The political "debate" on Internet.
Frankly, every time I read two lines in which someone gives his opinion about politic I jump to the next comment or new (it's possible that someone will do the same with this text). The 95% of the times it's the same discussion, PP vs. PSOE (the two main parties in Spain), they say if this one is too evil, if the other is a thief, if this one is a liar, if other is a lizard. The supporting arguments that they give to these statements, if are given, are vague and truth less.
Recently this kind of discussion is always about the same topic, piracy. I suppose that this is because of the sites I visit like Bandaancha, a specialized Spanish site about internet and broadband, or Barrapunto, the Spanish version of Slashdot.
When I read these discussions, I see that all become a sequence of insults that don't lead to anywhere. Many times they say that "this happens because of the government", referring to the new stronger laws for Internet. I have read this comment at the present time, with PSOE's presidency, and before, with PP's presidency. In the case of the actual government, it’s clear that this is not only its fault, because they don't govern with absolute majority. I think that it's appropriated to make an approach to how things work in Spain.
To obtain a law, it is required an elaboration and later on the agreement of the majority of the politicians in the parliament. It's not something that the government can ask for and quickly have it. First, they have to expose the need of this law, and after it, choose the people how are going to elaborate it, write it, present the result and vote the corrections to the law, and finally, approve by voting. It's not as simple as people use to think. Additionally, the laws can be proposed by other political parties different from the government, or even the citizens, and if they are accepted to course, the result will be a law that doesn't comes from the government.
It's great to see people giving their opinion with such passion, there is some "dialog", but to express an accusation, evidences must be given, always. Otherwise, don't be surprised if they go against you.

About anything there is, at least, one point of view per person, and some people has more than one.
