Locking of threads

[Swanny]

People will always have different points of view and that's what makes the world interesting, it would be boring if we all thought the same. Just because people disagree doesn't mean that it's negative, they can both be positive and the disagreement can open new ways of thinking for all parties involved. Some times we need a good kick up the bum to open our minds to a new way of thinking. Think about your friends that refuse to believe the things you are trying to tell them, they are not going to open their eyes until something major happens.
TPTB have been forcing us to believe that they are right for so long, and punishing anyone that dared to stand against them.

If you stop people from taking different points of view then whoever says something first whether they are right or wrong it is the law and no one cant disagree, how can that be ok? No one would learn anything.
I know I don't know everything and am willing and happy to be proved that I am wrong, but I also know that if I read something I think is wrong then I will stand up and say so.

Everyone has the right to an opinion therefore they should be aloud to voice it, otherwise we are not free. People take offense because they choose to (sticks and stones....)
I apologize if I have upset people in standing up for what I believe and voicing what I know other people are thinking.
I have a very dry sense of English humour which I know is lost on people from different parts of the world, I take the mickey, I don't insult people.
I've been using forums for many years and I know that people speak more openly than they would in real life, egos run wild and people can take things entirely out of the context that was intended, the trick is to not let it bother you rather than get upset. I have had heated debates in the past and through doing so have learned a lot more about a subject than if someone had just rattled out how they saw things.
What's needed is a balance of both sides.
