I know you guys are probably memeing but let's tone it down. This is a thread for discussions.

So, I'll just do Poohead a favor and literally repeat the "this thread is for discussion." 

[i]I know I was literally lambasted for making the point of "hey, maybe you should follow basic guidelines set." like I was the villain. Because -I- can never be right.[/i] But, yeah...maybe stop the ad-hominem stuff. 

Also, who cares what someone else does for their own job? That isn't remotely relevant to politics...

And now the subject will magically drop, and that discourse can happen now.

Since I can't get real and/or civil political discourse online anymore. I got the occasional podcasts to fill the void. I still wonder how many people would be willing to have real discussions about politics? Face to face, or even voice to voice. More personal and human conversations that aren't sound bits like the news media. Podcasts are fantastic tools for politics and entertainment. But I digress.

My question if people wish to discuss it, is how do you consume politics in your life? And should politics matter to the average person as much as they do? Does it matter as much as people think it does? Is it just culture? Is culture heavily influenced by politics?
