Sometimes that IS a stand.
Nope. Laying down is not taking a stand. Hiding in a corner is not courageous
People can be neutral on a topic because a: they can understand the hurt and turmoil on both sides, or b: they think both sides are equally pointless and/or stupid.
I agree, that's the mindset of most modern people. But that doesn't let them off the hook. If they can't understand, or choose not to educate themselves, then they are going to get steamrolled. That's the weakness of today's society. Fat, lazy, apathetic. "Let our children and grandchildren deal with our stupidity. We'll all be dead and gone"
Laying down and rolling over is for dogs
