I refuse to totally grow up. I've always been someone who says and does things that push politically correct boundaries.

Being against other people's policies eventually puts you in a downward spiral. It's fine to be principled and oppose views that you don't agree with, but you also have to have an alternative.

Kids hate anyone who is different.

Every kid who hated grownups becomes a grownup. Well, except the ones who died.

There's always going to be someone somewhere who doesn't agree with my parents' opinion of me. It can't bother you.

When the policy is controversial, you have to go out and defend it.

In so much of politics you're not allowed to disagree with what's been agreed.

You don't have to dislike people you disagree with and it doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to have bipartisan friendships in this place. Life's too short to have it any other way.

No one is born hating others.

If you have learned how to disagree without being disagreeable, then you have discovered the secrete of getting along - whether it be business, family relations, or life itself.
