Different point of view
I keep wondering, why do people tend to delete you from their "Circle of friends" only because you have different thoughts? We are in the 21st century and there are still people who judge you for your religion, your nationality, your political choice...
We are different people, we have the right to think differently! You don't need to have the same opinion that I have, as long as you respect me! And, I assure you that I will respect you. I'm not saying that I will stop defending those things that I believe, that I'll put my values and beliefs aside, no! I'm just gonna be mature enough to be respectfull no matter what.
No, I don't care if you are a Muslim, but I'm Catholic. I don't care if you are homossexual, but I'm straight. I don't care if you like marijuana, I just don't.
Stop judging people! Stop judging the whole group for a mistake that one person made.There are good Muslims and bad Muslims. There are good Christians and bad Christians. There are good politicians and bad politicians. There are good brazilians and bad brazilians.
I'm brazilian but I'm not a b****, I'm brazilian but I hate Carnival, I'm brazilian but I'm not into soccer.
We can have many different cultures and habits within a unique family, so stop judging americans/brazilians/mexicans (...) only for those things you've only heard about.
You don't have to speak the language I do, you don't have to like the same things I do, you don't have to have the same opinion about certain topics. No. But we can be friends anyway. We can respect each other anyway.
The world would be different if we all had empathy, if we could understand that for me is 6, but for you may be 9!

very well written! Careful about natiolities and countries and languages Which Should All Be Capitalised.

Remember that b**** is not the same as someone who sleeps around. A derogatory word for someone who sleeps around would be a slut, tramp or whore (these are all really strong words).

Thank you all for the reply.
Paddington, I don't get exactly what you meant but I think I get your point.
Well, politically speaking, we're going through a tough moment here in Brazil. For those who know, our ex president was removed and there are a lot of things going on. The government is corrupt, they stole all our money, the taxes are huge, the number of unemployed people is uncountable... Health and education system sucks! We are dying slowly. The law is faulty and the government + the human rights protect bad people while good and hard working people perish.
Manage a country is not an easy task because people have different interests, of course. It will never exist a government that pleases every single person, but it should have a way so everybody can live in a good condition.
Anyway, what I meant in my text was socially because I see it happening daily at work, at school, at the church or everywhere! People, instead of gathering and fighting for the common well being are always in conflicts, against each other! feminists against conservatives, religious against atheists, black people against white people..... And that's ridiculous!
I do not have to mistreat you only because you have different thoughts! We can keep fighting for what we believe but we don't necessarily have to attack each other, you know what I mean... I have lost many friends, narrow minded people! Only because I want to live my life the way I think I should live!
I am not leftist and I am not going to support a government that made my life like hell! There are lots of people who don't suffer with this crisis, but I do! My family does! However, I am not going to mistreat my friends and teachers who are "petistas" (that's how we call people who support PT or any other corrupt group that manage our country)

I can only speak from the political turmoil that's roiling my country right now (I'm American). It's very difficult to bridge the gap when you don't share a common frame of reference with the person you're trying to debate with - you can only really debate with someone if both parties (as in, both people, but this also applies to our very flawed two-party system) agree to sit down and tease out beliefs and assertions around a common basis for what is and what is not. It's not quite correct to call the other person a liar if he/she honestly believes whatever he/she's asserting (although many times politicians are bought and paid for and/or have dealings they won't admit to, so they are bald-faced liars, but que será, será), but especially with fake news and really wavering trust in institutions and good, thorough journalism...you just end up in a shouting match as both sides can't even agree on events having happened or not, never mind admitting to and debating the merits of whatever ideology each person ascribes to.

If all the world was as open-minded as you, the world would be a much less conflicted place. :)
