Don't Insult Someone You Don't Agree With

I'm willing to listen if you are willing to stay respectful.

Don't Insult Someone You Don't Agree With

So it seems like every day myself or someone I know is called a Nazi, sexist, racist, bigot, or any hateful name in the book and it's honestly one of my biggest problems with not just a majority of liberals or so called "social justice warriors", but even conservatives and libertarians do it as well. If I say my opinion about something and you don't agree with me I'm willing to be civil and hear you out but the moment you call me any of the following things above than we are going to have a problem. You can believe and follow what you want and that's perfectly fine but you don't have the right to insult other people. Most of the time it seems like they only insult you because they don't have any other argument, so I guess putting other people down is like a new trend. Fun little story actually, is that my boyfriend who is white and jewish was called a nazi. Okay, so I guess he's a nazi who is dating an african-american girl and he is also jewish so I'm not entirely sure how that works but whatever--you do you.

If you want to argue with me about my opinion then that's fine. I would love to sit down and talk it over, but as soon as you insult me I will respectfully end the conversation and sincerely hope that you learn how to debate with someone in the proper, mature manner.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
