Is it too much to ask to leave political comments out of a sex site?

Is it too much to ask to leave political comments out of a sex site?

I came across someone's blog about a relationship dilemma they wanted opinions on. One of the responders took a political jab at them. A political jab in a relationship blog?? What does one have to do with the other??
Yes I admit, I took a shot back at the commenter.

Why did they bring politics into a non political discussion?
Pft...God knows!

In my honest opinion, this is an escape for most of us. We are all here to either discuss sex, discuss relationships, have sex, or whatever floats out boats.

Am I wrong???
Agreed! Politics has no place here
Totally disagree!
Oh balls!! I forgot to vote!!
Other (Feel free to leave a comment)

IMO comments should be appropriate to the blog post topic

If the blog is about something political, then I say it belongs here. But if the blog/comment is about another topic, then all comments directed at it should be about it. But to say I can't/shouldn't write about something political is wrong. It may be inappropriate, but I don't think it is wrong. Sometimes a person just needs to express him/herself here. That should never be discouraged. I wrote of my hate for 45 in many different places, and when that was the topic I did it here. I also took several surveys HERE where I could express my hate for 45 and the repugnant party. So I don't think you can just say leave politics out of this site.

On the Main Blog page at the top it says . . .
Blogs are a simple way to create your own regularly updated homepage on Passion. They're a great way to find out more about other members and to tell people more about yourself and your real life experiences with people you've met on Passion!

It doesn't restrict political subject matter. But YOU can easily not read it.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Why, yes, it is....it is the nature of any online forum, regardless of content or focus.....and as redrockrascal above has said, one just needs to ignore it and move on......a fire deprived of it's oxygen ceases to exist....

"whatever floats out boats"
You said it! Regardless of whether or not this is a sex site (and that depends on which site you signed up on), if it floats your boat, then it's fair game. Yes, it would be nice if people posting a comment on a blog post would make it pertinent to the subject, but it's not a requirement. The owner of the blog is capable of deleting the comment if they so choose and you are free to move on to another blog post if you don't agree with the post and/or comments.

Just like Sex, Romance, Relationships, Friendships and etc... Politics are just another part of life; however, in my opinion, Politics does not belong in a topic of discussion unless the author of the topic included it into the subject matter.

Its a persons blog to do as they see fit.

People should feel free to by pass if it doesnt sync to what they see as fit

its not merely a ' sex site', its a people site, and that involves ALL the nuances of ...people.

I would never come into someones home and dictate how they decorate.

No I don't see why they should be left out. As long as not against the tos people can say what they want. As for political comments when the blog isn't political I don't know why someone would BUT we still have semi free speech.

Humans are the most dangerous animals on earth.

If only animals had the ability to know when to keep away from us humans they would be better off.

If its a relationship blog then no there shouldn't be any politics stated there. But members have all kinds of blogs here, and politics is a hot topic.

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

    Quoting  :

Lala, in response to your comment (If this is your honest opinion, then you (and others) have answered your own poll question.)

There isn't a right or wrong answer. This is a discussion and this is going to draw in different opinions. THAT is the point of the poll question.

In response to your other comment you stated (Those who voted to nix the politics are the people who have a one-dimensional view of this site and what it is or "supposed to be" about. I say this because you'll notice that majority of the comments are from regular, active bloggers. )

The voting represents views of people who prefer to not post a comment and choose to do so anonymously. We do not have names of those who voted, we do not know if they are regular bloggers or newbies. Either way, the votes show valid views and opinions which should be considered valid opinions.

Bashing one party over the other is in part the reason I posted the question. Politics is a hot topic and many people are scathingly passionate about their views and less open to opposing political opinions.

It depends what you're referring to as "politics", that could be pretty broad. And it's not possible to just "mail in votes" fyi... you must be registered to vote and you get one per registration and you can only register once. You can't vote by just "mailing in a vote" LOL... anytime I hear that I just think... ugh... dumb.

I have some strong feelings politically and state so on my profile. Do I blog about it No. Do I talk about sex here? No. Do I talk about relationships? No.
Am I having sex? Probably not with anyone I have interacted with here.

I agree with WickedTessa...

The lack of respect (not aimed at anyone specifically on this blog) is the biggest problem that our country is facing. We are a country of diversity and independent minded thinking. We are all going to have our own opinions and our own political beliefs, we don't have to agree but just because we differ in opinions does not mean we dismiss someone with a different political view as a racist, a representative of all that is wrong with our country or the sole representative of their political party.

Let's keep it respectful folks. We don't have to agree but we have to keep it respectful.

Politicians come and go (quite honestly most of them can go) but we the people are forever.

I'll tell you what pisses me off...
It infuriates me when I see or hear about people who NEVER served their country, who never made a sacrifice for the flag and they have the audacity to disrespect our vets.

You may remember about 10 years ago there was a funeral where a vet was being laid to rest, and a group of 20 somethings heckled the family as they were burying their son/brother (and I am sure he was much more to other people) attending his service.

I admit I never served, but I will never criticize a man or woman who had the balls to serve when I did not.

I salute you brother and thank you for your sacrifice!

Politics and sex have always been intertwined, from Abortion to Gay marriage to censorship all the way back to when political agreements hinged on a successful union between members of each group. Success being judged on did they have sex or not, there have been wars over people not fucking and there is tons of people on this site who couldn't legally fuck until very recently. Political policy directly affects people's sex lives, Eg: The one child rule that existed in China, or Apartheid in South Africa dictating who can fuck, in the 60s sex was explicitly political in the Anti-war movement it was an act of protest.

What is relevant politics and what is just stupidity probably depends a whole lot on which person you ask, in general inserting topics that are not related into discussion is annoying and if it's political insertions it is rude independent of which person is asked. Anyone who walks into a solemn baptism and yells " GO LAKERS" is a fucking tool, same thing. Just saying "no politics" though is basically shorthand for "no politics I don't like", changing it to no hijacking threads or baiting is easier to moderate.

I Believe people can come and do and say as they like. Long as it is not offensive ,mean ,hateful or other wise negative and demeaning to others. Hey that might be their game to meet a Woman Or a Man!

Myself I come here for a bit of a distraction. As I do not go to live clubs (except for Jazz ,Live poetry) this site is my hang out/Strip club bar! Me. I prefer we keep it Kinky freaky and sexual! Of course we can chat to get to know each other outside of sex but I did come here for the SEX and I AM HORNY and SEX LIKE IS ZERO!

Now as far as someone taking a jab at this person political wise that made no sense and you are right had NOTHING TO do with the blog so I say if it is not political keep it out of it.

From an independent point of view, whether left or right bashing, it just makes the person sound brainwashed. They just regurgitate the same CNN or FN talking points. There's several profiles that do it, and as soon as I see it, I close their profile. I wouldn't want to meet any of those wackos.

People have the right to post about any topic they want to on their own blogs (subject to this site's TOU). It's up to the reader who only wants to read about sexual topics to select the blogs relevant to their interests and move on from the ones that aren't. Nobody is forcing you to click on every single blog post shown. So if you don't like it, hit the Back button and quit bitching. Pay attention to the bloggers' names and avoid reading posts made by those bloggers who choose topics uninteresting to you.

That said, anyone who writes a blog post should take care to title it well enough to identify its subject. I click or skip based on the title of the blog.

Also, it's polite to comment in a way that's related to the topic of the original post. I don't know the context since I didn't see it, but in general, it strikes me as rude to make a political comment in response to a post asking for relationship advice, because it's so off-topic. I've deleted quite a few off-topic or offensive comments from my own posts, which is also my right to do. Nobody else has a right to dictate what I post about but they have the right to refuse to read anything I post.
