[QUOTE="thecamel, post: 4674256, member: 33455"] At the risk of being highly controversial it is important to remember that this country, the USA, was founded in 1776. By gathering 13 separate colonies with perhaps many different ideals but most importantly some very key principles. Since this early formation the union has expanded albeit with some tremendous challenge over the past 244 years into a 50 state nation that while continuing to maintain it's ideals must hold onto the key principles that have bound us. Those principles are still within us all. And the leadership that we choose will hopefully guide us to take a little more time to consider our behaviors and priorities as more than just a reaction to something that's posted on social media. Posts on whichever platform that you find them are the opinion of only that poster, and that's fine. No one should continuously look for ways to delegitimize the thoughts of others. Have yourself an original idea. Support the idea of others. Or disagree, it's ok. We just need to stop trying to cut the guts out of those we disagree with in order to prove our own point. [/QUOTE]
