Description
Edit: 9/04/2009 Thank you so much for 100 faves everyone! I'm glad there are so many of us that can still respect each other ^^ Keep it up!Man, I hate feeling down. Anyway...
Yes, this is a simple stamp, but bears a bold message, and I've decided I simply don't need a flashy GIF stamp with cute pictures, or funny jokes, or anything else distracting to get this message across. I just wanted to make this for myself and any others of like mind.
I have friends that have opinions contradictory to mine, and you don't see us bickering over it do you?
Life's too short and precious to spend griping over something just because it goes against your idea of perfection.
So someone has different political beliefs.
So what?
So someone hates your favorite band.
So what?
So, heaven forbid, someone likes a different pairing than you.
So what?
The world is not gonna end because of it, and fighting over it is just immature. Do you really think you'll change their minds by insulting them?
Yes, if someone insults Hanson badly enough, I'll get angry, I'm not saying I'm immune to that, but I'll present my defense, and if nothing changes, you know what? I drop it. Life goes on. Do you think the Hansons cared when someone offended them?
Nope! Infact that's where that quote Taylor made in my sig came from. He was asked what he thought of people who hated him, and look what he said.
"Everybody has their own opinion, that's part of life. It's fine, you know?"
Take a hint from that.
Just learn to let it go. Respect people even if they don't respect you back. You'll make more friends and be much happier that way.
Save your arguements for a debate team, and only if you can argue logically. I hear insults, swearing, and threats of violence aren't welcome in formal debates.
Let's try to be nice to everyone, okay?

As long as you aren't directing hate at them you're perfectly entitled to have your opinion as much as they have the right to theirs.Β Not agreeing with something doesn't mean you want to be hurtful or hateful towards people who do, or that you're wanting to force your way of thinking on them. I'm sorry that happened to you!
π: 0 β©: 1
of course. What i said wasnt directed at them but they certainly did take offence and they acted in such a manner..it got so many people upset.Β
they said things like "Oh if you dont respect my opinion, you obviously dont respect me as a person. I am very very disappointed in you Link, how dare you"
Β

Ah but they're confusing not agreeing with not respecting.Β Not agreeing means just that; you don't agree.Β Disrespecting it would be trashing them over it.Β They're the ones not respecting you.Β To respect someone's opinion you politely say I don't agree with that, but it's okay that you do. That's what it's about.

thats why i didnt make a rat, i just came out said "I dont agree with it"
I have had people who really hate my kind (im gay) and people are like "Your such a weirdo" Ive lost friends by being who i am but it doesnt stop me. Theyre the ones not respecting me
So When i made this statement, i wanted to be on equal footing but...someone dodnt get it. I had 3 friends who wre trans and two of thm got upset. im glad the one who i keep in contact with me just commented "okay" and walked away. That was 100% the responce i was expecting from everyone. I got more support than hate over it though ^^

Well I'm glad you didn't get an excess of hate!Β Sometimes when people don't respect you you just need to remember that you don't have to sink to their level.Β It was wrong how they treated you but you be above that and just let them walk away.Β In the end it's about us all being different but not hurting each other over it

ive eben mass-hated before 
Basically I made a journal exposing a person with over 4000 watchers, it was in defence of my friendΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
I've gotten attacked on message boards protecting a friend.Β Sometimes we just have to pick our battles.Β Nothing is ever wrong with defending a friend, but there's a point where people just can't be reasoned with, and after you've defended your friend or yourself you just need to step back and realize you'll never reason with them.

of course
This is going waay back, about 3 years ago i defended my friend who made a mistake infront of a DA Celebrity and i still defended him.Β

It's nice that you defended your friend. We all need a friend like that

Yee, turns out he's the worst person to exist

That's a shame honestly

Yeah, I still see him because recently he did something criminal. It's the second crime he'd done.

I see a lot of people on this site who can't handle not everyone's gonna worship them for their opinion and act egostical and entitled and go about calling others butthurt and crybaby because they proved their opinion was wrong and they were just spreading hate.. -_- I wish the admins would hire more people to deal with the site's drama as there are way too many rule breakers who are also cyber bullies who bully and even kill others for not worshiping their lowlife asses..Β
Swearing isn't all that bad compared to actual crimes like war, murder, genocide, destroying nature, destrying the enviroment, pollution, homophobia, racism, and other violent crimes in comparason though, just to point that out..
Politic beliefs are more serious though as evil people could gain power if people are too scsred to speak out because of savage hatebrats who only side someone because they rage quit, break laws, scam others, act racist or homophobic or both.Β
But other opinions like things like likes and dislikes are different but there are also ways to say different opinions and not be rude and hateful about it as well and be more polite.
Sorry for long comment but a short one would work to share my points of view, now would it?
π: 0 β©: 1
People are just becoming more and more immature and acting entitled nowadays, it's ridiculous. Not everyone is like that thankfully.
Oh believe me I swear like a sailor lol when I'm alone usually.Β I can handle being sworn at and won't over-react.Β I was referring mostly to people that just resort to doing nothing but swearing and insulting people during an argument without even trying to back up their points with facts.Β It's not the worst crime in the world it's just stupid when people resort to swearing every other word in an attempt to be hurtful because they don't want to back down from their opinion.
Oh absolutely.Β I never intended to say don't voice your opinions with politics.Β What I wouldn't do is attack someone just because their opinion is different.Β I've literally seen people on Facebook saying if any of their friends voted for a certain candidate to just delete themselves from their friend's list...I just find that a little extreme.Β We need to work together even if we don't agree for that very reason. This is about respecting different opinions not about never voicing your own 
It's alright! You can speak your mind all you like! And thank you for the comment and the fave!

I don't respect rude people who disrespectful to me. Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Well that's understandable...I mean, yes there's nothing wrong with defending yourself you should do that. What this is saying basically is you're not going to sink to their level and resort to using the same bullying tactics someone used against you.Β You're basically just being the bigger person and either ignoring them and walking away from it, or if you defend yourself you do it tactfully and not resorting to name calling and other things.Β That's what that means.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'd rather defend myself if they keep bullying me.
π: 0 β©: 1
And there's nothing wrong with that in fact I encourage it since I've been bullied a lot myself.Β When you defend yourself you just never allow yourself to sink to their level.Β That's what this is about.Β It's about you being the bigger person even when you're defending yourself.Β You don't have to troll back at them like they're doing basically you can defend yourself without acting the same way they do.

Uhm, excuse me, I am an idiot, and I was wondering if you, or anyone else, could tell me how to find the... THUMB THINGY... to put this in my ID?
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww no you're not an idiot lol It's on the right hand side of the page right above where it shows the pageviews and favorites and such. This is the code : thumb109583977 : Just take out the spaces between the first colon and the t and the last seven and the colon when your putting it where you'd like it =3

Agree! I used to think if I had flashy stuff for the stamps,I use it would get my message across but that's not true. Respect=Respect also 
But other than those things I respect people's opinions as long as,they're nice to me about it
π: 0 β©: 1
Well I can understand that. If someone attacks you it's important to try and turn the other cheek, and try not to argue, because arguing only makes things worse and gives them the reaction they want. However. It's also important to stand up for yourself and defend yourself if need be, so standing up like that isn't wrong, like you said when they keep doing it and won't leave you alone.
I think the most you can do is shout at them once, and then if they keep doing it you just need to block them and move on with your life.
The important thing is to respect the different opinions and don't create any arguments yourself. Defending yourself in a mature and calm manner is just fine
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah I try to be calm in what I say or type...but if they make fun of me,or other's for having poor grammar/spelling I will say something on their page or too them if I ever hear them say anything you know?
Yup that's what I do. Just shout at them once,and leave. But if they come back to me I'll just block them.
Very true
π: 0 β©: 1
I understand that, I would too. My friends are the time I'll really stand up because I can't stand people hurting my friends.
That's the way to do it ^^
And yeah it would. The thing about standing up is never to sink to their level. You can argue, but never sink to trashing people with curse words and insults. Argue like an intelligent human being and you're just fine, because there's nothing wrong with defending yourself. Just be sure to do it the right way
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yeah I never cuss at them or insult them like for Grammar Nazi's if they write things about how they hate it,when people get 'your' and 'you're' mixed up I'll say something like 'Hey some people like me,have learning disability's and I get confused with that stuff sometimes' or it was something like that. Oh no I hate trolls actually.
π: 0 β©: 1
Does anyone actually like trolls besides the trolls themselves? lol it sounds like you handle things just fine ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually like trolls? Hmmm...well this one person on DA is a troll I think,have you ever heard of ArianaVampireQueen? I guess some of her stuff,is pretty funny..but just plain stupid.
Yeah I try to keep myself calm,when dealing with people like that. Key word 'try to' XD
π: 0 β©: 1
lol yeah that was mostly a joke X3
Hey the important thing is to try. It's hard dealing with them sometimes. I had a troll all out attack me a couple of years ago, even going as far as to steal one of my pictures and recolor it. I almost lost my head then too but after I yelled enough I just reported and blocked her. She made a new account weeks later and left a comment on my page that she planned to cause trouble again. After checking to make sure she hadn't stolen anything from me I just blocked her without replying and I never heard from her again.
Sometimes not feeding their fire is the best way to stop them, despite how hard it is. As long as you try that's what important
π: 0 β©: 1
Whoa the troll actually TOOK one of your drawing's and recolored it? That's a low blow,sorry about that. Ugh the thing about trolls is,if they're banned they just come back again -_- Yup just block her. That's what I do,like I had problems with a girl on Fanfiction.Net,she has an account here...but she doesn't use it much so I guess I unblocked her after,finding out she didn't use it very much. I think she's still upset with me,for saying 'I like the dub anime better,then the subbed anime' though...ah well moving on.
It's hard but yeah...when you fight fire with fire,you just create a bigger fire right?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah she did. She was a fanbrat of a certain pairing and she thought one of my characters looked like the female in that pairing (which nobody else sees in the least) and she thought I was "insulting" her favorite pair because of it...not to mention I also liked a pairing that went against hers but...this had nothing to do with it. She was just....half of what she said was utter nonsense. But she colored over the male in the picture and was taunting me with it.
She had come back on a new account but I blocked and ignored her and she finally left me alone.
Yeah that's true. Sometimes you gotta stand up and defend yourself, just try fighting with water instead of fire =3 That means you gotta be tactical and smart with your arguments 
π: 0 β©: 1
Man I hate people like that,I mean it's like I'm a fan of the NaruHina pairing and other people seem to think all NaruHina fans will insult them for liking NaruHina instead,of NaruSaku which I think it the other way around sometimes. I've met nice NaruSaku fans though don't get me wrong
That's good she left you alone
Yup fight fire with water ^^ And a bunch of other people agreed to with me,that the person who insulted me (ironically she turned around and said to other people I insulted her and 'harassed' her...when I just said 'I like dubbed animes,more than subbed')...anywho your right
π: 0 β©: 1
I understand that; I'm friends with tons of people who support pairings opposite of mine and we get along just fine. Sometimes there are just brats who like to cause trouble.
And it is. I was glad it didn't turn into a big fight again XD
Trolls are like that. You just gotta be smarter than they are
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah amen to that.
Yup,you just have to be smarter and out smart the trolls
