Opinions and the Troubles they cause.

Admit it, we live in a world where very rarely, someone is respected entirely for their opinions. And if you are, that I say CONGRATZ!! More often then not, someone will get upset or hurt or pissed or any other number of things when you tell them just how they feel. And, in my opinion (see what I did there, hehe) I dont think thats right. Its one of my biggest pet peeves when people yell at someone and tell them their personal opinion is wrong, just because they dont agree with it. I know how this feels First hand.

Im very opinionated, and Im happy to admit that. I was raised to think for myself and to not anyone influence me on how I think or jeopardize my views. But there is always someone that tells me Im wrong, or tries to make me feel stupid for believing something that I do. It never fails, and hardly ever works. Im very stubborn and thick headed, just ask my boyfriend, and very VERY rarely do people ever manage to insult me over something that I believe. It all honesty, it just makes me laugh and shrug my shoulders, but still it gets very tiresome when Im seemingly always attacked for my views.

For example, the SB-5 that was defeated in Texas just a couple days ago. I posted on my twitter, which is linked to my facebook, that I was happy that it was beaten, and that I #standwithwendy. My opinion on this type of bill is simple: I dont believe anyone has the right to tell women what they can and cannot do with their body, especially not old white MEN. Very rarely do these men know what they are talking about, and just because they dont agree with something doesnt mean they should be able to control it. The men Im talking about are the Republicans in the Texas Government.

Now, a lot of people are upset that this bill didnt get passed and they do believe that a woman's reproductive right should be placed in the hands of the government (I dont know why, and for a party that wants LESS government involvement, they sure try to have the government control a whole lot). I respect their opinions and I will defended their right to have them, whether or not I agree with them at all. And I dont, as I stated before. But It never fails that someone got their panties in a twist and got mad at me for what I said and how I felt.

I have republican friends. Some are far right, some arent as far right as others. Some say they are Republican but are more like me and tend to me more neutral when it comes to politics. But one of these "Friends" Texted me last night and told me he couldnt be friends with me anymore because I was Pro-Choice and I wasnt thinking of the unborn babies. And my reply? It was as followed

"Do what you want, but a unborn fetus isnt a citizen of the country. The Pregnant mother is"

Oh the backlash I got from that. He then proceeded to call me a number of names, including baby-killer (I guess he thinks Im an abortion doctor myself, even though my degree is in Special Effects) and other names that I will not recite here on this blog for fear of the age of the person that is reading this. In truth, I laughed and replied with a "lol, QQ more, your anger sustains me"When he was done, and he had removed me from Facebook, I rolled my eyes and went back to watching tv and trying to get some sleep. But thats not the point.

The point is, someone was trying to tell me I was wrong for what I believed in. FOR MY OPINION! An Opinion that didnt affected him in any way, shape, or form, other than to wake him up from a world that doesnt completely agree and follow him and others like him blindly. But you know what, I dont blame him. Some people do follow their party blindly and dont think for themselves, but thats a post for another time. For now, I just want to leave off with this one word; Respect.

Respect one another, and the opinions of others. Whether you agree with them or not, they are allowed to have them, and you shouldnt get upset if they dont agree with you.
