>>3478800that's okay, i'm still here.
regarding arguing, it can be enjoyable and you can do it without getting upset imo. or it can be just shitflinging. i don't enjoy that, but occasionally it can be entertaing.
regarding everybody needing to calm down and shit, i agree that would be nice. except the people /pol/ hates aren't willing to calm down. so if you're calm, while the other side is aggressive, you're going to get left in the dust. so you can't really calm down. not to mention the things /pol/ is always going on about aren't only happening in the hallowed halls of debate of the internet, they're going on in the real world too. you've got islamic terror, you've got a europe in a demographic crisis taking in a foreign aggressive population with a high fertility rate, you've got literal leftist sjws affecting policy.
take this for example, this is from a couple of months ago:
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/10/07/health/california-hiv-bill-signed/index.htmltl;dr in california, the senate reduced the sentence for knowingly KNOWINGLY infecting somebody with HIV and REMOVED the sentence for knowingly donating HIV infected blood. they did this simply to "reduce the stigma" against HIV-infected people. no other reason.
the reason i showed you this article is just to help you understand /pol/. i know you won't be on /pol/'s side any time soon, but i hope you can at least see why they're constantly so wound up. it's because they constantly follow the news and see all this shit, from all corners of society. that's why they won't and can't be calming down any time soon. that's just the way it is.
that said, i do hate the retards who came over from reddit and are just trump's cheerleading squad and i hate the paranoid schizos who call everything a conspiracy and screech about shills, but that's not all there is to /pol/
