Kinda like watching a train wreck...Hard to turn your head.

I get my news from other places and think that political talk on a sailing site is in bad order and only tends to create enemies from people that would become good frinds without the political talk.

That is also why I refuse to talk politics with my friends unless I am sure they have the same views I do.

Despite trying not to, just reading these political threads gives me preconcieved ideas about individuals and usually not in a good way.

I only check them when I need a break and I think the fighting is amusing. Occasionally I will read the content if it is a paragraph or two but I would never click on a link.
