Well, apparently my last blog was a failure. ha. Oh well, thanks to those who did comment on the subject.
I've become a little disappointed in the general temperment of many members on the site.
It seems a large number of those here like to project themselves as being open-minded, forward thinking individuals. The majority seem to view themselves as liberal and accepting of others. Diverse, perhaps.
But I've found that with many, any opinion that does not fit in with their line of thinking is immediately dismissed and often attacked. When I've posed questions to others in an attempt to understand their viewpoint, I've had the posts deleted. It was as if they thought it was rude to even think about questioning their views.
How is it that those who portray themselves as being accepting and inclusive are seemingly among the most closed-minded and unwilling to discuss alternative viewpoints?
I suppose I should not expect any replies from those included in this category, since it's apparent that they are unwilling to discuss issues with those who don't fall in line behind them in their views.
Thus, if you ARE inclined to share your thoughts on this issue, it's likely that you are not one under consideration.
But all thoughts are welcome. I promise not to delete anyone who questions me.
