to not think their way, or the people on my side doing it and just embarassing me for being associated with them.

Naw. Given the right group, saying bad things about the president is almost a mating call at this point.

You just about.. haha. Politic suck but feel bad to people who actually try to help their country while other politician try to take advantage over them for their own benefit. Never be fanatic, know politic but stop there. Always read both side so you can come up with real fact and actual opinion about any situation. Some may stay mysterious.

It's usually only very closed minded people that are this way.

I can have a good political discussion with pretty much anyone without it turning into some sort of giant screaming match. I try to be open minded, reasonable, and I make it a point to always acknowledge a valid point that the other person is making. I also keep personal feelings out of it.

I dont know why but for some reason it is usually liberals that cannot keep a debate friendly. They almost always get angry, and they almost always speak down to whoever they are debating.

[Ⓥenom Ⓢnake 🐍]

I have learned that discussing any charged topic online is generally 100% pointless. People stand on their soapboxes and scream into the void, with no intention of listening to the person on the next soap box over.

I'm comfortable with my beliefs and I don't feel the need to attempt to convince anyone otherwise. As long as it does no harm I do not begrudge anything to anyone if it makes them happy. Like that Sheryl Crow song.

That sounds like the exact opposite of what liberals should be, they should be more open-minded based on the textbook definition of the term. What a bunch of hypocrites. I'm sorry but that's just how I feel about it.

Dont get me wrong. I've ran into more then one nasty conservative when debating them about religious freedom or the 2nd amendment.

All I'm saying is that in my experience liberals are far more likely to get down right nasty and start throwing insults when you challenge something they believe to be an absolute like climate change, transgenderism, or abortion.

I guess I'm just weird, because I really do enjoy my opinions being challenged. The more I think I'm right on an issue the more I like people to challenge me on it. I believe it helps me arrive at a well informed and logical point of view.

I dont like being insulted or talked down to like some people have a tendency to do.. cough cough.. plad.. cough cough. But I do like being challenged to think and defend my point of view
