For years I was baffled by angry debates. I grew up in a home where it was encouraged to discuss things from all different angles and to see all points of view. Nobody got heated. Dad and Mom would explain one side of an argument, then the other. This pertained to political topics (which I admit bored me to tears) as well as to spiritual, religious, and biblical subject matter (which held my interest a little more.)
Once out of my house, it didn't take long to realize that not everyone grew up this way. :)
The biggest down side to growing up this way, for me, is that I often have a hard time formulating my own opinion. :)
