Yeah dude, I just don't like to argue politics or religion because no one wins those arguments. I don't really care about other posters politics however ( unless they are anti american). There are a lot of lefties on the board who I really like- it just doesn't bother me what they think and hopefully they don't hold my positions against me either. At least here it seems like that holds true, other places I'm not so sure if your politics follows you outside those topics or not but here people seem cool.
Of course I often can't help but posting in these threads but i like to state my position and then drop it if i can.
