Yeah, your right, everybody just has to realize that you can disagree with
someone without insulting them and just because you disagree doesn't mean
you can't get along and still respect each other. That's the point of
discussing things is getting all the viewpoints out there where everyone
can use all the info and arguments to make a more informed decision for
themselves. It's good to hear counter-arguments because they often expose
us to sides of an issue we would have never considered ourselves. Sorry
guys, I'll get off my soap-box now-
