We Have the Right

This could be applied to so much. The first thing that popped into my head was the abortion debate, just because that's basically what every pro-choicer says at some point or another while debating. I hate debating things like that, especially in school. Generally, when it comes to just day-to-day life, I like to think I'm pretty respectful of other people's opinions, especially when they differ from my own. But when it comes to things like the abortion debate or gay-marriage....I just really have a hard time respecting the opposite opinion.

If you couldn't tell from my tone, I am pro-choice and support gay marriage. For the abortion debate especially, I just really reallyyyy can't understand the other side, the "pro-life" side. There are just so many things I don't understand and I can't even argue against because I would just be rude. And then on the gay marriage debate, I just want to ask how on earth the marriage of two other people affect you in the least.

But, I also think that having debates over topic like this, is a little bit pointless. I know in school it's important to be able to learn how to debate, and how to form an argument, and support your opinions and all of that.....but no matter what I say I am never going to a)come up with some brilliant point that hasn't been already a bajillion times and b) change anyone's mind who thinks differently. This is just something that people are stuck on and nothing is changing anyone's opinions on it.
