Us vs Them..Us and Them

All conflicts since the beginning of time have included some kind of disagreements in them; whether it's the petty "he said, she said" scenario, or something a little more serious like clashing political views between candidates for office. Rolling with the political candidate idea...there are a zillion different issues that people feel strongly about, usually because of that party that they are associated with (republicans or democrats). Some of the main conflicts highly debated today are between those pro-life and pro-choice, for gay marriage or same sex marriage, in favor of up-ing the taxes for all (or just the wealthy) and those who would like to cut taxes. Both sides have legitimate arguments behind what they believe, and one cannot fairly say what is right or wrong. Whatever the most "popular" belief is among voters is reflected based on who is chosen for office. Although there are always those dissatisfied with the decisions made at the end of the day, it's important to remember whenever there's a conflict, there are usually people who aren't pleased.

  2. I don't think there is one thing out there that EVERYBODY likes, and if for some strange reason there is, I think there will be one person who flips sides just for the sake of disagreement.
