I just wonder at your not being willing to "hear more about it" as you say. Without having to change your mind, why not at least entertain differing views? A thought..

I try to hear "why" they have that opinion and not judge them. I hope I am open-minded. I can see where some things are not black and white. Things change. We will find out later how wrong we are on so many levels. WOW... Makes me think of the times I have thought I was 100% correct and I was so wrong... (not too often, though ;-)).

There is no matter of me being right or wrong or being so thin skinned that I cannot take the critique of my fellows when I wrote my comments. <br>Naturally it appals me to relate that aspect of crowd control to public scrutiny but it also appals me that some kids are under a curfew in some of the UK towns at night. Our citizens are terrified to go out their doors in our cities because of youth mob violence and intimidation. The system might be fundamentally flawed but it is an alternative where the police are over whelmed and nonexistent at those times. <br>So wake up America and smell the coffee; this is not a British invention but an USA one. I trust my dialogue was thought provoking as a few commentaries put out, and wrong I may be, but what is wrong or right in this immoral world? <br>As you know I no longer live in the UK and it is only when visiting it I see the sad and miserable way things have changed so I will continue to comment, on whatever subject you write, or the comments I get in return.

I may have my own opinions about things, but so do they. You tend to hear a lot of different views in friendships like that. You also learn to not judge a book by it's cover , rather find out what is waiting to be discovered within it's pages. Humans are complex creatures, we were never meant to entertain simple ideas, rather explore and always learn. At the end of our lives we will have not used half of the potential of our brains, that in itself says alot.
