I know how you can get with people you disagree with...
Eek - yes, I deserve to be called on that! Actually, that's why I'm usually afraid to raise serious issues with people I care about. That's another interesting moral question, though. How much can you disagree with someone and still consider them a friend, without your continued friendship effectively condoning whatever it is you disagree strongly about? Should you stick around and hope you can influence them slightly, or at some point do you have to say "sorry, I am so opposed to your views on XYZ that I really want nothing more to do with you?".
That There Might Be Giants Song "Your Racist Friend" comes to mind.
