Topic	Differing opinions should never prevent friendships.

But there are some people whose values are so repulsive that I could not in good conscious maintain a relationship with them. I really dont care at all that others may feel the same way about me. If someone doesnt like me then, by all means, I hope they keep me out of their life. Is your being friends with them going to cause harm? If not, then why should thay stop it? Being friends doesn't mean supporting anything. It might not make their opinions closer to your own, but even if it doesn't then it's still a net positive for a healthy friendship. Isolating the other side is never healthy. <cite>OctilIery posted [p:932058129] in Differing ... [t:78282302]...</cite> <quote>AlisLandale posted...</cite> <quote>I cant get on board with this.
