Re: Forum gossip thread by James Bond

Do you associate with others based primarily upon their political or religious affiliation?

...Personally I don't.



I don't care what political party my friends support, or if their pov are diametrically the opposite of mine. A friend is a friend is a friend.



Recently, I related how one of my divorced friends is having a tough time, owes his ex/the government over $40,000. Thing is, he's a staunch Conservative, was a supporter of Stephen Harper and is extremely religious. I'm a bit further to the center and the left than he is. And he's a bit rigid for my liking, but nonetheless, I see him as a good guy who's experiencing hard times.



If I had the money, the means to help the guy out. I feel sorry for him. I wish I could help him out, release him from his bondage and his chains. And the astonishing part, is his family isn't supportive of him. His daughters have grown up, have good jobs and then don't provide him with any money to help him get out of that mess. They think he should continue to suffer and pay - their own Dad! The daughters claim that they are also religious, quote the Bible as to justify their views as to why he should suffer and pay up. And I look at their comments with utter disbelief.



I find it incredible that I a more supportive of him as a friend, than his own family is. And they are also closer to him ideologically, philisophically, and ecclesiastically than I am.



I just count him as my friend. And I feel his suffering and his pain.



Anyways, does a person's political or religious affiliation influence whether you will associate with them?

Neither. Religious or Political types generally have an agenda. Not all but many do. I usually choose my friends based on their Pets.

I don't keep friends because most people aren't worth the effort. Most only want to be friends because they want something from you but they have no intention of giving  anything in return.

Maybe if you quite eating all their Twinkies, and stopped asking them to scratch your ass all the time, you'd have more success.

Are you sure? Pretty sure it's the other way around.
