You are entitled to your opinion but you are not entitled to have other people care about your opinion.

That’s the problem with today’s discourse. People who express abrasive opinions will say that they are only telling “the truth.” What they really mean is that they enjoy being controversial or on the edge.

Being a pain in the backside doesn’t necessarily mean that you have honesty on your side or that you are, in some way, smarter than everyone else.

I can see how you could make that mistake though. In today’s world, the loudest people get noticed, the strangest behavior gets press time, and the more out there you are, the more you think you have a unique point of view.

Do you want the truth? The truth is that ancient beliefs didn’t survive this long without being, well, true. Look to the past and you’ll find the truth and the truth will set you free.

People don't abuse animals, no matter what the culture. People don't abuse each other, no matter what the advantage to themselves. Treat others the way you expect to be treated. Pretty simple stuff!

Okay, those of you who don’t agree can block me. Thanks for listening.

Now, is there a chance to organize a Roaring 20's Party one of these days?

I don't know of any hate list. I would never associate the "H" word with a person. I might say I hate tofu but that would be it.
