when does it go to far?


As Ms. James was reading us the other classes blog i couldnt help but wonder why? why take the time to make everybody upset. i mean dont get me wrong i believe sharing your opinion is a great thing because that is what i am doing right now but there is a point where it just goes to far. you know you have gone to far when you have offended somebody. i think that since we are comming into the end of the year we are slipping and forgetting the rules of the beggining of the quarter. even though i think the blogs are getting better and better every week i think we should be careful with eachothers feelings. using sayings such as "let's fight about it"might not be the best choice of words because there are other things one can say to draw the same conclution. the blog was very well written it was just contraversal which is hard to deal with because everyone has something they would want to say about it. like one of my classmates said sometimes we just get caught up in the mement and end up saying things we will regret later. i hope this experience doesnt lead to people stopping sharing their thoughts because in the end that is what the blog is for right?

Oh I agree. I think it is actually really immature to start arguements. Everyone who has an opinion about something things that they are right and that everyone else is wrong, so why try to change their opinions.

There is nothing wrong with sparking a "debate" of sorts, as long as people can remain civil. Perhaps those who have more graphic/hot-headed things to say could write it down on paper, then shred/burn that piece of paper. They could then indulge in ludicrous ranting to their heart's content, but spare everyone else. Oh well. It's only a thought. Actually, when you step back and look at the whole situation, it's really quite amusing.

I think it is really difficult for me and maybe many others when it comes to subjects like this. Everyone was saying we all have very strong concrete opinions on every subject, but this is not true in every case. I know on the subject of abortion I do not have a solid opinion. I have a hard time discussing this topic because I don't have a solid opinion and I am not going to form one on my own if I have a ton of people arguing and trying to pursuade me that their point of view is the right way.
