In that case everyone could be friends. Political debates here are a form, a subset, of intellectual debate to a certain extent. Often have I heard people here call wingers and fundies stupid.
I don't like detached friendships where I just use a person for certain thing. Shopping, hiking, dancing, dinning, etc. with this friend or that one is nice, but to not to be able have a political or religious discussion---that's not for me. I can't seem to compartmentalize my friendships like that. I have few friends, you don't wonder :), but they are very, very close. I have many acquaintances, however.
Wars are fought over religious, political issues. And although I'm not advocating some personal "war" with this kind lady, I cannot feel close to a person who cannot identify with my belief system.
Thanks for your comments.
The "ass." ;)
