Honestly I rarely go to the politics forum. I find the constant debate over any subject tedious. I generally like to lay out the facts in an orderly fashion, with all the positives on one side and the negatives on the other. Debate in the politics forum is far from that. I find it frustrating to debate in ANY forum when an important point or many points which I mention are ignored. If the subject means a lot to me I will continue posting on a subject but in general if the "other side" is ignoring my statements or acting immature after I've posted 3 times, then I will cease posting. There are some subjects here that I've learned engender just that kind of debate where the participates don't debate fairly or with an open mind. I stay completely away from those subjects because when I've put anything into a thread and it degenerates into a spit fight it inevitably leaves me fuming.
A debate that is profitable at least in helping me understand the "other side's" point of view even if I don't agree with it. I can often tell if it's going to be that kind of thread early on based on the original question and the first few posts.
