I Have My Own Opinions!

I am conservative, I am outspoken, I have my own opinions. This does NOT make me a target for ridicule. It makes me human.

I have feelings, feelings about adoption; my own and my daughter's. What I feel, what I believe is not wrong and is also not fodder for ridicule. There is love, and as long as there is so much love who is to say I am wrong?

We have our own experiences, we have our own feelings....I cannot say anyone is wrong about how they feel - because they feel it. Why am I not entitled to the same if my opinion differs from yours?

Some of your comments are very hurtful and I think people responded to that.

I still like you and have you on my links list, I don't always like what you say though but I like you.

Everyone's opinion deserves respect, Petunia, but I think the internet and the anonymity that comes with it makes it possible for people to disagree more loudly than they would face-to-face.

I appreciate that you speak your mind, because it's the different perspectives that keep us thinking. Thank you.

Petunia...we may not agree on many things and thats okay because I think there is strength in diversity of opinion. I agree with both Kim.kim and third mom. Sharing one's feelings/opinions is healthy. You have a right to them and they have a right to yours. No one has the right to force their will/opinion on another. We can agree to disagree though :) and still walk together as friends. I truly think your best friends are those you can disagree with and still be friends when the day is done.
