[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 1364779, member: 1465"] I understand. There was a similar divergence in our latest group as well, but we simply managed not to talk about these topics during gaming. Perhaps it was easier here in Finland, because the most common thing to do around here is not to disclose too much of your political opinions. If it has happened to me in a group in Italy, where politics is nowadays the most sensitive subject (but at the same time everyone just has to let everybody know his own opinion :D ) it could have be much more troublesome. Sadly, I more or less lost a few friends in Italy in the past 10 years due to political divergences. But back to Albuquerque, I think it always happens in a group of people to have strong oppositions about something, it even happens in every family! But it must be easy to work it out (unless some individual has an aggressive behaviour because of it) for the sake of enjoying the game, just as you have to work it out on your working place: putting aside what has nothing to do with the reason you meet if it brings only arguments. So far the only reason that IMHO makes it really difficult to stay in a group is age difference: that really changes too much. Although I have to say that this is only a speculation of mine, since I always gamed with people close to my age, and I am sure that someone works this out as well. [/QUOTE]
