I'm not surprised. There are a lot of people who don't like discussing this stuff (either because they don't agree with it or they just don't want to deal with any more stuff about politics/social issues).

The discussions are often not productive, or, worse yet, predictable.

But you can still have an opinion, correct? It seems this conversation, whether it is productive or not, is relevant to this community.

If I can't here the other sides arguments here, where will I hear them?

But do I really have to? And do I really have to see this completely irrelevant to me topic?
