just because people think a certain way that doesn't agree with what you think doesn't make you right. why is what you believe ultimately the TRUTH and correct, you could be ****ing it up worse than them. realize that its about a balance and understanding. you cant just write people off like that.
also understand that certain people were born and raised to certain feelings about things like religion and homosexuality. realize they are misunderstanding and try and help them understand your point of view.... don't tell them they are ****ing idiots and that you know whats right, you wont ever get anywhere and you are being just as wrong and idiotic as them.

Just as a logical exercise (meaning, I'm not actually comparing the two), am I supposed to try and "understand" and "accept" Nazism or Fascism so as not to appear narrow minded? Certain ideologies are simply wrong (as you appear to understand in the latter part of your post). Denying certain groups of people basic human rights is wrong, letting religion interfere with politics is wrong, invading other countries is wrong, and so on and so forth.
If it makes you feel any better, I think Croatia is probably much worse than Texas in that respect. Except we don't invade other countries...
