Writer's Block: Agree to disagree
Oct. 1st, 2009 12:07 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]I'm not going to lie...In the past I've had to disassociate myself with people who were too far on the left (I don't come across too many far-right people here in NY, but I am sure if I did the results would be the same). It had less to do with our divergent views as much as they felt the need to try to make me "in the wrong" for my views or get all offended and OMG!!! DX If our views are that strongly divergent that it hurts the friendship more than helps it, then we have to go our own way. It's fruitless for me to get into a debate w/someone that generates nothing but elevated blood pressure.
Most of the people in my life have views that do not correlate with mine...Even in my own family. There are those who I will probably never go beyond casual acquantences with because our views differ greatly and that is fine. The only people I probably would not associate with are those whose views or actions are harmful to others (ie- racists, homophobes, zionists, radicals, etc.).
