What is it about politics that makes people go insane?

Are you SURE? I think you haven't seen yet a OpenSource™ flame war... it's scary to say the least!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nah, I mean... sometimes, but not often.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

He said that no other discussion get people riled up as politics, well OpenSource™ does, maybe not as many people as politics but those who engage in such discussion do it with all their might.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Lord Styphon:
Yeah I guess you have a point there, if we read the word 'people' as in the total of the population then yes, politics is really the ticket, nothing will get the total of the population so riled up as it.

Well all I know it's the good old saying: "I don't discuss football, politics and religion"

If you do like this will stay clear of a bunch of problem and nasty situations, plus it will keep the shine in your nails :-P


EDIT: It can also be argued that everyone is insane and there are planty of proofs of it so it's hard to dismiss, therefor politics is just the fuse to unearth the madness of the mankind and it does an excelent job at it.

So it's not:
"What is it about politics that makes people go insane?"

but rather:
"What is it about politics that unearths the raving madness ingrained in mankind?"
