I do not automatically think there is anything wrong with someone if I disagree with them, however I have to draw the line somewhere. If someone was to for instance express to me the opinion that the best way to get rid of poverty is to eradicate the poor...then I think I'd have reason to wonder what the hell is wrong with them. I think its fine to respect others opinions, so long as their opinion isn't very toxic/harmful/abusive/harrasing towards others, but I reserve the right not to respect opinions that are any of those things. Even then though sometimes it seems more ignorance so I might bother trying to explain why I take an issue with their opinion...but there is no getting through to some people.

But yeah I try and keep an open mind, and I don't expect people to always be perfect and never, ever slip up and say something that could offend people...or maybe blurt something out of anger or without thinking it through....I know there are times I've done that.
