Hi Carla. What I meant was that I respect everyone's right to an opinion. That doesn't mean I agree with the opinions. Some of them I find down right horrible, even sick. But I respect their right to their opinion. It's the only way I've found to cope with life, because most people have opinions that I find terrible i.e. eating meat. To most people it is perfectly acceptable to slaughter little lambs and calves for lamb chops and veal. This repulses me to the core. Some dear friends support abortion up to six months, which to me is absolutely horrendous. But what can I do? I just have to respect their right to that opinion. And if I can respect that right to an opinion, I can still respect the person.

It's just the way I cope. I don't like debate or arguing. I'd like to be friends with everyone. It's not always possible, but ideally I'd like to be friends with everyone, and respect that we have different view points.
