Would you please explain your definition of "politics"? Are current events "politics" such as discussing the law (IMO unconstitutional in itself) mandating Sep. 17 as "Constitutional Day and Citizenship Day"? Do you consider discussing the ramifications of such things as the coming (2010) "Security and Prosperity Partnership" between Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. as "Politics"? What about such items as the effects on the taxpayers and thus the economy of Federal bail-out of the several disasters on the citizens from the hurricanes?

If so then how and to what degree can individuals really get to know fellow member's "....interest and opinions outside of our hobby"?

You will get to know other members to a degree slightly less than if you discussed politics and religion. Surely you can get to know members' interests and opinions outside the hobby by asking questions that are not political or religious in nature.

For instance:

Ford v.s. Chevy

Cabernet v.s. Chardonney

Stros v.s. Sox

Fish or steak.

I'm sure you get the idea.

The idea I get is there are not many really-important topics in some people's lives.

I have a difficult time conversing on the Six-Pack and Ball-Game level because I find almost zero interest in those areas.

So many find the same level of interest in my preferences. Oh well, it's their ball-game. Guess they get to pick the sand-lot.

Status: offline 		things dont have to be about politics to be interesting. I think that lots of things can be interesting. my reason for this is partly because I think that if you think about anything for long enough it can seem funny. I mean, take potatoes for instance. not very interesting... right? but I've seen some very funny posts about them that reffer to them being launched from potato guns and stuff. and if that ever has anything to do with politics, that could be a problem... lol!

Whatever happened to Kevin Kline, anyway?
