Importance, Community, Respect:

What is important to me is: "What you DO believe". 

What DO you stand for?  

I am not just irritated or saddened by snarky dumb political memes, I am confused.

The ones that I agree with, of course, I find funny. I try to not share those on Public Forums, especially ones where I have invited my diverse friends to observe my thoughts and feelings.  

Your beliefs, values and ideas themselves really do not offend me.....these are the things that are actually meaningful to you.  Have you ever really considered what is meaningful to you?  Let's hear about those things.  I could really care less if you think Bush/Romney/Reagan/Obama "sucks".  Tell me - what makes you happy? What's ideal?  What WOULD you like to see?

 Life is full of different interpretations and meanings to each of us. Yet, insulting 50% of your friends and family with ridiculous, or rude and disgusting posts doesn't change or alter my beliefs, or theirs. Negative and off the mark insults and jokes through 3rd party cartoons might make me understand what you Don't like and it will probably put me in the defensive of sharing myself with you fully.  It also makes me think you are a small minded person. 

We don't  have to agree on everything in life, but I did think we were friends. I thought we were family. Tell me what you love and like and believe. 

Don't let me know with insulting racist posts that you think i am a "political 'tard, idiot, socialist, dummy". Meaningless to me, and also  hurtful. I don't see much rational posting or discussion by my opposing thought counterparts. That is a loss. To you, to me, and to "friendship" and community!
