[singing:]
So let's leave it alone
'Cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and we just disagree

So many refuse to learn this and loose becoming friends with different ideas.

I have a lot of respect for the Hegelian dialectic. It helps to stay relaxed and be less dogmatic. It's the thesis, antithesis and synthesis idea. You say something, I say something else, the truth lies somewhere in the mix. There will always be times where somebody comes out with opinions that are just unacceptable to most people but the Hegelian dialectic is great for all the stuff in the grey area.

YES - I tell that to my kids all the time. I love you but I respectfully disagree and that is OK. Neither of us are wrong, we just have different experiences and different perspectives which by the way I would love to discuss.

Where it comes to religion, because I disagree with you I pity you.

Yea...I probably hate you for other reasons!

That's so true. I hate seeing the side of people that comes out when things get political these days. I just avoid it when possible but that doesn't change anything so we don't get better. We need to learn to debate ideas without getting personal.
