Your Own Preconceptions Should Not Be Considered As A Reason Not To Accept Others
If you were taught as a child not to accept other races should you automatically look down on those of another race? Or if your church says gays are wrong should you treat gays as second class citizens? I believe we are all equal do you? Green is equal Red is some are better than others.

People are people, their race, colour or creed doesn't change that ; in amongst those people you will find good, bad and indifferent (and knowing us a few that don't fall into any cattegory in the book) all should be judged on their actions not their parents.

I hope I've posted on the right side, green is for equality right? I believe we should all be treated as equal, diversity is no reason to not accept another. Preconceptions are usually wrong, its a way of categorising a group of people without actually knowing someone. I really hate when a person says, my religion says I should hate certain types of people, whether its gays, westerners etc. If a person really has to judge they should go out and meet a gay person or a person of a different skin colour or ethnic background. You can't only learn from what people have told you, your never be open to the possibilities of what that person is like. Accepting people for there differences is the only way to a fairer and more equal society.

 you posted on the wrong side. whether you are in favor or against is determined solely by the debate title, not the explanation.

Preconceptions based on religious beliefs or what your parents taught you are a major problem with society these days. People need to learn to think for themselves and come up with their own beliefs and views. If you don't have your own personal philosophy, then you're living you life based on someone else's experiences. How smart is that?
