I chose "They're OK", mainly because even if I do think these are sensitive topics and I don't participate much because is mainly US politics, so far I've seen that most of the FoLCs that actively participate have a civilized discussion,stating their POV but not trying to persuade the other into seeing things their way.
Maybe sometimes the discussion might have gotten too 'hot' but the participants or this board(or Zoom's) moderator has been able to control things. At least that's the impression I have of the L&C boards.
So while the people that's interested in discussing politics is capable to be civilized, I think they're OK.
I mean, that's somewhat encouraging the freedom of thought and expression,right? We could have different POVs about any subject but also we should be free to voice them and be sure to *respect* the other person when expressing their's.
