Why do people associate disagreement with offense?
It is OK to disagree. If someone has a different point of view or different opinion about something, why do most people get offended and treat the person they disagree with like their enemy?
I disagree with people all the time. In fact, some of the people that I have the best relationships with, including my immediate family, are also the people I have strong disagreements with. However, these disagreements do not affect the way we feel about each other.

Please don't view disagreement as a negative thing. The ability to think for ourselves and form our own opinions is what makes us unique. Uniqueness should be praised.
Do you avoid disagreeable conversations? Do you like a healthy, informed, debate, or do you try to avoid conversational confrontation?
