| Just because we do not agree on everything, doesn't mean we can't be friends... This blog appeared as an opinion article in the 09-06-12 edition of the Kaua'i Garden Island news, "We can agree to disagree." http://thegardenisland.com/news/opinion/mailbag/letters-for-thursday-sept/article_fffd9c1a-f801-11e1-9ba6-0019bb2963f4.html |
Society has changed quite a bit since the introduction of social media. people on facebook will unfriend you if you endorse a political candidate they don't like, or support a religion they are not.
It used to be people could be friends and have differences of opinions, not any more. I named my dog Obama and my Republican friends no longer invite me to their weekly potlucks I used to be part of.
Many people have unfriended me on facebook. I support some Democrats, some Republicans , some Green,and some Independents. I consider myself to be an Independent.
It's either think exactly like me or get out of my life.
The following quote from Rick Warren says it all;
"Our culture has accepted two huge lies.
The first is that if you disagree with someones lifestyle, you must fear them or hate them.
The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do.
Both are nonsense. You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate."
And if you don't agree with me I'm never talking to you again!
