So very true. I'm not really starting a political discussion, I just had
to state my feelings, you know?
Anyway, yep political discussions usually devolve into hellish flame
feasts no matter how civil they start out.

But there's a difference between talking about people talking about
politics (what essentially started this thread) versus arguing over them
ourselves. The former can be interesting. And because we're talking
about the viewpoints of third parties, it's generally more restrained
and polite. The latter I've seen get out of control very, very quickly
- both here and on other lists. I do discuss politics with others under
the right circumstances. But I greatly prefer that those discussions
take place when I know that if either side starts arguing simply for the
sake of arguing (which politics seems to cause quite a bit more than
other topics, imo) it will be possible to pull back, take a deep breath,
and put the discussion off until everyone has cooled down.
The occasional discussions that have occured on this mailing list and
others quickly seem to reach the fervor pitch of an Evangelion fan vs.
anti-Evangelion fan, and invariably are only called off when others
start to complain.

You make valid points, but politics are part of Gundam, right?
Spacenoids vs. Earthnoids and all that.
The sad thing is, Americans in general hate to get embroiled n
politics,
but love to bash & bitch about our Government.
With Gundam, politics are hard to completely avoid.
