  1. Random political thingy:

    Now, you can argue over what's responsible for mass shootings and if Trump's a good president or not all you want, but I think there's a huge issue with politics that's far more important, but not enough people seem to care about or notice.

    That issue in question is how both (or all three or four etc) political sides will trash-talk or shut up anyone they disagree with.   This really bothers me.    

    With the gun control debate for example:A lot of right-wingers will try to ignore the other side by calling them 'crisis actors', and the left will often claim that the NRA is a 'terrorist organization'.   

    That was just one example, but this is everywhere. 

    Also people will just say that the others don't know enough and therefore 'don't have the right to talk about it' 

     

    tl;dr:people will try to shut up or demonize their political opponents so that they won't have to risk being proven wrong

     

    Thanks for reading this, and if you want to have a political debate in a PM sometime, I have a bunch of political crap in my about me page.   I'd also love to hear your thoughts on this status in particular.

      That's basically the definition of being a liberal or a conservative. If you consider yourself either side you probably don't actually listen to the other side. I, myself, am a moderate leaning more towards conservative. I question everything I read and it helps avoid the whole "fake news" fiasco. For example, if CNN makes an article about someone being pepper-sprayed after being groped at a rally (real example), I'm going to look more into it. Btw, in this specific example, she wasn't actually groped, and she actually punched someone beforehand in the rest of the clip that wasn't on the CNN article. I'm not saying there aren't conservatives who are awful people, there are bad people on either side. Just remember that before arguing a political opinion know that the person you're arguing with is probably going to argue back. It doesn't really matter who's actually right, what matters is where they get their information and how right they think they are.

      @EthanForeverAlone  I just watched that yesterday.    I certainly agree.
