Which one of you cowards is Ferd Sheed?

Bold move, blocking me from being able to comment on your "hilarious" racist, homophobic FB posts. Here's a pro-tip for being human: if I wasn't interested in hearing dissenting opinions, if I wanted to shelter myself in a false world where everybody always agreed with me, I'd block people like you from my feed. But that's not what I believe --I believe we can learn by interacting with those we disagree with. Key word being INTERACT. Actually acknowledging that these people exist and being willing to engage in a dialogue with them. If you can't tolerate that other opinions exist, or like Ferd Sheed, the cowardly lion, simply refuse to be exposed to them, then you suck as a human being.

Please turn off your computer and never return to the internet.
