Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!
I'm sure we've all heard that expression
- What does it mean? According to Wikipedia, "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater is an idomaticexpression for an avoidable error in which something good is eliminated when trying to get rid of something bad, or in other words, rejecting the favorable along with the unfavorable".
- I had a professor in college who used an expression: "Different, but not wrong", to describe the diversity of our class.
- Those of us who have been with WA know the rules of blogging/posting:
- Please don't spam or promote anything here at WA.
- Keep religion and politics out of your posts.
- Keep the conversation on topic
- Don't copy and paste content from elsewhere.
- Be nice, play nice
These rules are found at the bottom of the Blog template.
I know you've heard them from me before, but for the benefit of our new members, I feel I need to repeat them so we don't keep making the same mistake. 
Different religions. Different ethnic groups..
- Every country has different laws.
- All religions have different beliefs.
- Different races have different customs.
- We are different! That doesn't make us wrong!
We are encouraged to blog here at WA.
Often our new members are either eager to get started and jump in without reading the rules (I did!), or they are afraid to blog because they are afraid to make a mistake.
We want to hear from you - tell us about your success, your dreams, what you want to accomplish.
We see all kind of blogs here. Different opinions and different ideas. Different, but not necessarily wrong.
So, let's use our diversities to teach and share. We all have something to offer so go for it.

To respect is to listen to the opinion of others without criticizing it. One can agree or not without criticism please. As you say we are unique beings so are our thoughts. We enjoy freedom of expression, let's not spoil it.
Thank you!!
