Values: Conservative vs. Liberal

Or, do you feel it's silly to try as people would rather fight over differences anyway. Just seems a lot of topics get derailed over just these types of issues and maybe they could be argued here instead.

No. I will not feed your toxic animal.

Point taken. I guess it will only serve to further polarize SUBSIM members in the long run, and I'll let it die on its own.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

EDIT: Rather a shame really, as it says a lot about how much humanity still needs to grow if we can't even agree to talk out differences.

Silence is more polarizing than any discussion.

For what it is worth:
Aslong as you are willing not to be bothered by certain individuals, you will find that you can talk about anything (as long as Neal plays along, that is). Unfortunately, there are those who seem to be so unsecure about themselves and their political views, that instead of staying out of a discussion, they will try to derail it just to make themself or their view of politic appear to be superior.

As a foreigner living in this country, I am certainly very interested in the fundamentals of both sides. Preferably untainted by the media and bloger sphere.

Having political parties is pretty stupid, why should we have to align ourselves to some arbitrary group. Rebublicans = Idiots, Democrats = Morons in my eyes and no party except maybe the Pirate Party deserves my vote.
