Good, bad, or indifferent
Who's to say I'm right, you're wrong
Who gets to decide
Some have very strong feelings
About theirs
I do not lie
And try to force it upon me and you
When there's nothing further from our minds
I have my own opinions
About things I dwell upon
You could have a completely different view
For that's what makes us who we are
How boring to be the same
Think, do and say
I won't force my issues down your throat
I expect the same courtesy
We can chat, discuss, agree to disagree
But what's the point in attack?
Doesn't really get you anywhere
And I won't change my views, you won't change yours
So lets have a bit of peace now
Lets all respect each others opinions
That's what makes us unique
I don't want to be you
You don't want to be me
Don't blame you really! [comments] => 4 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 43 [informant] => AliB [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

How true, too true...we live in diverse situations with more diverse views. Respect of each other is perhaps the wisdom herein. I am reminded of a game I played once with friends in a training...called 'my point of view and your point of view'. Basically a game of trying to accept the others opinion without beating them into a pulp...he he he...nice and honest work here. But I guess these are just my opinions....

best way i found is to agree with 'em (but don't promise anything) then ignore everything they've said works for me every time! good write by the way.
