It's helped me in understanding other people more then I used to be able to. I've also heard many differing opinions of situations and events, some of them thought out and rationalized, some not so much. This has helped me to not make a snap judgement so quickly based on one action. It has also taught me to make sure as bad as the other people may be to stay civil because that helps a conversation more then a stupid comment to try to incite a bad reaction. In some respects, it has also shown that there may just be a hope for some of us
I've also seen angles on things that'd I'd never thought thanks to others in the community and seen things from others perspect that I may have thought before but brought about in such a different manner which has been an interesting expirence.
