Posted in Politics & Miscellanea
As the election season closes, I think back on the article I wrote awhile ago about people having such certainty that their views are the right way, that they need to insult people who hold a different view.
If you want to lose freinds and alienate people this election season, show your intolerance for other views by either implying or saying outright that Republicans (or McCain supporters, this will work either way) are stupid/ unreasonable/ ignorant/ [insert derogative term here]. No matter that political leaning is as emotionally based as religion. You’d certainly lose freinds and alienate people if you walked around saying that all people that believe that Jesus is the son of God are stupid/ unreasonable/ ignorant/ [insert derogative term here], and it will work just as well for political leaning. Next time you’re talking to somebody whose world views you are not 100% certain of, think about this before you insult what could be theirs.
The jury is still out on how people behaved.
