Question about politics 1
#23763333 - 10/23/16 06:44 AM (7 years, 3 months ago) |

So last thanksgiving or some holiday gathering..me and my sister were talking about our views on abortion and gay marriage. She was saying that shes all for gay marriage and i was saying im all for abortion.
Then my aunt steps in and tells us that it is rude to talk politics like that with your family.
I got offended by this.
I see her point but i always believed that all secrets must be shared.
What do you guys think?

That's what people say when they don't like your politics.

You never heard of not discussing religion, politics (or money) at the family table, especially if drinking's involved? That was kind of a rule when I grew up. 
There's often enough tension or stress at holiday gatherings too, no need to start trouble troll.

I work on a boat. The general rule is don't talk about politics. You could pick up an etiquette book if you like. I'm sure you will find its bad form to talk politics at family gatherings. Tensions are usually pretty high already; why stir the pot?
That being said, I suck at adhering to this rule. I am passionate and opinionated, and election season is hard for me to STFU.
Side note, I'm pro-choice and for marriage equality. You might be careful about saying you're "all for abortion." Nobody is for killing babies. It's a tough decision I'm happy to have a penis about. The main reason is not because it makes you sound twisted, which it does, but that it makes you sound stupid. Your argument won't go very far saying something like that. If you are care about a woman's right to choose, don't start your argument with that line.

Maybe Bill wants to kill babies. We shouldn't make assumptions.

such wise responses
but if i cant express my views to my family..then who? Im sick of dumping my shit on the shroomery...i have been quite distant from my family and im trying to reverse that..that is why i got offended when she told me it was rude.
Maybe it was just misplaced positive intention on my part...who knows

Good evening folks, we're here again for another episode of 'who baits shroomery best'!
Please welcome our host for tonight, Bill Oreilly!
*claps*
Nah but really, last time I tried to incite intelligent conversation about 'red button topics' with my family, such as the banning of the burqini in France, I found out that nearly all of them are a part of the majority that believe muslim people should "go back to where they fuckin' came from", and that they dont believe its a human right to be able to wear any item of clothing you choose.
10/10 would not recommend. Leave family to believe their shit, as we want to be left to believe ours. Most won't adhere to logical debate, it'll devolve into emotional shit slinging.

Nice!! 
If you're trying to get closer with them, bringing up sensitive issues and getting easily offended is a bad start.

I think the reason most people are taught "it is rude to talk about religion or politics" is because most people simply cannot talk about these either because they are severly uninformed or cannot discuss it civily like an adult. This type of of social rule is mainly in place to present nastiness between two people where there shouldnt be any.
I love a good, respectful debate myself but the moment I am personally disrespected with ad hominems then that is where you are below me

I talk about politics with my family all the time, we disagree as much as agree
If someone can't have a straight conversation with me, I wouldn't consider them family

Yeah, that's a pressed argument. You could finish that in two seconds flat.

Ahahahaha
Youre right today is the day i decided im voting for hillary..im not sure if that makes me a liberal in whole though.
I mean..racism kills so that puts trump on hillarys level..so i mind as well vote for the killer rather than the racist killer
BUT i will say..i fucking hate hippies and those college kids who think they know it all cuz they went through their first semester and was taught how they were taught all wrong up until that point
Nothing angers me more than a big ego

so you're voting for a racist to avoid voting for a racist
that makes perfect sense
