Question

Ok so me and friend are consetetly fighting about poltics -this time its gone to far-should i tell her i dont want to be her friend is shes goin to act like this and ofrget her or should i try to patch the stitation up even if it takes years and doesnt get anywhere

Answer 1

Um wow. In a way this is the same way two guys would fight about a stupid foot ball team. I think you should suck up your pride and go apologize to your friend and explain that both of you were acting very childish over something that has nothing to do with being friends.

Answer 2

Just agree with her that you disagree on politics and find other things to talk about  :)  Make politics an off limits topic to save your friendship.  If she won't agree to do that, find someone else to hang out with!

Answer 3

The only thing worse than being a fool is trying to argue with one.

Answer 4

I would take a break from her. Tell her that she matters to you as a friend, but obviously this is something you two can't discuss together. Agree to disagree. If she isn't willing to do that much, then it might be best to walk away.

Answer 5

Maybe, you should accept your friends views. I'm not saying you have to agree with them, but people have different opinions on issues.  We should try to have open conversations about politics and not think in terms of " I'm right, you're wrong". The world isn't black and white and your friends views may seem odd to you, but normal to others.

Edit- If your friend is trying to force her beliefs on you, she is not really a very good friend anyways.

Answer 6

If your friend has stupid and unacceptable political views, maybe it is time to back off the friendship.
