  • We each have our preferences.

    I love many of her questions because they help me frame and phrase my thoughts

    and because sometimes some very lively and interesting conversations come out of them.

    The political ones don't catch me as often.

  • You know, when I first joined the site, I felt the same way (sorry Rosie), but then I thought that without her and people like her, this site would probably be very slow moving. Plus I think she's alright once u talk to her.
    I can see how you can feel that way tho, I used to too.
    Thank you so much for participating.

  • I am very interested in politics, but most times the questions posted here are intellectually dishonest. They are not geared toward a meaningful conversation, but to further somebody's very specific views.
    Also, most are phrased in a way that borders on the insulting and condescending towards those with dissenting views.
    No need to apologize, I welcome and enjoy our conversations greatly. I do like.learning about your country and about you as a person.
    Thank you so much for responding Ms Hart.

  • The political questions are often quite loaded, meaning the answers required are pretty obvious.

    That's a pretty good list.  I have a few others plus a few names that, when I notice them as the OP, I generally ignore.

    Pretty much any post that refers to individuals or groups in a derogatory manner.

    Millennials!

    OK I am one one but I kind of think it's just a buzzword that's only used by people on TV and radio and by people in marketing.  I've never heard a normal person use "Baby Boomer" "Gen X" or "Millennial" in a regular conversation.
