This is an exercise in tolerance, not that I can tolerate that crap.
So, the idea is that you complete the following sentence and heal the world with your evenmindedness by seeing the good in everything:

"I think [insert controversial topic, e.g. euthaniasia; abortion; aborted euthanasia] is [insert viewpoint, e.g. fun; sadfaced] but [insert conciliatory statement, e.g. grannies don't feel pain; each to their own, eh, what?]."

I'll begin:
I think the Gilmore Girls is rubbish but I'm going to sit down and watch it with a nice cup of milky coffee and some ginger nuts.
