I hold the same values as you do Cole. But we have to respect eachother in real life. An unwanted verbal attack against someone else's values out of the blue doesn't change their mind. On the other hand, you always have the right to defend yourself, and I probably would have been fully within my rights to tear her a new one. But among other things, I wanted to retain the friendship of my buddy. By all means defend our beliefs, and I'm not talking about discussion in private or public setting where both sides are engaged, But I really doubt you go up to strangers in a bar and start lecturing them on politics for no apparent reason.
