Political Survey of Civil Behavior and Common Sense?

After reading through a lot of the answers to questions in the politics section I was really just pretty disgusted about a lot of the answers. Why? Too much ignorance and hate. So basically I just wanted to put this out there to see how many other people there are here who can look at things critically and really think. I don't care what political party you people are as long as you're the kind of person who isn't locked into a certain way of thinking, someone who's willing to have a polite discussion of issues instead of sinking into the ridiculous and unproductive rhetoric involving shouting across a table or dismissing something based on party or principle. Anyone out there agree?

    Sorry, but the days of rational discourse on this site have been gone for more than 2 years.

    I thought you would have figured out long ago that civil behavior and common sense are against the law when discussing politics. If problems are actually SOLVED, politicians would have NOTHING to do. Stirring up trouble and spouting nonsense keeps them in business.

    Well you never really asked a question.

    Their are a few here. But I am rude to many of the very ignorant ones who do not have enough sense to pound sand in a rat hole.

    They get on ones nerves. Also it is mostly children here.

    Civility is the domain of the white man.

    The Tea Party used the support of pissed of people, so did Hitler.

    The Tea Party used public gatherings in public squares, so did Hitler.

    The Tea Party used minorities as scapegoat, so did Hitler.

    This just isn't the place for that....it just isn't.

    Too many opportunities for snarky one-liners, trust me I deal many of them out.
