political posts.

Ok, so I've never been a fan of political things, and never share my opinions, though i didn't have a real reason for. Recently I felt the need to read up on the possible upcoming candidates and went to several different sites just so that I stuck on just one bias. Well, while the articles were all the same in basic facts(only the tome of the articles were different), one thing was always the same. I'd go to the comment section to add my two cents worth and then upon reading other people's comments, I'd have to post something else. This is not because the logical arguements of fellow commenters changed my view. Quite the opposite actually, most of the comments were name calling, and had no real thought in them. So instead of ever posting an actual comment(and I read damn near 15 articles, people) I posted the same thing over and over which was,

"I've looked through all the comments for this article, and only ____(insert number) of made an intelligent arguement for or against this candidate. The rest of you are merely name calling and throwing out insults that are not even pertinent to what was said in this article. Calling a person an idiot is not a valid arguement til you bring in proof to back up that statement. Please, understand that I'm not saying don't share your opinion, share your opinion all you want but do it in a respectful manner and don't use insults and namecalling as your main arguement, it's not mature. Seriously, I've sat in on elementary after school programs,where there's less frivilous name calling then there is here. You're all adults so communicate respectfully and intelligently."

This expierence made me realize why I hate politics, people don't respect each other when the subject comes up. And to be honest, if a subject can turn normal,mature adults into blathering hypocrites who tell their children not to call each other names but then turn around and call a candidate they know little to nothing about an idiot, then Idon't wanna be apart of it. It's silly that we join political parties so that we can share our opinions freely with like minded people and then insult those who are doing the same thing but on the other side.

That's all, just felt like ranting.
