Do you feel a little meaner, a little angrier, a little fed-up since having joined this Yahoo forum, and witnessessing so much hate from others using the politics section?

Yes,
I cannot believe the hateful things Americans say about America.
Plus I really hate the coward liberal bastards that Email me say smartass things then block me.
They don't deserve the sacrifice Myself and other military members have made for their freedoms.

I was a nicer person when I was totally cut off from the world for 3 whole months working-staying in a Swiss farm miles from nowhere.
Watched no TV, read no papers, called no one on the phone and did not need to speak much english. This was the most revealing moment, mots profound experience of my life so far.
I was ignorant of all that were happening in the world at the time. Now that I'm back into the world of depressing country politics, manmade and natural disasters, I yearn to tend to that vegetable patch in that Swiss farm, breathe the fresh alpine air and drink in all the goodness of life there. That's the real world. Truly.

actually it's the other way around. I used to be very angry about political issues, and seeing other people's points of view on here, on various matters, helps me to see things from other angles. Whether or not I agree with those angles doesn't really matter to me.
The only thing that seriously annoys me on here is questions which were posted solely with the intention of antagonizing those on the "other side".
I laugh when I see the way some people react to those kinds of questions though... and oddly enough I think being here sometimes helps me to laugh a lot more at things in my daily life.
My temper has gotten much better since coming here, and I've mellowed out tremendously.

I've stopped viewing and answering questions here for the most part. I've also stopped listening to politics on the news.
Our two polotical parties act like divorced parents - fighting tooth and nail to convince everyone else how RIGHT they are. They're only hurting our country with their anger and lies about each other. It's pathetic, and quite honestly I wish I could round up all our pathetic politicians and dump them in the ocean.
Whatever happened to electing people who actually stand for our beliefs? Does anyone REALLY want the leaders of our country making us all look like babboons? I, for one, DON'T!

I feel a little better now that there is proof of Liberal Dimokratz almost swearing on the Bible to prove that they knew Saddam had WMDs`, and then flip flopping and saying there is no proof of WMDs`. So which is it ? You got dems on here saying there was , and in their next breath , there isn`t ? What a bunch of hypocrites !! I feel much better, and you will too when you watch this bunch eat their words !!

While I'm on here I get a little hot-headed but in real life I'm a very kind, nice person. Politics always bring out the ***** in everyone, why do you think politicians are usually the scum of the universe?

I don't feel meaner or angrier but I've realized that people with conservative ideals seem to be meaner, angrier, irrationally fed up with liberals, and always the first to resort to insults and express hate. I guess I feel a little scared and confused about this observation.

Nope, they were actually a lot meaner and divisive at the Yahoo news message boards.
Haphazard administration, at best.

No, I'm pretty much the same here as in real life. I have noticed though the nature of my work (gathering and coordinating data) carries over to the way I answer questions here... lots of links.

yes alot meaner and less tolerant, I tried to listen, and I know both sides will say that because both sides seem to be at the extremes, and maybe I'm going a little further from the middle myself. I'm trying to listen please believe me people it's not personal, unless you make it personal, I will try to be more open myself as long as their aren't petty comments I will listen to anyone.

No, I've always been hateful. :^)
Seriously, Y!A politics is child's play compared to the rancor you'll find at Free Republic and Democratic Underground.
