Should we really even talk about politics with friends and neighbors?

Kody M asked:

I mean, we have the right to our own opinions and of free speech as pointed out in the Bill of Rights, but for our own sake should we really even discuss or debate it? Every time somebody starts talking politics the conversation gets pretty heated and eventually turns into a shouting match. Is this where our country is headed? Towards another secession?

Note: Don’t be rude and don’t tell me whether you like Obama or McCain because frankly, I don’t care.

Asa K asked:

I know that I can basically major in anything and still go to law school, but I want to either major in politics or philosophy due to my passionate interest in both.

Any advice on the subject?

Can anyone recommend a good book about politics?

Brix asked:

I would like to find a good book about current US politics. I know that’s a broad question, but it can be about anything regarding politics that you think a 23 year old political science major would find interesting. I would prefer one that is bi-partisan. Thanks!

Why do so many people become instantly hostile and defensive when discussing politics?

Filed under: Other - Society & Culture — Tags: Conservative Republican, Politics, Religion — chatyak @ 1:12 am

Sonia M asked:

I am a liberal democrat and my boyfriend is a conservative Republican. We haven’t killed each other (yet). I happen to think that open, friendly debate between differing political parties can be a healthy, productive thing. Unfortunately most people I talk politics with get really testy if I don’t immediately agree with their views. Maybe the old saying about the impossibility of changing a person’s view on religion or politics is true. What do you think? Thanks for your time and input.

How does the average person go about getting involved in politics?

asked:

Especially if you was the kind of person that hates partisan politics,wouldn’t **** on a representative of a special interest group if his/her heart was on fire,still believe in telling the truth as best as you can and you have more ideas than money to fund a campaign.Just an average person who would like to change your corner of the world for what you hope will be the better.

Do you think that the Republican party keeps religion too closely connected to politics?

Filed under: Politics — Tags: Founding Fathers, Iraq War, Political Views — chatyak @ 6:50 pm

Natalie asked:

McCain has said many times that “this country was founded on christian values.”
However, our founding fathers were adamant about keeping religion out of politics.

What do you think of Sarah Palin’s remarks on the Iraq war and how it was “God’s Plan”?

Do you think religion is the basis for many republican’s political views?

Filed under: Economics — Tags: Austria, Economic Decisions, Economic Problems — chatyak @ 2:50 pm

xhan asked:

I am a student in Economics Class and We have one week for this project. We were given different countries per student and I got Austria. I need to research on the following:

What is its present political and social conditions?
What is its history in terms of politics, social conditions and economics?
How are economic decisions made?
How are economic problems solved?
What kind of economic system does Austria have? Support through data.

Is there anyone here who is an Austrian? Can I interview you?
It will be easier and even more factual if I’ll be able to ask these to someone who is an Austrian by citizenship.

Thank you for those who will respond.
