I believe that one must try and be polite whatever someones political opinions, entrenched positions gain nothing, likewise most political discussions on this forum achieve little imo.
for the record, last easter sunday, i stood out in the pissing rain for an hour demonsrating against irelands austerity cuts, in my opinion, if you want to try and change something get out and demonsrate, being impolite to others on this forum will not change anything.
