What issues do you have difficulty talking about when nobody seems to want to approach it in a mature manner? (kbin.melroy.org)

And by 'mature manner' I mean, without resorting to name calling, being illogical, unreasonable .etc

I've recently tried addressing the immigration issue and as expected, three people just came at me emotionally charged than simply discussing the issue I've had with it. I've seen what I've seen, read what I've read of it and nothing I believe that I have a problem with it is being stemmed from some underlying hatred towards a group of people.

My problem with it is the prioritization and lack of regulation in regards to immigration. It is a serious issue. But god forbid you want to talk of it, people resort to "U XENOPHOBIC" or "WE ALL WER IMMIGRANTS AT ONE POINT!". Just completely wiffing on the issue I've already presented with it.

What is this subject for you?

Do you really think this is a "mature manner"?

You gave your opinion in another thread, got some replies that were trying to engage in discussion with you, then you ignored them all and came over here to whine about how everyone else is immature and can't handle discussions about those topics. Seems pretty ironic to me

I think a better title for this question might be "What issue do you feel strongly about but have weak arguments for and can only tolerate agreement with your position about?"
