Chiksic said:"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle
What makes this country as great as it is is the fact that there are two sides to every story and we have the right to look into both. If you close your eyes and minds to either side you're advocating ignorance and ignorance leads to the lack of freedom. Those who don't deserve freedom will lose it.
I'm not choosing a side, here, but I do find it scary when people get upset and threatened about this even being brought up. Though it can be difficult, remove your biases, study both sides freely, then decide. Don't automatically shut an idea out just because it doesn't fit with your current views/perspectives/or beliefs.
very well said, I agree
