[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not have time or interest in being friends with people who: insist global warming is false, want to blow up Obama Care, think being gay is wrong, and believe everyone should be carrying around guns.  [/quote]

liberal here.  I don't understand how any of this impacts a day-to-day friendship.  I agree global warming exists, that obama care is better than no obama care, that there is nothing wrong about being gay, and that easy access to guns is a factor in causing violence.  BUT someone can believe the opposite and still be a lovely, kind, empathetic person, and a great mother and friend.  Yes, all this stuff is important, but it pales when compared to the importance of a person's temperament and humor and acceptance of me as a friend and support of me as a mother.[/quote]

So if someone is nice to you, it doesn't matter that their politics oppress others?[/quote]

Not the PP, but I don't particularly care if a person I make pleasant chit-chat with (or even have over to my house for dinner) is, e.g., anti-abortion or anti gay marriage, though I disagree with them on that. I wouldn't vote people with those beliefs into office, but I fail to see why I cannot find them pleasant to interact with if we have polite conversations and mutual interests. Seriously, must everyone be a clone of each other?[/quote]
