Question for Political Board Regulars

[Dos Equis]

As a rule, I never discuss politics with anyone I just met, man or woman, regardless of environment.   Way too polarizing.

I do.  All the time.  It's actually not that difficult to talk politics with people (in real life).  Just don't argue with them and respect their opinions.  I have great discussions with people who have polar opposite political views.

Sorry, can't do that, I mean you can tolerate some stuff but putting stricter control on marijuana by the government is just...too much.

I was just kidding!    

How does the saying go?  "If you wanna make friends and keep them, don't discuss politics or religion."  Or something like that.

Arnold and Maria are Repub and Dem, and they got along just fine, for a little while.

Yeah, I hear you. I think for me even worse than an extremely conservative or liberal person would be an extremely religious person but who knows?

Yeah - cause she would probably be a prude!

I would imagine on the islands, you might meet a more laid back type of person.  I live in Boston, surrounded by Massholes.

lol.  It's true that people here are much more laid back than the mainland, but I'm all over the place, and talk to people from all over. 

I actually like people from Boston and NY.  Love the brutal honesty.  You always know where they're coming from.  I respect and appreciate that.  But they do have to tone it down when they move here.

Also, you catch people when they're removed from the day to day chaos.

I've live in NJ / NY / Boston.  Boston people seem to be the most on-edge.....
