Indeed. But I have heard of a philosophy of "Good fences make for good neighbours."

And that is to say that there should exist a fundamental concept of boundaries and rights. I have my home, my zone, my life. I should be allowed to live it a certain way... my way... When people believe that they can trespass into that, I should be able to say NO.

So... I should have "fences" and if I respect your fences and you respect mine, then we can believe in completely different things and still get along.

It gets easier when the values are very different, so the space between is wider.

Catholics and Protestants of a certain culture and upbringing may learn to set their weapons down and learn to debate and live and let live. But some would destroy both. Should this be tolerated?

I am usually on both sides of a debate. For example, I am both an LGBTQ ally and an LGBTQ homophobe, depending on who you speak to and what we are speaking about. I just neither accept nor reject the whole thing, wholesale or follow one directive. I need to weigh up and use my brain for each interaction or situation.

Another example is the abortion debate. I disagree and agree with certain things from both sides of that argument.

So yeah... I would agree and disagree with certain things that Charlie Kirk has to say. Some things I agree on, Leftists would lable me as a Right-wing conservative. But other things I believe in, then Charlie would have rejected me based on his own beliefs and ideologies.

Bottom line... as long as our fences were well established, we continue to debate without fear... because there is respect.

This assassination has no respect, it has no honour. Those who celebrate it have no honour and have no SELF-respect. They are celebrating the death of a person willing to talk with anyone... would they rather have mobs of people killing their kind in the street?

Anyway... sorry for the ramble... I am sure this had all bee said a million times already and none of it is particularly new.
