Agree to disagree

I generally keep my comments to myself because anyone that knows me, knows that I am a very very opinionated person and I don't like to offend people. I try to filter a lot of things but sometimes things just fall through my filter. I try my hardest to listen to every ones opinions and take something from their opinions, even if it is, I agree to disagree with them.

Today in society, one cant say anything or stand for anything without getting harshly criticized or beaten down for what they believe. Everyone has their own belief system. Everyone has their own philosophies on life. I am the first to say, when I feel I may offend someone "this is what I believe. This is my philosophy for ME!" I dont expect you to love everything I say or stand for. All I expect is for you to respect me enough to agree to disagree with me.

So I may stand up and say what my feelings are on dating. Those are my opinions and philosophies. So I may decide I want to stand up and go eat at a fast food chain because I feel they have been wrongly judged for what THEY believe in. These are my rights as I am an citizen of a country that says we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Let me use my freedom of speech! Let me voice what I want to voice. And guess what, I will let you voice what you want to voice. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and philosophies. And if I need to I will agree to disagree! I wont argue with you on the philosophies of your life! But I will stand up for myself if you argue with me! You can guarantee that! fact is how many people are truly swayed to the other side by arguing... my guess, not very many. One cant push their beliefs down another person throat and expect them to change. We have the right to think for ourselves and establish what we believe in! 

My grandmother use to say, "If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all!" Lets remember that when we want to step on someones God give right to an opinion! And if you have to, remember to agree to disagree!
