You will make yourself more enmies than friends with this, and you fit only between all chairs. But as they say: a man's fame is measured by the number of his enemies.  |
oora for being controversial! Something you seem to excell at (; I like what your saying.

You'll have 2 types of enemies:
The ones that don't agree with you, but formed their opinions by themselves. But those kind of enemies are actually nice to have around (if they can make a civil conversation, aka not stuborn) as they will make a conversation quite interesting.
And the ones that don't agree with you and their opinion was made by someone else aka the sheep (baaaaaaaa). They will be stuborn, they will be uncivilized and they will be offended if proven wrong. And they come in mass like a mongolian horde. Except the mongolians were civilized compared to these guys.
