Hmm...didn't realize you folks really hate him. Do...by all means explain your reasoning of why y'all dislike Mr. Obama.

Maybe I'm alone in this sentiment, but I believe that discussing politics (same thing with religion) in this environment would only be detrimental to our relationships.

Yeah this is an open forum, but I think dislike of current US administration is probably best kept to some sort of group PM. We are all friends here, but I don't want to turn off potential new recruits if they stumble into a firestorm

Dem words sound like a Democrat! Get em boys! Lol just kidding. Politics is a little less volatile than talking about religion typically...although... every job I've had, I've been specifically told not to discuss either politics or religion, I don't like heated conversations about peoples beliefs and opinions, it's just a pain in the butt. And I could see how this could turn people off of a forum like this potentially.it is nice to have a place to vent about that gong though.

Well vent away my friend, as for directly discussing...well we don't have to, but we can discuss the idea as to why these are such touchy subjects.
For me...I've always viewed politics this way, it will typically either be A) You agree with the other persons opinion B) you disagree because... and if B) is applicable the end result will often be "Let's just agree to disagree on that subject and move on". Whereas Religion, well the results of that could be any number of answers, the majority of them will result in someone being offended...hence the reason most people just stay away from it.
However, I've never heard that before in my workplace to never discuss politics or religion. Although I suppose it depends if it is private enterprise or public.

Alot of places now say it is advised to not speak about religon or politics because it can create a hositile work place enviroment. Personally if asked I will discuss and am very open about being pagen. However I dont bring it up in conversation

I find that interesting. Most work places here actually prefer to cut down on general chatter period. I find they go with the old "if you want to talk about it, talk about it on your time and not my dime".

We really need to get that going the pub part that is. I could really use a group session and a few brew.
