i think politics and current events go hand in hand, but i also think that this connection has been overdone on the zone. especially the old zone. no topic of conversation should be ruled out, but politics seems to have taken over the old board, its why i didn't post there, and now it is quickly taking over current events here. just look at the thread openers there this month.if people spoke as much about sports or celebrities or music, as they do about politics no one would come here any more. i guess i'm just as much at fault as the others, too.

but americans seem so politically divided these days. its really kind of scary. we have liberals and conservatives in canada too, and we argue, but nothing like i've seen here. (i go to school here in the states)
