Discourteous Discourse
I've been around a lot of people in the past few years that have made it socially acceptable and easy to make hardcore criticisms of government/politics/religion etc, so I've gotten used to being able to say pretty reactionary stuff around my friends. BAD HABIT!
If you're around someone who says things that you find offensive or reactionary or downright obnoxious about their political beliefs, please call them on it so that they don't continue to contribute to uncomfortable situations that they are wholly unaware of! Please don't wait for weeks and then freak out over it; that kind of shit isn't worth tainting friendships over. That being said, I'm planning on being a lot more courteous around people with my political/irregligious baloney. I wish I had been more considerate all along. To think, I've been an unintentional jackass all this time and just fucking oblivious of peoples feelings. How fucking myopic can you get? I have never felt like this much of a hypocrite. And I'm even worse about it online. UGH.
