Do you really feel you can speak your mind on the forums?...I know there are many who absolutely speak their mind (me being one of them!)..but if YOU don't why do you feel you can't?
Is there a topic you stay away from because you just know that your views are not reflective of the "majority"?
Do you agree/disagree with things said on here, but are unwilling to defend your point of view on it??
If I have something to say good or bad like it or not I'm going to say it , but some people over step the speaking your mind and are just out to hurt anothers feelings and thats not right!
If we speak our minds thats how we get to know one another
Well I really don't agree or disagree more like either I laugh or I don't laugh! But most of the time I'm OTF LMAO
i also think there's something to be said for...disagreeing with a viewpoint, and not the person behind it. if we were all vanilla, this world would have such a bland palette, and we would have nothing to discuss.
The reason some "topics" get out of hand in my opinion is that people tend to defend their views based on "emotions" rather than "facts"...
That is not to say you should not be "passionate" about what you believe and defend it as such...but most oft times your personal "emotions" are not enough to get someone to see your point of view...it takes "facts" to educate another and bring them around to seeing your point of view...mud slinging---name calling--- that just doesn't cut it...
And that also does not mean that at the end of the day one should not be willing to "Agree to Disagree"...or even say their own mind has been changed based on the well laid out "argument" of another!
..." also think there's something to be said for...disagreeing with a viewpoint, and not the person behind "...
That's an excellent point Lori...I think that happens on the forums alot where because of "who" the originator of a thread is, views tend to "change"....
Lots happening...i'm moving at the end of the month...and of course instead of packing i'm sitting here on the computer as if the "packing" fairy will come and do it for me....did i also mention that i have no clue where i'm moving to at the end of the month??
I know it gets "tiresome" at the best of times Bella...but that is what makes a "forum" successful..is the different points of view and a "healthy argument" defending views...
But i know there are days when you just want to reach into the screen and shake someone...or you just shake your head and sign out...
