i heart fighting with strangers

so i remember now why i hate mondays...everyone is extra sensitive on mondays. yesterday i got in a screaming match with htus girl in my soc class in the middle of class. it made for a great frickin day. so it all began very innocently as we sat in our group and chatted about our project. Then she decided to start talking....she said that she had ethical problems with how the grup had chosen the topic and that our ethics were questionable. in my rather short time on the planet i have never had my ethics questioned and over such a stupid thing i was rather suprised....i would think that in someones third year of university a difference of opinion could be handled maturely...apperantly i was wrong. she went on to say that she felt that as a group as well as me specifically were attacking her for her feelings...she was concerned that us talking about sexuality in class would offend her group of friends that were of no specific issue to our project all. i understand that you are concerned with what your friends might think of you... there are times that we all are. but would they ever even hear about the project if you didn't tell them...so i don't really understand the problem. if you cannot handle critisism and discussion where everyone will not agree then you should not take classes where there wll be group discussion or projects and maybe you should consider not attending a post secondary institution.
ahhh i heart fighting with strangers.
