Sonia M asked:


I am a liberal democrat and my boyfriend is a conservative Republican. We haven’t killed each other (yet). I happen to think that open, friendly debate between differing political parties can be a healthy, productive thing. Unfortunately most people I talk politics with get really testy if I don’t immediately agree with their views. Maybe the old saying about the impossibility of changing a person’s view on religion or politics is true. What do you think? Thanks for your time and input.
