Hey, how are things? I like your video, I am actually thinking about playing this one in my class because I am thinking maybe having an american talking about the issue could come up better than me " a non resident alien" speaking about it...plus I love the fact that you always use your personal experiences....thanks for doing this...it is good work!!!

Hello. Glad you're taking these issues into the classroom. No matter what your opinion, folks need spaces to think critically and learn how to listen to disagreement! It's a skill that your students will carry everywhere. Please do share this video, and please share how it all goes.

Also,how did sexual orientation come into the discussion.. that was never mentioned was it? Are you projecting?

@YogiToad

Sexual orientation? People who hate rarely distinguish the 'other'.

Im the kind of person that can talk about anything.When I say that,it's because I do not consider any subject off limits,and this can put people off.I find myself making the greater effort and people generally misunderstand my intentions when I speak on things as their minds are loaded with pre conceived idealisms. It is hard to find truly objective,rational people to speak with. but, I don't come here looking for logic,however I come here because you are an inwardly rich and beautiful person.

A put off? Hmm, well, I certainly do appreciate your comments and willingness to engage in dialogue. I also hope that you consider these issues in your daily interactions, and not just in cyberspace. How we choose to respect, or disrespect other people, particularly those who are different from us is ultimately more important than where we start in so far as communicating ideas about one another.

Do you find that people are generally insincere with you?

[YogiToad]

Is this a put off?

Thanks lil sis...well appreciated. Keep bouncing.

[diepiriye]

Thanks for the encouragement. Keep enjoying, commenting, and talking with others in your daily life.

People tend to project. Hopefully here I've done a pretty good job at making clear that I am sharing my own experience. As for sexuality, please don't get me started. My partner could not join me in America if I needed to go for an extended time, or decided to move home, so yes, I want to know what the fundamentalists say about separating my family, too. Of course, we am educated and have more employment opps than many folks in the whole world, so I do not compare my situation directly.
