It is amazing how even on this site some believe their opinions are the only ones that count ?

I haven't found that to be true. But that's just my opinion. Other opinions are welcome.

Thank you for you response !

Guilty as charged i think.
I love to hear other peoples opinions, and I love mine to be proven wrong. But "proven" is a very important word. I think we all invest a lot of ourselves in our beliefs, we don't hold beliefs lightly and usually have good reason to hold them. That said, I try not to labor my point, and am happy for people to have different opinions. (Unless of course they are wrong).

HEE HEE , I would rather agree to disagree than carry on a " I said, you said " conversation. We all hold on dearly to or opimions

@hankster
Which ever way it is put, it is acceptable !

@hankster
Point taken, and I think you are right and I believe agreeing to disagree is the right way to go.

@hankster
Yes, peace brother !

What is the purpose of your post? Are You upset about something?
Everyone, everywhere, Always thinks their opinion is important, not just "on this site".

Not at all, was reading the pists and realise how many opinionated freethinkers are out there ! It might be important but no need to be dogmatic about it ?

Really? I listen to everyone and believe in different points of view - Opinions are just someone's ego.

Sure, but you have an open mind, not like some I am refering too ?

@VAL3941 why don't you take it up with the people you are referring to?

@btroje
And start an argument ? I don't think so.

If a person didn’t believe ‘in their own opinions,’ whose do you suggest they believe..? And if a question requires an opinion ..whose should they give?

What irritates me far more than a conflicting opinion are those too wishy washy or apologetic to formulate one...

Well...you have every opportunity to express your opinions.

But you don't have to be dogmatic about it, do you ?

"dogmatic"...meaning... inclined to lay down principles as incontrovertibly true. Isn't it a true principle of this forum that you have every opportunity to express your opinions? @VAL3941

@nicknotes
But the pissibility exists that your opinion could be wrong ?

@VAL3941 but he can if he wants. that's the beauty of free speech.

@nicknotes exactly and by VAL3941 telling us things like this he is in danger of forcing his opinions on us. the irony.

@LeighShelton Not at all ! And you are free to choose whatever ? I am agreeing with everyone so far. Some very valud points have been made, including by yourself so I am not imposing on anyone !

@VAL3941 well it's not worth arguing over

@LeighShelton
Correct ! The original posr was merelyvan obervation, but thank goodness it brought me many valuable points towards my nex level. Lol

That's for sure....@LeighShelton

Everyone has a right to their own opinion, whether they are right or wrong. Look at all the Trump followers, I don't agree with them and they have a right to feel the way they do. Freedom of speech is the first amendment.

It's not that amazing or surprising. Humans need a world model to function. The chance that everyone develops the same one is vanishingly small.

Thank you for your input !

Not really, still amazes me though ?

Willful ignorance is not limited to religion... although I think it is hard to have religious beliefs without also having willful ignorance.

Same as it ever was.

People will always be people

I think you are trying to over simplify it. Both might be right and both might be wrong, so it should be discussed in an orderly manner, not by being bombastic ?

Lol

@VAL3941 it's generalised but none the less true

@Eray
Don't think we can come any closer to the truth than this. Thank you !

@LeighShelton
See @Eray's post above !

@VAL3941 with all due respect, I can give my opinion anyway I want especially when we are talking about well over 7,000,000,000 individuals with such diverse opinions that they will kill each other for them and do and it's definitely not all about religion by a long way even on THIS site where we are all human.

Good catch! You are correct.

Level 7

I believe that my opinion are correct, not that they "count". If I had an opinion that I thought was incorrect I would change it. I am always open to new evidence.

Disagree toy, it's a site to let people know that there is more than one of us in the world!

Agreed, so respect other peoples ideas and posts as well is the point I am trying to make ?

It's hard to know quite what you mean. The point of this site is to have opinions and discuss them with other people. It's how we learn and expand our view of life the universe and everything. And until someone shows us different evidence, of course we all think our own opinions are the correct ones. The important thing is to be open to the evidence.

@TheAstroChuck Normally, in the outside world, I would agree. But so far on this site I have found very few people who are unwilling to consider another point of view. I have come across a few but they seem to stay in their own tight little groups and not engage with others so I feel they are best left alone until they feel confident enough to engage with us.

Level 8

in the word believe there is a big lie in the middle.
I've noticed that the ones that give the strongest offense (as in highly offensive comments) often have a weak defense. That works well in real life (i.e. looking intimidating) but more difficult to execute in text form.
Don't take it personally because the more you insist on changing the other person's opinion, the more you appear to be the empty opinionated to that person. If you think your opinion is valid others will support you.

Correct, all we need to do is agree to disagree !

Level 9

Do those people write the longer response or do they have the shorter response?

@TheAstroChuck
I think you are spot on. Depends on the persons mood, typing skills, level of education etc etc. Everyone is different !
