somewhat back on point, i am going to make an assuption, that may or may not be true.
that most open minded people (in regards to these kinds of topics) were probably more conservative at one time or another.
do you think open minded people are more tolerant of conservative minded people, than conservative minded people are of open minded people?
i just wonder, because if the open minded person had been more conservative at one time, they may have a little understanding into conservative thinking, but probably not the other way around.
ah. it does take some of the punch out of it if there isn't anything constructive left behind as well. well now, it appears that i was quick to be steered in a direction because of my experiences. where have i heard something like that before?
but, its really easy to get back on point, and, if the blog is long, some may feel they are missing something going on in here, and possibly drop off a new on point opinion to be discussed while they are here. which could actually be helpful, no? and, give you something to do while waiting for someone to steer things back on point.
stuff like this can bring out hostility sometimes.
if someone is against the whole idea for themselves, and had a bad experience where they had a boyfriend that tried to pressure them into that type of relationship, they may automatically just assume that is always the case.
in some peoples minds it automatically becomes a, "how dare he pressure you like that" thing.
even if it might have been her idea. regardless of whose idea it was,
if a couple is in love and considering something like this, they have their whole lives ahead to toy with the idea before taking action, and to figure out if it really is right for them or not.
i have heard this term before. it kind of makes sense.
it is really not much different than choosing to hang out with positive minded people, instead of negative minded people.
i have had jobs where i have had to do troubleshooting and problem solving.
and, had coworkers that were positive. and coworkers that were negative. the negative ones weren't trying to help you solve the problem.
i found myself having to put more focus into blocking their comments out and come up with solutions in spite of their presence, when they were negative.
i have even had to go so far as to say, "if you don't want to do this, then go sit in the truck."
if someone accepts my beliefs before marrieage, but tries to convert me after marriage, i would feel betrayed. i would question whether they ever really accepted our differences or not. were they pretending to accept, with plans to try to change me later?
