You know what the problem is? You're upset because I'm calling you out and telling you that you are wrong. You've probably never been told that before.

I'm willing to bet that in high school, you'd make comments, and nobody ever challenged you on them. Nobody ever said they disagreed or that they thought you were wrong. And now that somebody is, you don't know how to deal with it.

People probably never called your statements out before either because they didn't have the guts to, or because they were taught not to. Seeing as you live in Kentwood, I'm going to guess that you were to school at East Kentwood. Knowing what I know of that school, from growing up and living in the Grand Rapids area, I'm going to guess you were never called out because of the latter idea- that people didn't call you out because they were taught not to. They probably taught kids at your school to respect the other thoughts and ideas of people, and that it's rude to tell somebody that they are wrong or that you disagree with them, that it was ignorant to disagree with what somebody else thinks.

You've said that you will be taking classes at GRCC soon. Guess what. People will call out absurd comments you make there, too.
