I don’t usually discuss politics with friends because I know that inevitably someone is going to end up with hurt feelings. I try to live by the saying “Never discuss politics or religion with friends or family.” I only wish that others lived by the same rule. Why is it that there are always those few friends, who have you on their e-mail list, that insist on forwarding you the latest political rumors about the presidential candidates or are in support of various candidates without knowing if I am in support of that person or not? I find myself seriously offended by some of these e-mails.
The thing that irritates me the most is when I have to listen to some uneducated really stupid person talking politics. I don’t consider myself an expert even though I have a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, but at least I am educated enough not to believe everything that I hear - especially when it comes to politics. Come on people, get a clue! Have you ever met a fully trustworthy politician? I am not saying they are all corrupt or liars, but no one can deliver on everything they promise when it comes down to it, but I digress.
My point is that I really wish people would be more sensitive to the possibility that I may not be in the same political spectrum as they are and not forward me those dumb ass e-mails!
