Hello my partners, being a member of myEC has been a great experience for me, not only because I´ve improved my level English, but I´ve met wonderful people and made some friends... I´m very lucky to have friends in this social network.
But there is a thing I still can´t understand: why, here in My English Club, are some people afraid to express their opinions??
Sometimes it seems like they think: "I don´t like to talk about politics (or another "hot" topic) because I don´t want to lose a friend", or "what will people think about me", or "I´m here to make friends", "we must respect other's beliefs"...
Honestly, I think this way of thinking is very ridiculous. Trust me, it´s impossible for everybody to like me, it´s a waste of time and it doesn´t work. In my case, I just express my opinions, I don´t try to impose my beliefs, I know sometimes I´m not "polite", but that´s all.
If somebody wants to talk to me and share a conversation, Great... if somebody thinks I´m part of the "moral decay of our society", Great, it´s his problem, not mine.
I´d like to know your opinion: are you looking for approval many times? Why do you think some people need approval??
Have a nice day.
PD: frienship doesn´t mean that you always agree with me, and not to be friends doesn´t mean you are my enemy.

Muchas gracias Gerardo Munoz! I always respect other's beliefs or thoughts. I live in Saudi Arabia, we have different nationalities from all over the world with different religions, thoughts, and ideologies. We express ourselves with no barriers at all. I am proud to be one of your friends. By the way, your son looks like my son. Thanks for sharing.
Really, name one church in Saudi Arabia where I can attend a christian congregation?
Friends, have you realized there are many people willing to hurt or to kill another people, just because the last one "hurt their ideas or principles"?? Very sad.
Hi Jeffrey, thanks for your reply, wise words.
Hello Lynne, thans for your reply. Have a nice day.
Hello my dear Setareh, trust me I´ll never get bored with your comments. Reading your example, I realized you did it, you expressed your opinion, that´s all. In this case you don´t approve gay marriage and it´s ok.
Just two things more:
1. Remember what April said "discussions is not about who win", I´d like to share wiht you this words: "Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress." Mahatma Ghandi
2. Sometimes we must be willing to change our ideas, it´s a wise man who can admit he was wrong.
Thanks for your reply, have a wonderful day
My dear Setareh, good to see you again, I really hope you and your family are fine.
I agree with you we´re not here to insult others, it´s clear to me. But the second part, I don´t agree, come on Setareh you know there are many "bad ideas" and I don´t understand why I can´t criticize it.
Hello April, good to see you again,,, you hit the nail on the head, your definition about discussions "it´s not our purpose to be winners or not", it´s wonderful. We all have a lot to learn about discussion definition.
And yes, you´re right, sometimes commenting in some blogs it´s a waste of time.
Have a nice day my friend, and thanks for sharing your brilliant ideas.
Hi Ali68 for your words and your time. Have a nice day.
Hello Abiba, thanks four your reply, we are not equal, that´s right, but I don´t understand when you said "not to hurt anybody principles". Do you really think "somebody ideas" can be hurt??
