Climate change?

 Today we see a real climate change. No, I am not talking about weather. This climate change has to do with the way people act. Have you noticed that certain political talk can really get people nerved up? Maybe it even gets a little heated. I have seen tempers flare and blood pressure rise just watching posts on social media. Maybe its time to step back from these polarizing topics and get back to the basics, nay I say the good ole days ? 

There are many different personalities out there and each one is interesting in its own way. I happen to be one of those "water off a ducks back" kind of guy while some of my best friends lose their mind if someone says one negative thing about them on Facebook. To those that take it personal, the best advise I can give is to consider the source when getting down about a not so friendly post by someone you have never met. 

The climate on social media can be cooled down many different ways. When a hot topic starts to boil, keep opinions to yourself. The wonderful opinion may be 100% accurate but nay
sayers will pounce and shout about how you cant cite specific "studies". A couple reputable links that support your facts can work wonders. If  data backed up by reputable sources wont do the trick, try to appeal to a common ground and work from there. If you can find that common ground, it becomes easier to cool down the entire conversation. If all else fails, don't be so stubborn that you cant just walk away. Most social media arguments will never get resolved but the heat can continue for days. Take it from someone that has seen all sides of social media, it is not worth messing up your day over a social media heat wave.
