Ever try even voicing out different political viewpoints in front of your parents/immediate family?

It sure wasn't pretty for me, lol. Also why I'm spending the night on the couch. Again, might I mention.

I don't know why I keep doing it, even though I know I get hollered at every time I do it. I guess I'm just very passionate about the stupidities of humankind, especially regarding politics. I'm very firm on my belief that violence often has both sides with wrong, and no one should be blamed, or is ever deserving of death, even if they act irrationally. Crazily, perhaps, even. I especially believe--and this is the belief I stressed so much today that caused this--that the government can (notice how I didn't say is!) be at fault, even if there's no definite proof. Because humans are humans, and there's no telling how they think or act. There's no true right or wrong when there's conflict and violence.

I mean, blaming me for "having an opinion" when "I can't do anything" doesn't seem like a plausible reason. I don't even want to pretend to be sorry, because I'm not. Sorry for what? That I have my own opinions? That I have my own stance(s) on the faults of violence? That I want to make a change when I figure out how to? No thank you.

I'm not sorry, because I'm not just Chinese or American. I'm a human who's in between both heritages, and doesn't belong to either world, Chinese or American. I reserve the rights to love and dislike aspects of both worlds, not be afraid of their strengths and weaknesses.

I want to be someone who makes a difference as a citizen of a world, not one who's afraid to state his opinion against violence, just because it exists. -Galaxian-
