o Jun 7 NoAmnestyEVER v Yes, I find it enjoyable In my family being a liberal is worse than being a serial child molester, so when we discuss politics we're all on the same page. Anybody who's not keeps his or her mouth shut because they know they'll be exiled from every future family function if they dare to chime in. Post

o Jun 14 NoAmnestyEVER @Nurse8493 - The vast majority of the population of America now considers the Idiot in Chief more dangerous to our security than every Muslim extremist on the planet combined @NoAmnestyEVER Post
Jun 14 Nurse8493 @NoAmnestyEVER well what do u think? Sounds like you are ashamed of the illegal drug abusers, or even the Charles Manson types. And the current cultures lifestyle? Are you ashamed of the rich or famous people in power too? Jesus was not. He knew it was the power of salvation for ALL who believe. Even President Obama, is loved, do you find this shameful about this? Please read Ephesians 1:13-14, I pray this will encourage your understanding of Gods' will for everyone, thanks @Nurse8493 Post
May '13 LEC v None of the above I enjoy talking politics, but I avoid family gatherings.. so maybe the question should have been "do you enjoy talking politics? Post
May '13 JesusLivesInMe v I sometimes do it by accident I don't mind talking about politics when it's necessary. I'm not just gonna bring it up because I feel like spouting off what I party I like and don't like. I'll bring it up if the conversation is ripe for it. I generally try to avoid it though as most in my family would vehemently be against my views (and not JUST politics) and it would cause more problems than anything. However, even though I don't talk to much about my political views with them I do make it very clear (in some way or another) that I'm a stark Conservative and I'm against Liberalism, hehe... Post
May '13 Prime_Meridian v No, I avoid it at all costs Nah, family get-togethers are stressful enough without injecting politics into them. Post
May '13 Philof v Yes, I find it enjoyable Yes, we are a large family and we enjoy the discussions. We all feel there is something wrong about how things are in this country and it is nice to discuss the views we have. Post
u May '13 SuperBeast v Yes, I find it enjoyable My family is full of Republicans, so there is no problem there. Post
May '13 LHoran v None of the above I like to talk about it, just to make sure there will be a good show ;) Post
u Apr '13 BossTweed v Yes, I find it enjoyable I'm lucky. My family are very intelligent and most fair minded intelligent people can argue BOTH sides of every issue. Post
Apr '13 Keyjo v None of the above Fortunately, I have NO family to discuss it with! Both my parents are now deceased and most of my other relatives were Bible thumpers, preachy to a fault! Ewwww! I left home at a very early age and never looked back! Post
Apr '13 Randolf Like folks hav said below, it depends on the job. Im on call 24/7 365 an its a dangerous job. But i dont think its quiet as important what you do off duty if you flip burgers. Post

u Dec '12 KyleMFb v I sometimes do it by accident Some how politics always get brought up and I feel inclined to drop some knowledge on on those right wingers B1 e9 endorsed Post
Dec '12 LALibertarian v Yes, I find it enjoyable I love to talk politics. I know what I believe and why and mostly can present evidence to support myself. However, when it comes to family gatherings, my family is the ones saying "Obama is the anti-Christ, and Romney is a Christian." Interesting statement, correct? Both are completely false, so I roll my eyes, counter-argue, and explain how gays have the same rights as I. By the way, just because someone's supports gay marriage does not mean that they themselves are gay. It means one believes in individual liberties. B2 e6 endorsed Post
Dec '12 FFX_VA v I sometimes do it by accident Family gatherings are about catching up, sharing stories, discussing family; those are more important than politics. If politics does come up its usually local politics and the discussions fade into something else rather quickly e6 endorsed Post
Dec '12 truthsayer v Yes, I find it enjoyable Mostly we discuss the unintended effects most legislation has had on the country or the skillful ways politicians mask their true intent. An example of which would be the patriot act. Legislation designed to strip away all protections the Constitution offers but given the name patriot to make it easier to sell than the government can do with you as they please act.

Dec '12 Thegrif v Yes, I find it enjoyable All conservatives in my family, except for Mother in law, who was a very rich real estate broker and very conservative till she had a stroke, now she seems to be more Lib. Then again her brain isn't firing on all cylinders either, so that exains it. B1 e3 endorsed Post
Dec '12 DerivePI v Yes, I find it enjoyable Politics and religion are important and enjoyable topics of discussion. To have a fruitful conversation, it's important to listen, tell the truth, show respect and never attack the person for their point of view. A good question is often better than a good statement.

Dec '12 jamie91 v Yes, I find it enjoyable But I have some a-holes in my family that turn it into an absolute rant. That is why it is probably best I usually work Xmas. But I do enjoy it with my non-a-hole immediate family. B1 e1 endorsed Post
