I Have Something to Say

I wonder if it’s realized how many arguments, not just here, but all over the internet could be avoided by using one simple world.

“Some”

Some liberals
Some conservatives
Some veterans
Some men
Some women

This simple word stops many statements from inadvertently becoming wide brush, sweeping, blanket statements; that may cause arguments because someone takes offense at being included in with the group statement.

So, it’s a little word, use it...some. 😉

It's the same with life. My dad is a landlord, and when there are reports about unethical landlords, he assumes it's an attack on him, because he views it as a sweeping statement. If we get away with that implication, then we'd have far more productive debates. "Some"-times.
