For (frank)s sake, can we get back to talking about how we should be panicking that Fletch hasn't solidified our lineup when there is only 3 months until the season starts?
We are NEVER going to change each others minds about politics.
So lets just get back to hockey.

I normally forget about past blobs, but remembered this one to see if Journeyman had imbibed the distinction between 'Canadian polarization less than US" to "Canadian polarization low."
Now to your point. Yesterday, I was shooting the breeze with Landros2 about his life choices, Canadian hockey coverage, the culture, and the degree to which there is political polarization as part of general musings. It was sociological, not political. I never took political sides, and indeed did not follow up on a comment where L2 mentioned the leftward drift of most parties except the Conservatives. It was friendly talk, the sort that might occur between pals later in the day. I had no agenda, and only made general sociological observations.
You guys have become the equivalent of the leftist fringe elements, who see race and oppression in the color of toilet paper and of the moon. Except you guys are not the fringe anymore and you laugh at the former without irony. So over-inflamed are your antenna that you see things where they don't exist.
But lets grant you what you do claim, that the talk was political.
What is politics? It is to ideology what the underwear is to the body, while social behavior are the clothes that we wear for outer appearance.
Now suppose I am indeed a provocateur, who asks people to show their undies in public.
Who would complain?
1. Those who are offended by public indecency. But that should be independent of the nature of their underwear.
2. Who else would complain? Those who are insecure about their underwear, for it might be stained or soiled.
Now, it turns out that those who complain about politics etc here to me are heavily weighted on your side of the spectrum.
As such, we find more evidence for 2 over 1, except 2 wants the nature of the complaint to be labeled as 1.
Iotw, buddy, you are not fooling anybody.
Thats it, I am outta here, I will leave you the last word, which I am afraid I will not read. If you want a debate, alert me over PM.
