I have an opinion.
A big thing that I have noticed on the internet is that everyone seems to be mad that everyone else has an opinion. I like to believe that I have always been respectful of other people's opinions and views. You believe what you believe and I'll believe what I'll believe and everyone should be happy, right? Wrong.
All I see in the world is people arguing and tearing each other apart over having an opinion and that's just absolutely ridiculous! Everyone is allowed to think whatever they want and broadcast it (respectfully) wherever they want regardless of if you agree with it or not. I have tons of friends that don't have the same opinions as I do and we get along great because we are RESPECTFUL of each other.
How does it affect you if, for example, you believe in God and someone else does not? How does them not believing in God really affect your life? It doesn't, or rather it shouldn't, but alas here we are at each other's throats because everyone doesn't believe everything in the exact same way you do.
That is a horribly close-minded way to live your life, and I don't see how anyone can be happy that way. Why would someone actively choose to go to youtube and watch a video about something they don't agree with and then say something hateful in the comments section? You are not helping any part of your 'cause' by doing something like that. People that do these things make me so mad because it's completely unnecessary and frankly pathetic.
We already live in a hate-fueled world; stop letting hateful comments pull you into an argument that no one is going to win. Do you really think someone that's spouting hate in the comment section of a youtube video is actually going to listen to you when you tell them "you're stupid and wrong and yada yada blah"? No. Those people are pot stirrers and have no desire to hear anything.
We are all allowed to believe in whatever we want to believe in. As long as you are respectful about it. You don't believe that LGBTQ+ individuals should have the same rights as you? Okay. Let's have a calm talk about why you think that so I can try to understand where you're coming from and why. No need to shout. No need to name call. We can talk calmly.
You don't believe in abortion? Fine. We can talk calmly about why you believe that as well. You believe guns should be banned? Yeah okay, can you tell me why you think that without trying to shovel it down my throat? We can have these conversations and many, many more as long as everyone can be calm, collected, and respectful.
Everything starts and ends with being respectful to one another. Why is that so hard for the entire world to understand?
