You can't accept all view points. That's stupid. Some deserve to be rejected out of hand. Are you saying we should be accepting of anarchists? Neonazis? People who believe slavery should be legal? What the hell? Does that honestly make sense to you?

Besides, i believe people should disagree on things. If we never challenge each other, our philosophies can never truly improve. Challenge and arguing makes us think harder. It tests our philosophies. It sees who's right, and whos' wrong. If we all never challenged each other's beliefs and just let them be, really bad philosophies would come about as a result and go unchecked. People would grow dull. We'd be accepting different things as objective truth, which is rediculous.

Also, what the flying fbreeze is "true peace"? Is that some nebulous liberal concept used to get at people's emotions, just like it sounds?

1. By accept, I mean accept that they exist and that, as terrible as they can be, people have the right to them. There isn't such thing as a wrong opinion. There's such thing as an inhumane or appalling one, but it's all subjective. Nothing's outright wrong unless it stops being an opinion. Regardless, the people that hold them are still people. Even if they're horrible people, they at least deserve a chance.

2. There's nothing wrong with disagreement. Open-mindedness has nothing to do with that.

3. Flying febreeze? That's a new one.

4. True peace: actual, viable peace that lasts. It's millennia off, unfortunately. It's what occurs when humanity learns to coexist. None of Rocket's sarcastic definitions fit the bill at all, either: Orwellian governmental control still causes tension and is oppression, convertion to one religion by no means prevents conflict, and everyone being the same does not mean we won't fight each other. If everyone's dead, humanity isn't coexisting either: it's not existing at all.
