When and where is it NOT Appropriate to discuss politics?

[mopaul]

i love to discuss politics, with my own liberal kind. but i don't enjoy discussing it with bush heads or born agains. politics and religion often pop up at parties, but caution should be used of course.

if you go to a concert, and it's one of your favorite singers, and she starts spouting off about how she loves george bush, you'd be offended. but if she called bush a warpig fascist dictator, you'd probably applaud. is it appropriate to discuss politics at a concert? especially when you have the microphone?

a lot of people think they are on crossfire or something, but if they can be civil and friendly, it helps, but it's hard.

the main place i guess is the workplace, where you really need to use caution. maybe your boss is a rushie dittohead and you HAVE to listen to rush 3 hours a day, 5 days a week....(shudder)

my dad loves to discuss politics, a die hard democrat, but when my brother the born again bushie republican whacko is there, it gets crazy. he and my dad have gotten into some real good screaming matches, but mo don't play. i like to shut it all down with some jokes or flat out insults. i hate confrontational people like my brother, bless his ass.
