It it ever worth hiding what you believe to avoid conflict?
Yes
On a night out in Colraine last november Rangers had beaten Celtic in the CIS cup. Anyway lets say some of the songs being sung I found to be a tad racist... Outnumbered 500-1, I decided it was wise to keep my views to myself...
Yes. Especially as you could well be wrong....! :eek: :DQuote:

No they wouldn't, you idiot... You always bloody think you're right, you need a good kicking...Quote:

Its not worth hiding your beliefs, no way, thats what makes people unique!
Some people hid their beliefs to be tactful or as not to put your safety at risk. Typical example is the Rangers - Celtic post above. Personally I avoid Celtic conversations with their fans as I find they are liable to murderize me when I say I don't really care if Rangers won the league.
I believe in some crazy things so for example in work I'd keep it under wraps as not to be considered mental :)
Gareth - ffs :rolleyes:
Any response that is in anyway "auld firm" and it's getting split off and binned.
Sorry :)
Just try to avoid conflict in future... :DQuote:
