`Blocking - don't do it!
`Politics - it's IMPORTANT to be discussed...although sometimes I just observe and don't offer my opinion.
`Religion - Don't preach to me, and if you are true to your religion, don't judge others!
`Sexual orientation - Everyone should be happy.
`Bullying - Be nice!!
`Blanket statements - sometimes necessary, if your opinion does not change on a certain subject.
I have rarely been angered on here...if ever!
I have fun here...I like that!
What do these things mean for you on SH?

`Blanket statements
To me this equals a frenzied rat race to spew hate and cruelty to others. This is mostly done by extremists on this site who only see in black and white. They are very hurt and angry people. I'm sure they have intelligent things to say that we'd be happy to listen to them, but they don't often do that. Too busy throwing punches at what they perceive to be the opposition. Participating in this type of discussion only wastes time and kills valuable brain cells.
Luckily, most of us realize that there is a lot of gray area in life. Things aren't just one way and we can discuss how to handle these issues together in a none combative way. Name calling and clustering groups of people as one is NEVER correct. It is false and pointless. It does not prove any sort of argument whatsoever. Sticking to the facts of the situation does. Don't get slamming others confused as fact. You would be wrong.
Finally, the truth is none of us like to be pigeon holed into a mold that does not fit. And none of us like to be bashed for our thoughts. Most of us are completely respectful in expressing our beliefs and are still bashed. On this site, that is really nuts, because the site is all about opinions. I do believe in the blocking feature to protect from stalking type abusers, but those should be turned in and SH will take care of it. I don't believe in using blocking to hush entire groups of people simply because they express and opinion I do not like. That is abuse of the feature.
To conclude, I hope we can start here and in other posts, with intelligent conversation. I hope we can bridge gaps between groups and find come common ground. And if you can't, leave it be. Just walk away, Why make a SH drama out of it? You are most important. Don't let yourself get risen to that level of anger. Do better for yourself.
Any thoughts?

`Politics: Something that needs to be discussed, too bad more people won't do it intelligently.
`Religion: Something to be discussed, not attacked.
`Sexual orientation: Non-issue.
`Bullying: Something that shouldn't go on.
`Blanket statements: Should usually be avoided.
I think some people are so set in their ways that anything new that isn't in line with their set of beliefs is something that will automatically have them pulling out a machine gun and going, "Blam!"
Even if that thing they don't believe in has absolutely no impact on their lives what-so-ever.
