[QUOTE="boger2337, post: 448685, member: 4089"] I think the problem is people put to much emphasis on what others beliefs are. Do I care what you like or dislike? No. Do I care if you are treated fairly? Yes. If we care so much about someone's religion, allegiance, and opinions on political parties then we have already lost the battle and the war. The ignorance staggers me, honestly. Do I care if you stand for the flag? Hell no. Do I care if you punch me in the face, or attack me personally? Yes. Unless something is personal then dont make it personal. Its dumb to be worked up over a flag. Yes it stands for a lot, but at the end of the day its a flag. Do your best to make the community around you better by appreciating and loving one another. If that was a core value, then we wouldn't have people kneeling and everyone would love and appreciate the flag. Because news flash the American culture is broken. Its profit driven not people driven. It's when we go the hard way to help someone is when we make a difference, not hand them money and move on. Again why I'm not a fan of religion. A lot of good is done, but a lot is in name of status or the "right to say in honor of a god". I do things for others because it's my responsibility as a human because I share a planet with other living things. I love others because I see what the alternative brings. Before you stop watching a network or brand because there players have alternate beliefs from you, think about being in their shoes. Absorb the idea that maybe their universe is different from yours. They were raised differently. As we all are. Of course it would be easy if we all thought the same. But its human nature to want to argue and *****. So we wouldn't be happy would we? Haha. [/QUOTE]
