I'm not sure if this is better in IMO, but we'll give it a whirl in here first and then move it if need be.
Right now Facebook and the Internet in general are full of debates - presidential election, gun laws, shooting, Brexit, etc. It's not just limited to the internet though. In real life family and friends are divided with some very hurt feelings on all sides.
At what point do you step back and agree to disagree? It's easy on the Internet to debate a random person to death, but what if it is someone you consider a friend, even though you may have never met them in real life? What if it is a real life friend?
I am one that will walk away from the argument with a friend in most cases. :nod: I have different political views than plenty of friends and family. I try to avoid heated discussions and don't post things of that nature on my Facebook wall. I've seen way too many friendships break up over foolish things that have been said in the middle of a debate. In most cases it isn't worth it to me.
