Be pro-life. But don't tell people that have to be. Be straight, but don't tell people they have to be (or try to force them to by denying their rights). Be conservative, but don't tell people they have to be.

It's pretty easy, actually.


yep.. pushing your belife on others is probably the core social issue with this country today. "Join us or your damned to hell" and "your a stupid redneck if you belive that" are totaly negative ways of interacting with others. I have been spending a large ammount of my effort into changing my speach away from phrases like "you should do ...."
It's hard for me, because I'm a sysadmin, it's my job to make technical decisions for others, and sometimes I end up saying "no, you should not do that" to people in an effort to protect the security of their data. Negative speech is subtle, and sometimes I just can't think of a good way to say things.
