"Differences of opinions . . .help us think more critically about our own beliefs."

That I can agree with. However, we still get no where unless we are open minded and willing to look at things from a perspective other than our own. We have to be aware that our own experiences, emotions and biases can cloud our visions. Most of all, we have to accept that nobody has a monopoly on truth, no even ourselves.

It doesn't take classes. It just takes common sense. What Bellamy did had consequences that were much more serious than what Finn did. Bellamy didn't hurt someone's feelings. Three hundred and twenty people DIED, and others were put at greater risk. Bellamy also acted deliberately. He knew people on the Ark would die if they didn't learn the truth about the ground, but he did it anyway to save his own ass. Even if Finn acted with deliberate forethought instead of on impulse & misjudgement, it wouldn't be nearly as bad as what Bellamy did. If you can't see that, something is blocking your vision. You should rethink your own logic and reasoning.
