Bah! Trust me, you can get banned without ever talking about politics or religion. I got banned from one place because I defended myself by using the inflammatory (the Mods description, not mine) phrase, "I think I'm entitled to my own opinion based on the facts presented." You can't win sometimes.
that'd do it,,,,, that'd do it.
My wife always says that the two subjects you should never discuss in another persons home are politics and religion. I am in complete agreement on this.
Ian is correct. There are tons of other venues to vent about the government and political issues. We prefer to keep them out of this forum because they are very divisive issues and in general lead to harsh disagreements and bad feelings.
Drama is not welcome and political discussions are a Grade A source of drama.
