Politics is a stupid thing to be passionate about

So, I remember seeing on a literature forum, a thread about a quote from an author who's name is not important, who said that sports, politics, and religion, are the passions of the uneducated. The other two are obvious, but with politics it also makes sense. With politics it's a game of what you know, the reason that politics isn't even viable to argue about is because there's so many sides to one story, that trying to argue it becomes a matter of two people who heard different stories and can't come to an agreement on the full picture. It doesn't take intelligence, it just takes getting a bunch of people to repeat generalities about commonly held notions which were told to them by the media. This is why I've started to think that talking about politics with people in general is a waste of time.

Talking to people in general is a waste of time with the rare exception.

Loaf why are you making agreeable statements all of a sudden

The problem with politics is people assume that just because you don't support their idea with helping people, you must not support helping people at all.
