I don't know... it sure Feels like one's "Feelings" are being INVALIDATED!

I know. "Feelings are not facts" but there are some subjects that bring out some of the strongest feelings... like Rage, maybe, that you can't "critical think" it away.

An honest question: Where is compassion and understanding on the part of the person giving alternative views? And in giving these alternative views, is there a time to stop before they wind up having to defend their position... especially when they claim to believe the same way the majority believes??
