There is nothing wrong with holding opposing opinions about anything, there is everything wrong about verbally abusing someone because they have different opinions.
I for example despise everything involved with socialism, the left, Labour, trade unions, marxism, the welfare state and all the other parasitic bits involved with left wing politics. BUT on this forum Barneyboy and I often clash quite harshly because he is left of centre in his beliefs, I cannot stand some of the things he endorses but by god I will fight to my very last breath to ensure he is fre to say them.
So disagreeby all means, agree to disagree as you wish, but no verbally abusing or haranguing people who have opinions and philosphies different to your own. Besides everyone else is wrong and i am right
Sorry Northern Raider for my outburst, but Nazi Bombs and bullets killed many of my family in the Coventry Blitz, Dunkirk, Libya and Normandy so I find being called one very rude and offensive. I'll bugger off and can beans now that way I can't upset anyone...
Busted!!
The very words of Nietzsche:-
Nietzsche heavily criticized his sister's husband, Bernhard Förster, and his sister, speaking harshly against the "anti-Semitic canaille.": "I've seen proof, black on white, that Herr Dr. Förster has not yet severed his connection with the anti-Semitic movement...Since then I've had difficulty coming up with any of the tenderness and protectiveness I've so long felt toward you. The separation between us is thereby decided in really the most absurd way. Have you grasped nothing of the reason why I am in the world?...Now it has gone so far that I have to defend myself hand and foot against people who confuse me with these anti-Semitic canaille; after my own sister, my former sister, and after Widemann more recently have given the impetus to this most dire of all confusions. After I read the name Zarathustra in the anti-Semitic Correspondence my forbearance came to an end. I am now in a position of emergency defense against your spouse's Party. These accursed anti-Semite deformities shall not sully my ideal!!".
Seems both Nietzsche and myself have the same problem, we were called racists by people that neither knew us or had the common courtesy to understand us. Nietzsche was cold in his grave when Hitler came to power, although when Hitler was perverting Nietzshe's lifes work I bet he was spinning in that grave.
