Hah, I think I might have met you before ;)
In all seriousness, can you give me an example of the sorts of arguments you start?
In a more idealistic phase of my life, I used to start political arguments at the drop of a hat. Not to verify someone's political leanings were like mine, but to instead verify that they had thought about (the) issue(s), and developed any opinion at all.
Now I just sigh when people say they don't take an interest in some topic I think is generally applicable to their lives.
- knightinblue 17y agoin some topic I think is generally applicable to their lives. No offense, but you have absolutely no business deciding what's applicable to someone else's life. Just because it's interesting to you doesn't mean it has to be for others. And if it isn't, it's still perfectly acceptable. I sigh when people judge others for not caring about things that they themselves care about.
- hugothefrog 17y agoFair point, and perhaps poorly worded on my behalf. You may disagree with me, but I think there is some political, social-economical, geo-political or even local-government topics that effect everyone. Or rather, there is at least one topic that effects every single person, whether they think it or not. That was more what I was getting at.
