However, no one should have to tolerate immature name calling or belittling.
I hear a lot of comments on tv and read a lot of comments in newspapers and online about people's "rights to make whatever choices they want" , but very rarely do they comment that those choices have consequences which they must/will accept. (growing up I tried to make excuses for my actions on a regular basis and I will always be grateful that my parents never tolerated that)
I enjoy reading the thoughts posted on all the subjects here.....even the ones I disagree with. I find the large variety of opinions to be fascinating and they help me to see things I hadn't considered.
