Is it True???

hello whiteheather, I don't think you are a fanatic-fa·nat·ic [fuh-nat-ik]–noun 1.a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics. - so you are not extreme only interested,consider yourself healthy lol

Every citizen of any country should be involved in politics!! Only then can we have decent government that works for the good of the citizens, not their own good. Point out to your friend that because of our general non-involvement in politics for the past few decades, we now have a government who is testing the waters of oppression of free speech while continuing the bankrupting of our nation that it vowed to correct. You are not a fanatic. You see something is wrong and you, like many of us, are frantically calling for action and trying to get people involved. I thank you for your efforts! By the way, where did you immigrate from? Do you ever miss it? Why did you immigrate and are you glad you did?

I will join your other friends in saying that you are not a fanatic. That has a rather negative connotation. I really admire the interest that you take in politics. You could be an excellent example to many.

Sometimes and even a lot of times that happens but not all of the time. My husband was raised Lutheran and converted to Mormon. I was raised Presbyterian and still am. He has never tried to convert me. If he did, I'd really give him hell.

I would imagine that the people you interact with in your real life know you a lot better than the folks here and have had more opportunities to form general opinions based on many factors. Since you don't normally discuss politics with this group, perhaps a change was noted that did compare to religious fanatics. One person's healthy curiosity and opinions can be another person's fanaticism.

Haha, relax, you're not fanatic. :) Probably they're just not used to you discussing that subject. Maybe they're not used to seeing you have a healthy interest for politics.

I dont think ya have I think your views very healthy hugssssssssssssssssssssssssss

lololol sometimes you feel like a nut.....

Most converts are a little fanatical about their support of a new organization (religion, country, etc) when they are first accepted into the organization. Most of them mellow over the years. They still support it; but, not so vehemently. However, there are a few people who were fanatics before they convert and just switch the focus of their fanaticism. They will continue to be fanatics until the day they die. So, unless you were a fanatic before you became a naturalized citizen, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If some on MyLot agree that you're a political fanatic, then they'd have to admit that they are too. I don't think you discuss politics any more or less than the rest of us. So we're either all curious or fanatics...and I personally don't feel like a fanatic.
