The Lizard doesn't like Kirk's Politcal Affiliation

[kriadydragon]

I have no love for people who try to use something that has absolutely nothing to do with politics to spark a political debate, but there is something incredibly amusing about comments over a fight scene between Kirk and a humanoid lizard degenerating into an immature political debate in which no one makes any kind of a point, let alone sense.

It's so crazy the directions that discussions can go. It's why I don't debate, even though I often want to. Too easy for things to get out of hand, taken out of context, or for your words to be twisted beyond recognition. What's really scary is that there are people who don't even "try" to steer a conversation their way. They just jump in with a topic that has absolutely nothing to do with what's being discussed (case in point, a while back there was a discussion on an author who basically blew up and stomped out of fandom, taking their stories with them. Everyone blamed it on the author going through some emotional issues. But one person blamed it on the author being a republican o_O).
