Where do people go to discuss politics or other topics?

Since it's not allowed here and considering the huge amount of anxiety out there at present, where do people go to discuss politics? And other off topic discussions like food and health related things. Besides Facebook, are there other forums that you frequent?

I don't frequent other forums anymore, but when I did it was usually a forum on Sparkpeople. I don't discuss politics online, but Sparkpeople was a good place for food, diet, celebrity gossip, cultural, and other health related things.

PreviouslyTV.com has a lot of funny, insightful members. A politics thread was recently started, and we all pretty much behave ourselves on it.

Some astrology sites discuss it in terms of astrological influence.

I find comments on newspaper websites offer more insight and information than the biased articles written by so called 'journalists.' According to polls, journalists, lawyers and politicians are top of the list as most despised professions.

I don't see the point of your last sentence. It is irrelevant to the thread, and potentailly offensive to people here at VF, especially those who are in the professions you mentioned.

This is why off-topic threads are not within VF rules.

I'm sure we do have VFers in those professions, not cool!

Threads like this that are on the edge inevitably disintegrate into conflict and end up being closed.

Sorry, but even a thread about where to go to talk politics was bound to get controversial quickly. If you have suggestions for the OP, please PM them.
