A lot of my friends on facebook put polical shit on their facebook. Most of it irritates me because I don't agree with it. If you disagree with it, is facebook a place to debate it with everybody seeing what goes on?

I do not see debating anything on Facebook as being very productive. That is where people post their opinion and they are not really looking for a debate. Your fiends might be different than mine though.

Some of my causes could be considered political, many of which are veteran or Army organizations.
But I never post political shit on there.

I made the mistake of getting into an argument with a guy (old bf) on facebook about the presidential race...we are no longer friends....suits me just fine though...he was a real ass.

Facebook is a horrible place to put political and religious debate. It's format doesn't promote open and threaded discussion like a bulletin board does. At best it's drive by political trolling. And frankly, *most* of the people that I'm facebook friends with probably aren't capable or willing to think critically about either topic.

Sure do.
Does Scientology represent my political views as well?

No but when my friends do I usually throw up a comment that will send them into a tirade even if I dont believe it. Just because I like watching the monkeys dance for me.

I'm probably the most apolitical of all of my friends. I try to keep my affiliations close to the vest. I think that's the tasteful way to go about such things.

Of course... on facebook my friends only have the option to "Like" my opinion so it always works out

neither politics, religion, nor opinion has any place on my facebook page. It never ends well.

i always make statements that piss off at least half the population, and politics is a great topic for that.

I keep most of it to myself because I never know who is going to see what. Especially since I would say < 5% of my "friends" are actually friends. Maybe < 2%. Bunch of relatives and old high school assholes.
I don't go on Facebook.
I'm an adult.
