Lose the Politics

I find it odd to say that if you disagree with their politics this isn't the podcast for you...why not? Who said we have to agree on everything to still like each other? Just because of a political comment here or there which the OP might find irritating or inappropriate?

I certainly didn't mean that anyone who disagrees with the views expressed on the podcast shouldn't listen. I don't believe I said that. But the title of this thread was "Lose the Politics". Whatever OP meant by this, I took that as a directive for the podcast team to stop mentioning politics. That's why I made the comment that I did. I don't care if someone disagrees with my views. I have many friends and co-workers who don't. I respect their views and they respect mine. None have ever told me to "lose" my "politics."

The disadvantage of written mediums is the lack of tone. Sorry for misunderstanding you.
 




Sometimes one has to say what one feels they need to say. We all to one extent or another use our disney interests to escape from real world. But Whether we like it or not Disney et al intersects with our country's and this world's news and trends. It shouldn't drive the podcast but when it comes up it comes up. I've never felt that any of the podcast team were pushing their individual agendas at anyone.
 
This made me roll my eyes.:rolleyes1

I'm not American and this doesn't bother me in the slightest. I actually appreciate hearing a little bit more about the team to be honest.

However, if @KingLlama decides he is going to run for POTUS, I may have to try to become a citizen just so I can vote for him ;-)

Can someone be a "king" and "president" at the same time? :scratchin

Eh, I don't think the politics are too bad on the show, but I think feedback is great and important to give people space to speak up. Please don't pile on folks for giving feedback.
A week ago I was at a restaurant where they were offering a dessert "suicide by chocolate" advertised quite prominently. We had been at the hospital for two weeks round the clock at the bedside of a family member who had attempted suicide. We were preparing to release them from life support and I needed mental space so my BF insisted on a day trip.
I didn't say anything because I was raw emotionally, but the cheeky, seemingly innocent promotion was VERY offensive to me.
My example is extreme but I think open feedback is excellent, I have a low tolerance for violent images, political discussions in general right now. Chopping heads off as a joke it is NOT okay and inexcusable and understand why others need/want to shield themselves. We all take turns and I am sure I will forget eventually to be as sensitive. I hope not, but it's human.
 
ehhh Kevin going to Kathy Griffin's defense last week made me roll my eyes but overall this isn't a big thing on the show, it's an offhand comment here and there

Edited for softer tone

Okay I went back and listened to last week's podcast. Kevin, I believe what she did was disgusting. Period. Please don't make space or any excuse for such violence in our society. Please don't roll your eyes at me or others who point that out.
Love and respect to you.
