Don't you love politics?

I have began a develpoing interest in the terrible, grimy world of politics. I'd love to know what you guys have to say about politics. My opinion: We are just stupid oafs trying to have power over people, when we should all work together for the greater good. More or less socialism, because these stupid **** in America can't seem to work together.

I love politics but continued exposure to OT make me loathe it after a while

Yes, i love talking about government and economics. And i'm the opposite of socialist and communist.

I wouldn't be going to college for political science if I hated it.

...But then talking to people in OT about it is a different story. :x

I feel like people make politics way too complicated. It can be summed up in two words: we're screwed. :|

Socialism has been tried all over Europe and has failed. Greece has already gone bankrupt. I don't know why people think that America can do the same thing and get a different result.UT_Wrestler

Yes. Yes i do and i believe *says a very long speech* and thats why politics are a terrific thing. Then i of course do the exact opposite of what i promise in my speech and do terrible things to good people. This about sums up politics.

From 0:23 this is what I think of politics. :P

What is it people have against socialism as a goverment? I don't mean the type that is for communists, but I mean for Sweeden and Norway (I think). They all are rich and great places to live in, and then people come and bash those places saying that they're terrible. Socialism=People working in unison. Communism=One rule; the leader and only the leader.

Politicians are licensed trolls...... :|

I find our political system very entertaining. I also think of it as necessary and quite important to our society.

I love it when they ignore places like Germany, France and the Nordic countries and focus on Greece.

I'll probably just quit the site.

Without political or religious threads, the board would be horrible and see VERY little traffic. It'd be nothing but "Hey guys, I need girl help!" threads and "M Bison VS Goku" threads.

I still don't get why people say socialist style.

Like socialism is a bad thing. I for one like our roads and school and police.

And as a socialist, I can say Obama is not a socialist. He's not even far left.

Politics is basically one of the world's oldest and most violent sports, so yes I love it.

Yes...I love it. My favorite part is during election season. I love watching the different candidates maneuver the political landscape trying to outflank their opponents. It's like watching one big game of chess. Looking forward to the upcoming GOP primary for President.

No just no. I'm quickly learning to ignore it.

I hate it because all it is, is a bunch of ridiculous people, with ridiculous opinions act like they know what they are talking about...*cough TC....

People who study Politics all their lives dont even know wtf they are talking about, so the last thing I need to do is waste my time on either acting like I know whats going on or trying to convince other misinformed people that my misinformed opinions are the right ones

I used to enjoy a political debate and would regularly follow the current political field in America. However, as of the last two years or so I have become almost apathetic due to the realization that it seems not a single person within politics has any clue what needs to be done.mindstorm
