It feels like everybody is so all-or-nothing these days. It really seems as though I'm avoiding talking about different things with people I've known a long time because I know we'll disagree, and they'll probably stop talking to me. I feel perfectly okay not agreeing on every little point, and I don't see every differing opinion as a character flaw.
What has y'all's experience been like with different opinions among friends?
Do y'all still rock with people who have different beliefs?
im a christian and went to a shabbat last weekend, one of my closest friends is muslim. i went to my friends wedding recently whose family is muslim but he’s atheist. i have hindu and buddhist friends. i have some friends who have the same beliefs, interests, etc and friends who are very different than me in a lot of ways as long as someone’s way of life doesn’t harm anyone or take away from mine why would i care
Yeah I don't mind, as long as their stance isn't rooted in racism. I knew a nigga who genuinely believed that the Earth was flat, fun debates about that. Another friend used to ride heavy for Bernie but got Trump-pilled like crazy. Still a cool guy even though he's cuckoo. That type of s*** like religion and politics isn't even what time I'm on so that's usually like 5% of the conversation lol
to an extent.
the ppl im friends w aren't federal abt sht and dont take things too seriously. I don't think i could be friends w someone who doesn't joke abt their opinions (obviously not counting stuff like religion).
but beyond that yea all my friends have different worldviews
Of course. I’m a serial viber idc what other people believe as long as the vibe is fine between us
I’m friends with republicans, dems, people of all religious beliefs, bigots, racists, d*** dealers, thieves, felons
Dead af at people in here saying they aren’t friends with racists. I’m willing to bet they definitely are. Maybe they just don’t know it

My mother does not f*** with several different kinds of people, and she's a bit transphobic. I'm not willing to cut her off.

What if your Black friends don't rock with Mexicans and vice versa?
I'm not friends with bigots
None of your friends have a group of people that they don't like or hold beliefs about? I don't believe it.
Yes
But only to am extent - there is a line
I wont be friends with any major radicals of anything tho

I couldn't get down with this because I had several family members who were Black Nationalists, and they were pretty radical. I didn't agree with everything, but I f***ed with the passion and dedication. I think I could be cool with people like that today.
We never talk about it @op
