This morning I waited at the doctorʻs office for over an hour before I was brought back. then it too another 45 mins to see the doctor. That annoys me.
What has also set me ablaze this morning is the inability people have to recognize others opinions. I hear so much talk about "free speech" yet when your opinion is not the "popular" one or the PC one or the majorityʻs people demonize you, call for apologies and ask for laws to be changed to ban your opinion.
Because someone is seemingly ignorant to the majority does not mean that they are no longer entitled to free speech.
Because someone is insensitive does not mean that they are not entitled to free speech.
Because someone thinks differently than you do, does NOT mean then are not entitled to free speech.
Does it suck when people use derogatory terms towards someone you care about? Sure it does, but that is not harassment nor is it bullying. And it should not be illegal. And people should not be persecuted for their opinions. Is that NOT what Free Speech is about?
If an author writes a book on a subject you do not like or find offensive; donʻt buy the book.
If a politician is on the other-side of abortion than you; donʻt vote for them.
If an actor is on the opposing side of same-sex marriage; donʻt watch their movies.
What you should do however is let them have their opinion. Simply saying you disagree with that opinion is enough! Because just like you, the people on the other-side-of-the-coin are entitled to safely express their opinions!
And people- SUCK IT UP! Stop whining and crying about the little stuff because people stop listening. We are turning into a Nation that "Cries Wolf" ALL DAY LONG!!! Focus on the big picture.
