Political views

Post by James100 »

I wouldn't write anything political as I prefer to keep my views to myself and don't have a clue about politics anyway!!

Regards

Politics and political philosophy are major interests of mine, so I write about them more than anything. I try to be respectful, open-minded, and non-offensive. But offending people (and making oneself look like a close-minded zealot) is always a worry when writing about politics and expressing opinions. :?

I do write about politics every once in a while. Usually when something gets under my skin.

I love to write about politics and my political views... but I don't expect other people to adopt them. Like my faith... they are mine!
