Don't Insult Someone You Don't Agree With

I'm willing to listen if you are willing to stay respectful.

So it seems like every day myself or someone I know is called a Nazi, sexist, racist, bigot, or any hateful name in the book and it's honestly one of my biggest problems with not just a majority of liberals or so called "social justice warriors", but even conservatives and libertarians do it as well. If I say my opinion about something and you don't agree with me I'm willing to be civil and hear you out but the moment you call me any of the following things above than we are going to have a problem. You can believe and follow what you want and that's perfectly fine but you don't have the right to insult other people. Most of the time it seems like they only insult you because they don't have any other argument, so I guess putting other people down is like a new trend. Fun little story actually, is that my boyfriend who is white and jewish was called a nazi. Okay, so I guess he's a nazi who is dating an african-american girl and he is also jewish so I'm not entirely sure how that works but whatever--you do you.

If you want to argue with me about my opinion then that's fine. I would love to sit down and talk it over, but as soon as you insult me I will respectfully end the conversation and sincerely hope that you learn how to debate with someone in the proper, mature manner.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
