I am all for discussing politics. I talk about them all the time. Lately some of my friends have been timing me to see how long it will take for me to bring up politics. I do not however want to see politics on a discussion board when I'm searching for a movie on IMDB.com. I use IMDB all the time. (If you don't know what IMDB stands for it's Internet Movie Database.) I like going on there to get the updates about movies I've been wanting to see. I also rate the movies I have seen.
I was on IMDB tonight looking up updates for the movie Twilight. I've been anticipating this movie for awhile and I go on there occasionally to see what everyone is talking about. One of the discussion topics was "how can you vote for Obama?" I rolled my eyes, commented that this was a Twilight discussion board and told the author of the comment to get a life and post this somewhere most useful.
Is there no where that I can go to escape the political discussion? I watch MSNBC for a reason. I think there needs to be a limit as to where people can post about politics. Blogger.com is okay, a Twilight discussion board come on..seriously.
I know I've said this before but I can't wait till November 4th.

Thanks for the blogroll!!!
Actually, come Nov. 5 everyone will be suddenly bored and/or apolitical. Maybe we should enjoy the discussions now because at least they've made us come alive.
I agree Emm about it making us feel alive, but I don't go onto IMDB to have a political discussion I go on there to get movie news. I have this blog and Twitter to discuss politics. I just think you've gotta draw the line somewhere.
