One of the many things I am tired of is people trying to convince me that something I should enjoy something I don't like. Don't get me wrong. I can admit that things I don't like may in fact still be good. Here are a few examples.
I do not personally like Firefly. Its just not my Whedon-ized cup of tea. But I can admit that it is a good, quality show and I see why people like it. Its just not for me.
Another example: Curb Your Entheusiasm. To me, its just not funny. Its not that I don't get it. I'm not anti-semitic. Heck, I really like Seinfeld, another show Larry David worked on. Seinfeld I liked. Curb Your Entheusiasm... not so much. I hate to say it... and I'm sure I'll catch heck at some time in the future for it, but its not funny. This one I do not understand what my brother sees in it.
This is why I don't expect people to like what I like for the most part. See, to me, Transformers the Movie is the greatest cinematic masterpiece ever concieved. I can explain to others why I like it, but all the same, I do not expect everyone else to "get it."
Its the same way with people's personal views as well. You can express them all you want, as I do. In fact, I encourage everyone to do so. Variety and differences are the spices of life. Just don't expect everyone else to "get it," and certainly don't try and force others to do so.
