Default Re: I can\'t stand conversations that involve politics

I don't really find politics interesting, but never shy away from a philosophy arguement (very simliar for the most part). They can be very enjoyable, and you can learn something from them. And the point of everything isn't to impress girls. Sometimes you may be at a party and a friend or acquantence has some view you disagree with and want to challenge. With a lot of people these talks won't go anywhere, but there are people who can be very stimulating and challenge what you thought you knew. Even if they have nothing interesting to say, you have a chance to reorganize your arguments and kind of challenge yourself on the issue. And sometimes the other person will walk away with something you have told them.

But I do agree with you, to many people think they have all the answers and don't really want to discuss, but show of how smart they are.
