I say "I'm not into politics" in public often.

It's fantastic, you don't have to argue, and you quickly find out what they really think.

You know, if I'm out for a drink or having dinner or something, I don't want to discuss politics with you, ever.

There are so many fights to get in, everywhere.

In private with friends, it's different. I'll argue and laugh with them. It's a ridiculously hostile topic.

Not being into politics sounds incredibly boring. If you swear off talking about politics, then you can't talk about books, movies, video games, the weather, sports, celebrities, science... what's even left?

So much, as you don't have to view those things from a political standpoint. Sure, you CAN look at everything that way, but it's good to turn that off from time to time

I talk politics and religion (sometimes) with friends, but strangers? I'm usually not looking for that kind of interaction with random people, it's trouble

There are no apolitical ways to talk about movies or the weather.

Interesting.

So, a celebration of ignorance can be used as an abuse of cunningham's law. Hrmmmm.
