I don't know what catagory this would fall into, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
How do you maintain a relationship with someone whose political views are the polar opposite of yours?
Let's take the immigration issue.
If you firmly believe that granting illegal aliens amnesty, visas, gov't handouts, etc will have a profoundly negative effect on the culture and future of the USA, how can you still maintain a relationship with someone that is totally in favor those things?
In essence, a relationship with someone that advocates something you believe could, in time, destroy this country
Or the proposed admittance of 7000 Iraqi civilians into this country for asylum.
If you believe it's a good idea to allow 7000 Moslems to enter the US, how do you stay on good terms with someone that feels allowing this will only increase the chances of terrorist infiltration?
I just pulled out these 2 topics as illustration, not as the focus of this thread.
I really want to know how you deal with someone that advocates ideas/policies/philosophies etc that, in your view, are detrimental to this country and it's people.
And what if it's your spouse?!
Or girlfriend/boyfriend/family member/friend?
Just curious.
