I was watching an episode of anthony bourdain's no reservation. it was an old episode with ted nugent. obviously they have very different views about the world but it was really refreshing to see that both were able to look past that to enjoy a beer and some good ol' texas BBQ. I don't get why two very different people can't enjoy each others' company on TV.  The whole episode anthony bourdain emphasized that he didn't agree with ted most of the time but their exchanges were cordial, and even included a little bit about politics.  I decided to see the reaction online and this stuff is what I found:

Anthony. Are you stooping to new lows by associating with Ted?

Sort of off-topic, after I saw Anthony Bourdain do one of his programs featuring Ted, shooting his guns, etc., I've never watched another Bourdain program. Prior to that I liked him, thought he was cool. That's my boycott.

I didn't know exchanging ideas with someone you don't agree with makes you a bad person. : / This is what I think is what's so inherently wrong with society today. I've learned a lot from people who I don't agree with.
