Too far gone. And he wouldn't watch anything I link because I sprouted two far roysh horns and a cloven hoof
Tis funny ~ I am willing to listen to anybody's views on personal level ~ Like normal interaction ~ I don't even mind my views being questioned in such interactions because I am confident in my views ~ I know / hope that I am correct an some stuff and I know that I am wrong on some stuff ~ But I can handle been questioned / challenged. I often learn stuff and may even adjust my views. I certainly wouldn't lose my cool with people for disagreeing with me !
Some People are extremely fragile in their beliefs ~ ~ They can get very defensive and maybe even offensive ~ ~ This is because they don't really have strong beliefs in the stuff they think they believe in !
I was interested in politics from 13 / 14 maybe even before ~ ~ Maybe this was because some of my family had been in the IRA e.g One Grand Father was a sort of information-runner for the IRA. He was in the kind of job where he was cycling around the Country as a shop-boy collecting orders from shops ~ So he knew what was going on and was in a perfect job to carry information ~ His older brother was in the IRA ~ His Sister later married an IRA Man ~ His brother's son married the daughter of one of the Leaders of the IRA in the West ~ In fairness that side of the family had many connections to the IRA up to the IRA ( PIRA ) and even to the dissidents if you go out to extended family ~ My grand-mother on the other side was in Cumann Na mBan ~ She would have been hiding IRA Men and IRA Arms, or so my mother told me anyway ~ ~ ~ I suppose when you are in that kind of family you are a bit more interested in Politics than a lot of People, though my Father or Mother and none of my siblings ( including me ) were involved with the IRA.
You have to be following Politics for a long time to have a good understanding of what goes on with Politicians / Politics and even then you may not be correct.
