Are there any issues where you have no position?

Are there any issues where your position is "no position"?

[sharesunited]

1. I'm too opinionated. I would welcome indifference on something.

Sports rivalries? American Idol contestants? Yes, IDGAS.

[thunder rising]

2. my ex...I can't get a position on her at all!!

[LWolf]

3. Boxers or briefs. nt

[Recovered Repug]

14. Depends. n/t

[LWolf]

30. .

"Depends" instead of boxers or briefs, or whether one chooses boxers or briefs depends on the circumstances?

:rofl:

[lunatica]

4. Things I'm not savvy enough about

I prefer to know what the issue is about before forming my ideological position. I'm not too big on just doing the knee jerk reaction that find to be rather shallow.

[Quantess]

5. Gun talk bores me to near tears.

Guns are boring.

[scheming daemons]

6. agreed....that's one that just doesnt fire me up like it does others...

[BeFree]

7. Guns don't bore people

Bullets do.

As to the OP.... yes, I think I might, but then again maybe not.

[Kaleva]

23. "I'll give you my indifference towards guns when you take it from my cold, dead hands!" i

[Quantess]

37. That's fine. I'm confident in the ability of others to preserve my 2nd amendment rights.

The people who are passionate about guns have enough passion to go around for those of us who are lacking it.

[Captain Hilts]

8. Yes. Some things I know are too complicated for me to understand.

Or I just can't have access to the information I'd need to have an informed opinion:

The Afghan surge, for example.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

9. College basketball.

Not exactly an "issue," but something I have absolutely no interest in. Duke, UNC, NC State...whatever.

[taterguy]

27. UNC is far more progressive than Duke & NC State

At least they were when Dean was coaching

[Speck Tater]

10. "People with opinions just go around bothering each other." -- the Buddha. nt

[ThomWV]

11. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Western lands grazing, Atlantic off-shore drilling

[laughingliberal]

12. Leno or Conan nt

[Liberal In Texas]

19. +1

[Terra Alta]

13. NASCAR.

It's a big sport here, but it bores me to tears. Who wants to watch a bunch of guys driving around in circles for three hours? I'll watch my paint dry instead.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. The next American Idol

I have never watched one minute of that show.

[FrenchieCat]

16. Plenty!

Cause I don't know everything,
and I don't pretend to.

What I do is attempt to inform myself,
prior to responding to some of the issues,
or else, I'm asking questions and trying to get answers,
rather than making pronouncements and coming to conclusions.

As for using media, even if a headline sounds one way,
I still read the article critically....
and look for other sources to confirm the take in
that which I have read. Everyone has an agenda,
and so, I can't pretend to know what I don't know...
cause that might mean that I am agreeing about something,
that if I knew more, I'd have a different opinion.

I do the same when voting.....judges, propositions, etc...
I do my research on the net based on the option given
on my absentee ballot that I get 6 weeks prior to any election.

[TxRider]

17. Yes

[cherokeeprogressive]

18. Sex... NO FAVORITE POSITION.

[ChicagoSuz219]

20. National, State & Local Politics...

Just keeeding! ;-)

Let me think... there must be something...

...I'm drawing a blank.

[tango-tee]

21. Cars - makes, models, horsepower, etc. - boring boring boring

Don't even have a driver's licence.

Then again, I DO have a position. I don't like them. Sorry, I tried.

[mdmc]

22. Pretty much I just go along with what the DLC says now a-days

I have many positions, but they are all opposed by the democratic party.
End the war. and other war. and drug war.
single payer health care.
gay rights.
livable wage.
too big to fail is too big to bail...

[Touchdown]

24. Holistic medicine and Coke vs Pepsi

I'm not to exited about gun talk either. I work with both city and rural dwellers. I see both arguments, and have no strong feelings either way.

[Solly Mack]

25. Meh

[tkmorris]

26. Yes

Any issue on which I do not fully understand the arguments of both sides. Frankly I think far too many people take sides on issues they do not understand. Like, at all.

[pipi_k]

28. Lots of stuff

Like a few of the others said, there are things I don't know enough about, and probably never will...especially if they involve numbers. I'm an admitted numbers idiot.


Then there are issues where I can genuinely understand both sides, so it's real hard to take any kind of firm stand on them one way or another.

[Toots]

29. If I were a Republican I would not care about the Homeless, or the spotted Owl

or Global Warming, or whether corporations can spend all they want to influence politics, or whether black churches get burnt to the ground, or basically over half of the nation. what I would care about was me and me only.. How is it going to benefit me. Liberals care about way to many things..

[calico1]

31. I don't care if you do or don't wear white

after Labor Day. :)

[azmouse]

32. I don't care who hosts The Tonight Show.

[Jackpine Radical]

33. I tried to answer this

but just couldn't make up my mind.

I think I have no position on whether there is anything on which I have no position.

But maybe not.

[treestar]

34. Many if I do not have enough information or don't understand it

I did not understand reconciliation in the Senate at all. Recently I learned a little more about it. This made me jaded for many a post intended to make me angry that they didn't use it. I can see it is limited. But am not sure yet how it applies and what it could cover or not.

Same with the filibuster. It is complex to me and I don't fully understand it and don't know enough history. Tentatively I am for abolishing it, because the Senate already weighs down the majority with its disproportionate representation. But then someone could point out something that the Rs would have gotten without it, and I don't recall all that much recent history on the subject.

I don't really understand the effects of NAFTA and GATT. Those terms get thrown around on DU as the root of all evil, but I refuse to jump on that bandwagon unless I understand it, but don't understand enough to argue with that either.

I've learned to have no opinion on any court decision until I've looked at it. The news reports and the posts are full of opinions that lack understanding and are designed to just try to get you to be upset on some surface thing that it imperfectly understood.

[RedCrayons]

35. Baseball

Bleh.

[walldude]

36. No position is still a position..

" If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice".

[timeforpeace]

38. Climate change. Global warming I had a position on, but that the climate changes no one disputes.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

39. The ever popular "Foreskin" debate.
