Black and White World (extreme thinking)

[PassTheChocolate]

I don't think CESpeed is expecting the group hug. It's pretty clear she is not referring to personal preferences; we are all entitled. The title of the thread is pretty simple; black and white thinking - another term for ignorance.

It's the incessant preaching and judging. Labeling something as abnormal instead of different. Looking down your nose at people and different ideas. Thinking you know it all when you don't. Having no capacity for objectivity and not backing your sermons.

If I'm wrong, I'm certain she will correct me.

Pass this is why I love you. You totally get it. I could have sworn I clearly excluded true harmful or hurtful behavior as unacceptable. I am talking about general acceptance. Say someone you meet dresses differently than you do or has a wild haircut, but is otherwise a very nice person, why should that person be excluded because they are different? Every person is different we all have different experiences and tastes. Why do I have to agree with you for us to get along?

A friend and I use the term "agree to disagree". It's great.

Yes I give Killer crap for being a misogynist. Yes, his opinions bother me, but he's entitled. And since I know where he's coming from, I would never get into a romantic relationship with him or allow anyone I care about to go anywhere near him. But he isn't hurting me, so do I care if he scr*ws his way through whatever town he lives in? No. Why? He isn't hurting me and he has a right to his opinion.
