My BF is moderate and im liberal... his family is very conservative.... very tough.. sometimes very annoying since my BF is very stubborn..
I love to discuss politics with others, but discussing it with my ex was a nightmare. We never really fought about anything, but when we started discussing politics, we'd start yelling at each other. Of course I avoided it.I don't understand the whole "Let's not talk politics" deal. The way I formed and refined my beliefs was through debating and conversing...hearing other people's views. I used to be rather conservative on social issues, but now, I've moved more towards liberal. However, I'm still a bit conservative fiscally. I got that way through political discussion. To me, one of the largest catalysts of change is the sharing of knowledge/opinions.
To some politics may not mean much, to others, even though they think the most efficient means are different, the goals are the same and that's the most important thing.^^ Wow, it amazes me. I mean, people with different political preferences obviously believes in different things.

I strongly disagree. I find it amazing how some people believe that one's politics are compartmentalized from the rest of who they are. That's not the case. One's political philosophy is fundamental to who he is. It affects how that person views the relationship between himself and society, how he believes social institutions should be arranged, how he views the relationships among families.Liberté;2859553 said:To some politics may not mean much, to others, even though they think the most efficient means are different, the goals are the same and that's the most important thing.
