If Todd says he will I'm game but I can guarantee it will get ugly and there will be some scarred relationships. I've seen it on other forums. It gets personal instantly.

I imagine Todd is sleeping now but he will likely see this early in the morning.

Not that this is forum related but we have neighbours who we have a wonderful relationship with. I know for a fact we completely butt heads when it comes to political preference. I simply avoid the topic when it steers that way because I know if I would let them know how I feel about their choice of party and why I feel that way, we would would not be the friends that we are.

The same thing has happened here in the past.

But as my first line says, if Todd says he's up for it, have at 'er... He and I actually had this discussion just a couple of weeks ago!

 If you haven't got thick skin you shouldn't say anything or else just smile and enjoy the read. I think for some people its almost therapy to get it off their chest.

 Agreed. But what happens is guys get personal and call other guys all sorts of names and start throwing sand like 5 year old children. It happened here in the past. 

I will admit that I think part of the reason Todd chose to leave the topic off limits was my influence. Actually, I would enjoy it if it politics could be discussed here, if it was done like adults. But I'm afraid that's a dream!

I don't want to lose any members here, we have a great group. 

Funny thing is, I know of a couple of guys here who are not local to me but I've met in person and we have become friends, all the while knowing that our political views clash very badly.

If Todd opens it up and it goes south, I get to say "I told you so" !!!

Wait till Todd wakes up and finds out the peoples party won and the first thing they promised to do when in power is to sell PEI to Trump for  Dollar

I dont see a need to discuss politics here, better to let sleeping dogs lie.

I don't think it's a good idea.  You can talk all you want about having a thick skin, but once that line has been crossed it affects your opinions permanently, even if you tell yourself it won't.  Not my call, but I would prefer to keep the conversation about cars.

The only thing that concerns me is the colour distribution on the map of Canada after seeing the election results. I also believe that this forum isnt the place to discuss which party is right and other such stuff.

I sent you a PM Mike.

Yes, I think I will lock this now. Any further discussion needs to move to the password protected topic.
