It's never a good idea to discuss politics or religion in mixed company, agree or disagree?
Yeah, I'm gonna take the indecisive middle ground here, it depends on who you are with.
Some people are just argumentative, that can be good, and it can be bad. My dad was such a man, and he would argue about the sky being blue if he could get a rise out of a person, especially my Aunt Robbie! He was not ugly about it, he just did it to do it, for a rousing conversation. This person, yes, I would discuss touchy things with. If for no other reason than to hear his two cents, and often most times.
Then there are people who know they are right, and won't hear anyone else's two cents. This type of person is closed minded, and likely to get ugly when you defend your position in the discussion. I try not to say much around people like this if I can help it. I do not like confrontation. Keep it to the weather, as it were.
Now, if I don't know what company I am in, or I cannot gage a person's personality enough to figure it out, then I have an answer, it's no. I don't like to argue, so I would tend to not put myself in a situation when I might get into an argument. Plus, I am the queen of thinking of the perfect response to something when it is too dang late!
Thanks for reading, sorry for any typos, I'm doing this from the bus.
