Must be very simple to only think in extremes, everything in between is not an option for simpletons like you.

Insane isn't it. I far from agree with everything you write (and far from disagree with everything either), but at least you can understand there are nuances, facets, opposing views, different ideas on how to accomplish things without 'death to all blacks' or 'homos should be shot at birth' or whatever shit some people here seem to think any opposing viewpoint/idea means.
I used to think that seeing all angles/sides to problems/conflicts/discussions was a 'bad' quality of mine, but as I grow older I'm seeing the 'bad' part is blindly sticking to a black & white view, refusing to acknowledge the other persons' grievances, and spitting out hatred and names rather than just fucking accept that just like we should 'all co-exist because we are all different', we all have differing experiences and thoughts, without being automatically extreme-right or extreme-left.
Some days it boggles my mind that so many people just can't put themselves in another person's shoes (including those of eg immigrants who want a better life... fuck, who wouldn't? If I was them I'd be trying like mad to make sure me and my family got somewhere better), other days I remember that we ARE all different, and probably practice more tolerance than the self-proclaimed 'tolerant' do by not doing a thommy and ranting about how anyone who thinks differently to him should die
