Opinions

Opinions can be some of the most annoying things to have to listen to. That's why, in an attempt to avoid being as irritating as I sometimes find others, I've created a list of rules for sharing my thoughts with people.

1. Remember to not have an opinion of something unless you really know anything about it, especially if it seems like something you won't like. It's better to hate something for what it is than what you think it is.

2. Remember that no one cares. This includes your friends most the time. So unless requested, don't just share.

3. Occasionally you will find yourself in a discussion with someone who has a different opinion than you. Keep these instances civil. Getting angry over the fact that someone doesn't share your feelings make you look stupid. However, a well thought out discussion can make you look good. It's not like the things you talk about warrant a strong reaction anyway. Greedo did shoot first tho.

4. It's ok to have an opinion based on minimal information. It's not ok to be passionate about this opinion. This is especially true for puppies, because you don't really need anything more than there just so darn cute.

5. Throw everything out the window if the person your interacting with is not from America. You are inherently better than them based on the Constitution. Especially true if their from France.
