Lately in school, my friends and I have done nothing but spend our spare time in cla** talking about the election, the government, corruption, economics, political correctness, politics in general, abortion, and religion. It's been pretty interesting finding out everyone's views and opinions on the subjects.
For example, I have a friend that thinks that 9/11 was a conspiracy. Although I tend to disagree, he has done his research and makes some valid points. I love having little debates with him because even though we sometimes disagree, we always give each other a chance and we can be respectful about it.However, one friend seems so closed minded. I can't stand it! When I'm having an intelligent conversation with someone I expect them to be mature about it, which means being open to new ideas and NOT stuck in your own ways.
It bothers me that some people aren't open to new ideas. I think that closed mindedness leads to ignorance.
For example when we were having a religion discussion, she refused to even LISTEN to our explanations of other religions and how they relate to each other.(Christianity and Judaism)
She's so set in her ways that I don't think she'll ever learn about the world outside of her own little bubble. It's quite sad really...
Maybe it's just one of those things that irks me.  | |

But I guess I would have to say McCain. Mostly because I have more republican views and so he has some of the general views.
I really need to do my research! |

Ands a good toss up here but if you where to ask me i would have to go with Obama, i belive he has more veiws on cleaning up the crap that we are in and get America back to where it needs to be.

You're right. America is crap right now. |
