I really cant understand why people get so upset that someone else has different views about things than they do ...


It's all in the delivery, Rivn =)

Let's say for funs and giggles that your favorite food is mushrooms.

Now let's say I came up to you and said "Gads, mushrooms are the nastiest substance on the whole planet. Anyone who would knowingly eat a mushroom has got to be the bleepingest bleep bleep EVER and what's more, your mama bleep bleeps. You absolutely disgust me, you bleep bleep BLEEP!"

Compare the above with...

"Oh, I don't like mushrooms at all. I'm mentally allergic to them."

The first *is going to* offend you to some degree of "offend". The second might amuse you, but is pretty much guaranteed to not offend.

=)
