Anyone else around my age group (18-23) give me blank stares when I mention things like Tea Party, subprime meltdown, foreclosure, general elections, financial statement, gold standard, etc. So what would be a normal conversation topic for people around my age?
Nah I think its normal. At some point in time, even I've gotten into deep political conversations with even the least inclined people. Its interesting; I discuss it rarely with some people, and quite often with others. I enjoy philosophical and theoretical economic discussions too, it really happens quite often, and not a bad way to spend an hour or two over a beer or a joint.
