I need to write a research paper in relation to civil rights in the school setting. Would politics in the classroom be considered a civil right? Any other suggestions for topics? Thanks in advance for the help!!

Ocüpado asked:


During the election, Politics talks about the election, but so does the Election section. After the election, Politics goes back to regular politics, but so does the Election section.

I don’t get it.

Bonus Question: Why do you prefer hanging out here as opposed to the Politics section?

wade asked:


I am a Republican-conservative(political only) and am interested in getting into politics. I do not want to be Governor or anything, but I do live in a Capital city. Is there anything I can do to volunteer or make an appearance in the political realm? I have no political experience, and am not really qualified to run for any office. I do want to make a difference and have my voice heard.

What are some conversation topics besides weather and politics?

Weather is a stupid topic that doesn’t go anywhere.

I don’t follow sports and think they are stupid.

Politics is too argumentative and polarized to talk to people about. I will just make enemies of everyone.

I don’t watch TV and am not familiar with current celebrity events or whatever BS.

How else do you start and maintain a conversation?

Big W asked:


I’m a Libertarian and my girlfriend is a neo-conservative. We almost broke up over an argument about the Iraq War. I realized afterwards what a waste of time and energy it is to argue politics, especially when the status quo sucks for almost everyone. Im 26 and I know for a fact that my generation will be making the real changes in a decade or two, so why should I lose sleep over things I cant change? Any thoughts?

Anthony asked:


Note that I do not ask about ALL answers, I only ask how you perceive answerers to YOUR OWN questions.

I would not give you my own estimate when in Y!A politics, but in science sections I think that about 80% of answerers to my questions know what they are talking about.
