Someone's Political Views Can Tell You A Lot About Them

And not in the way you think.

Someone's Political Views Can Tell You A Lot About Them

Let me begin with this: I'm not attacking your political views, or anyone's political views. Politics seem to bring out the worst in people, and tons of people will think you're picking on them and their views.

I'm not around for it.

It doesn't matter if someone supports Trump or Hillary, or maybe they're still waiting for Bernie to make a comeback. Regardless, it really doesn't matter who they're supporting. But, their political views could tell you a ton about them. And no, I don't mean whether or not they support the LGBTQ community or abortions.

It's all in the way they present their views.

There's a fine line between someone saying, "I'm a Trump supporter and here are my reasons why," and a person saying, "You're a disgusting human being for following Trump." We should all support each other and respect each other's views.

Think about some of the political posts you've come across on Facebook, and other social media. Some of it is full of people battling each other. Is it really necessary?

To me, the answer is no. It's not necessary to bully someone for their political beliefs. It's not necessary to key a car because it has a sticker on it that supports a specific candidate. These are the types of things that show someone's true colors.

So yes, someone's political views can say a whole lot about them.

Do they really care about our country and our future, or are they just about judging people based on their beliefs? Politics bring out an ugly side in most people, but we have to realize that children and young adults are still looking up to you and your actions.

Would they approve of the way you present your political beliefs?

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
