[QUOTE="J Willhaus, post: 1228300, member: 41003"] There is a danger is communicating and listening only to people who think like ourselves. We can become increasingly polarized and things like the Camino which used to bring us together drives us apart. If you allow it, the Camino brings you into contact with people you might never have known or done things with at home. It can bridge age, culture, socio-economic status if we let it or it can drive us deeper into a singular mindset. We all have opinions and we all judge others whether we want to believe or admit it. The ability to share those opinions is a protected right in my country and in other countries it is not. You might be imprisoned or even killed for saying something unpopular against the wrong person or thing under other governments. There are organizations who make their Camino opinions (popular or not) quite clear. The hospitaleros they employ or accept as volunteers are the face that has to disappoint some and delight others. If you don't enforce the "rules" you won't be invited back or maybe you won't choose to volunteer for an organizaiton whose rules you can't live with. The rules are not always clear until you arrive and get a handoff from the next person if you have not been there before (at least in our case). In any case, those who have participated in this thread now know the rules for this Amigos group and their albergues and whether we agree or not, it has provoked a robust discussion. [/QUOTE]
