[quote=Anonymous]I used to be quite interested in politics and current events but talking about it burned me out and now I rarely ever talk about politics other than with my father and one other person. Because we three can have a rational discussion about politics.

Most people who talk about politics are actually rather boring. They always take the exact same stance and are utterly unwilling to acknowledge virtues of different viewpoints and wield their views like the sword of Damocles.

And, to be frank, what's the point. There's nothing you can do about whatever you're upset about in politics. Why get worked up and upset over something you can't control or happened. Life goes on. It always does.

When I'm with friends we mainly talk about art, local events, local government scandals, travel, books, movies, pets, mild gossip over friends and neighbors and old acquaintances, and of course, the weather. I used to sneer at these topics when I was an ideological 20 year old college kid but now I find them much more interesting than abstract arguments over politics.
