I don’t mind the political discussions so much, I was avoiding them earlier because I didn’t want to waste time debating who was better, Hillary or Obama, McCain and Romney, etc. Now that the candidates have been chosen, I’ve been willing to partake in the discussion in order to sharpen my arguments and analyses of the policies. (And to me, debating is an intellectual exercise).
I’m on another blog site and it’s dedicated to surveyors, and most of the posts are “off-topic”, dealing with politically sensitive subjects. (on that site, I am considered “deficient” in my knowledge of history, hahaha) The true “surveying” subjects are outnumbered. So I’m not surprised at this development. It usually happens to pretty mature blogs that don’t have a subject limitation.
There’s also the curiosity factor – many of us are in the same boat regarding housing, and so it would only be natural to look and see what the others thought of other subjects. Even with this unity regarding housing and finances, it’s interesting to note how different the political stands are for certain people. =shrug= Personally I find it interesting.
Well, with name-calling no longer allowed, I am curious as to how I will find out when the other person has no argument…
Anyways, until Rich outlaws boring people to death, I suppose I will be safe from being banned.
