This is definatly not meant as a troll/flame thread.
Right thats out of the way so on with my question.
I've lurked on this and many other forums and Americans just cant seem to talk about party politics without getting really emotional.
I've met lots of Americans in real life and without exeption they have all been the most polite, well mannered people you could wish to meet, but the second you disagree with their politics it gets really uncomfortable.
I can discus politics with just about anyone in europe and they dont take it personally (we all realise that polititions have their own interests fist and if that coincides with yours then your lucky) but you lot over the pond seem so divided on party lines that you cant seem to talk about anyting without it desending into a slanging match.
So is it just an internet/media thing or does it carry over into real life? And if so why?
As I said at the beginning this wasnt meant to insult anyone so please dont take it that way.
While lots of people in europe may disagree with your political views we also disagree with each others!
