There are many hot topics in today's world and there are many people with a passionate voice on various sides of these topics. The topics hotly debated may include gun control, immigration, health care, police profiling, political scandals plus many more. I've noticed that many people get loud and boisterous as if the louder you shout your position the more value it holds. In reality the volume with which you argue does not always equate to the value of your argument, sometimes it distracts from your intended message.
This frequently happens with crowds when one person tries to drowned out the other preventing them from speaking. Differing opinions are good but each side needs to have an opportunity to state their position. When I see people shouting at the top of their voice with veins popping in their neck to give an opinion all I see is anger and hatefulness. It makes them appear uneducated and irrational. My mind will ignore their message because of the aggressive tactic used to convey their position. Sometimes you will see people on opposite sides of a hot topic yelling their comments at each other, that only makes both look like fools.
So if you want to represent your position on a subject in a valued way, do so by representing yourself in the best light. By that I mean state your position based on facts in an intelligent manner. Loud and obnoxious does not make you sound right or smart. "Just Saying..."
