We're examing how people can have respect for one's feelings and still express their own thoughts without prejudice. That is the challenge presented by this topic.
I think that we've found our common ground now we have to get to it.

See, I think you understand, you just said exactly what I mean
"if you LET them hurt you, they will hurt you"
There ya go, I think that sums up exactly what I mean by "lighten up" and "toughen up" when you're called stuff.
(I guess what I'm saying, is if people would just look at things from a not so serious, not so "oh we must be PC about everything" point of view.
Would there even be a challenge to this thread?
