Dave40 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 I think you can be friends with people who have different political views as long as it doesn't become to personal between you and your friends it should be ok!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English_Bob Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Yes... But with the proviso I noticed that all my friends share my feelings towards this last election in Thailand. However, I am friends with Ciaran and Stramash and they are left wing, whiny communists, whereas I am a jack-booted fascist thug. I never get offended by their stupid political points of view. But I can't believe they support Arsenal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasie Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Well I've my old uni. friend who gives support to Thaksin & Yingluck. All we do is to avoid talking about politicals. I once sent mail to her to tell her stop sending forward mail how's good of Thaksin. She's my good friend while she's a red shirt T__T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never get offended by their stupid political points of view. But I can't believe they support Arsenal! I am actually slightly to the right of Stalin these days. I believe there should be caps on immigration, people on state benefits long term should be made to do community service (unless they have a genuine health complaint) and that women on methadone should be forced to use contraception. I also believe that the UK should invade France and Belgium so we have somewhere to dump our toxic waste... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, Hitler made a mistake picking the Jews to eradicate. If he'd picked Pakistanis or Arabs, I think history wouldn't have judged him so harshly.

Wouldn't it be better the other way round? I mean, polluting a small island always is better than polluting a good part of a continent, isn't it?

Well the English are basically Germans with a sprinkling of Danish so yes, you are right. But easier to keep an island clean than a continent. Maybe France and Belgium can pass it down to Austria...

But easier to keep an island clean than a continent. Maybe France and Belgium can pass it down to Austria... Eeeeeyy! It's neither my nor any other Austrian's fault that Hannover, Sachsen Coburg and Battenberg mixed with the islanders over there! And if you want to take revenge on France for having been conquered by Guilhelme le Batard (William the Bastard - well, he was!) in 1066, it's ok but I could not imagine many fields of a tournament you would be better than them: Food? Nope! Climate? Gosh! Football? Not since long! Castles? Ok, that's a draw, although yours are much more moist than those in France! Conquering other continents, exploiting them and finally leaving them in chaos? Ha, here we are! Edited July 4, 2011 by kaunitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodKarma Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Seriously, I have friends from all walks of life, political parties, socio-economic backgrounds and races as well. I only talk politics/religion with relatives or close friends. I stay away from discussing these things with acquaintances and I do differentiate between the three. I have found that when you discuss these things with strangers you almost never change their view and usually end up making an enemy. Especially if they are a co-worker etc. Unlike an acquaintance or a total stranger true friends already have a feel for your beliefs and where you stand or where you are coming from. And NO we all don't see I to I on all political beliefs or philosophies. The majority of my good friends are very open minded, will listen to your points and on occasion will agree with a plausible point or two. However, I tend to weigh and respect all opinions but.... P.S. You know how the ole' saying goes: 'Opinions are like Azzhules; they all stink and everyone has one'....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
