Chasing squirrels
Every time people discuss politics on Flickr, it makes me want to just go shoot squirrels (with a camera - though squirrel season is open). If you don't come to a political discussion wanting one and you don't agree, you'll just make people angry.
Why? Well, if you're not expecting (or wanting) the discussion, you're going to walk into it with a closed mind. Which mean you'll either agree (and it won't really matter), or you'll disagree (and you'll basically be telling someone that all those things they believe are wrong, thus drawing out the anger).
So, enjoy your discussions, I'll be out shooting squirrels, because I don't feel this is the place to discuss politics.
