I have strong opinions on most topics of discussion. It does not mean that I am right in those opinions but nontheless they are mine and if someone else doesn't adopt my beliefs and ideas on a topic......then that means they are sticking to their opinions. It does not make one more right than the other, but what it does do at times is make one think long and hard and hopefully at the very least understand and respect another's right to uphold their beliefs without the fear of retaliation. I may not agree with someone's thoughts on a topic but I do try to give the same courtesy to them as I expect in return.

As someone else said in this thread "Can't we just agree to disagree?" I think this thread was supposed to be a debate not a war of words ending in anger and hurt.......

I shall step down off the soapbox now! BIBI has left the building!
