Religion and Politics

I think there are many reason why you don't speak about politics with your family.

Its either
You were brainwashed growing up, and have basically have the mine set to what ever was spoken in your house and are completely stubborn and don't think for yourself

or

You are open minded, and most of the time, the youth tends to rebel towards what your elders have to say, so if its your family, its obviously going to be controversial.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but some people dont seem to understand that opinions are that alone, just opinions, thoughts, words, NOT facts. Some people are offended by opinions, which causes arguments. Everyone should think for themselves rather than just believing what your parents, friends, spouse believes. That the best thing one has, their own train of thought, your own voice, own opinion. Its a sad thing to waste.

I personally think opinions are formed by personal experiences. until something happens to you, you really can't say what you would do. for example, if my girlfriend were to get pregnant, more than likely i would recommend she have an abortion, just because hey, im 18, i can barely keep my room clean, do you honestly think im ready to be a father? NO. sure its not morally right to play god.

Speaking of abortion, if a girl gets pregnant, i think the mans opinion counts to the slightest extent, because dude you fucked up, BUT its her body not yours. I believe the girl should have the most power in making a decision in either keeping or loosing a baby.

To conclude,
my opinion on opinions?
