this sounds like the plot of a seinfeld episode... where the whiney brunette stated that she wouldnt ever date a person who wasn't pro choice - until she came across a guy she was really attracted to who was pro life... hilarity then ensued... or it tried to anyhow...
you have to pick your battles in any relationship and decide what's important to you... just recently, a person who's opinion i respect, pointed out to me that the reason why I haven't seen much activity on a personal ad I placed is because I placed my politics at pretty conservative... that is a deal breaker for a lot of people.
One my my boyfriend horror stories was a jewish guy I dated, who's family decided that I wasn't marriage material because of my own unwillingness to convert. The religion factor was a deal breaker...
I think it's a little hypocritical of a person to say, that a person isn't relationship worthy because of whatever conviction that they hold, but tehy are good enough to fuck...
I've spent too much time around racists and bigots, i'm not sure i could stomach being in a relationship with one... I'd have to say something... you can't change how a person thinks, if their thought process is based on life experience (I couldn't ever date someone who owned a Rottweiller... My head knows that some are very gentle l oving dogs, doesn't change the fact tha I had one jump a 6 foot fence and be the cause for a bunch of stitches in my arm - I'm terrified of them... ) People's life experience shapes who they are and how they think... Doesn't m ean I have to agree with them nor does it mean i have to spend time with them..
