Yes, you in a way do need the approvals of others before asserting your views.
You are like the neighbor who just moved into the neighborhood and then start stirring up stuff without really understanding the innerworking of those around you.
Most agree with what you say. Some don't. Others just don't care or know the difference. You need to start figuring who's who before you start firing away.

There is debating, and then there is being confrontational. Which one do you want to do?

Does that discount my life experience, or anybody else's life experience? Does your conclusions gleaned from your personal experience make your conclusions the corrects ones universally applicable to everybody and every situation?

There's no need for that kind of talk. Let's all just be above it.
