Re: I can\'t stand conversations that involve politics
You need to stay out of the Politics forum then. It is basically what you described, except in text form. I don't know why people bother posting there. It's not a discussion, it's just a means for each ideology to spout off their views and to shout down the views of the opposing side.

The politics forum is not a politics forum. It's arguing on the internet with politics as the premise. [/ QUOTE ] I do read it though. I enjoy the thoughts of Cyrus and pvn; even though I fall somewhere in between their views, they are both pretty smart fellers.

Re: I can\'t stand conversations that involve politics
if you are smart and talk in an understated manner talking about some political/world issues can score you a lot of points with certain girls.

[/ QUOTE ] Supposedly at USC there is no type of girl that is not hot, i think the story is much different at... cornell. seriously, for most semi intelligent girls, it really helps if you are smart and know how to show it. this involves being understated, some other intangible stuff, basically the opposite of the loud angry guy.

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.
