Is it worth it to get in facebook arguments about politics?

[Aristus]

3. I've pretty much left off the political discussions on Facebook.

It's too stressful. I recently re-connected with a friend from high school; he was a pretty decent guy back then. He is a math teacher now in Arizona. And I don't know what's in the air and water down in Arizona, but he's gone over to the dark side, supporting Rmoney.

He posts an anti-Obama status update every once in a while. I thought about challenging them, but I just don't have it in me. I remember him as a fun, decent guy, and now he's one of them. He knows where I stand. I post some pro-Obama things now and then, and he never replies to them. He's probably wondering about me.

If people de-friend you, that's their tough luck; you're better off...
