SPEAK YOUR MIND (96)
yup. seen it, too...
been on the recieving, and giving part...
I will give my opinion... and I will read others', as well... If I know meanness is going on, I'll say something.
Seen alot of people do the gang thing, too. Happens at alot of places.
Funny thing? In the real world, I bet very few would stand tall and back up what they say, LOL!

But do you invite an opinion and then jump all over someone and pick them apart when they share theirs with you?

oh, I want opinions. There are times when I'm wrong, and reading another point of view helps...
I also challenge a view... I probably have jumped on occassion when I'm in a mood, or misunderstood something... But, I do apologize to them, as well. Admitting wrong goes along with it all...
Also, not everyone will see the same thing.
There are times when someone or other and myself disagree... it doesn't mean no respect, or freindship.

I usually feel like I can voice my opinion.
Often times I simply avoid certain topics because I'm on here to relax not to antagonize or be antagonized.
Sometimes if my opinion is different from that of the majority I will defend it and sometimes it's just not worth it to me and I won't respond.
I have been known to jump on certain things. However, if I am wrong I also apologize.
Sometimes I don't voice my opinion simply because I still feel like the new kid on the block and I'm more comfortable observing.

You mean you have a discussion? and maybe a difference of opinion?
There is a big difference in having opposing viewpoints and having a perspective you want to ram down someone elses throat...regardless the topic. It seems some people just thrive on being the adversary.

yeah, I know.
I think it's important to have different views, and opinions...
I won't tolerate someone shoving crap down my throat, I I wouldn't expect anyone to tolerate it from me...
When I do see a wrong, I will point it out. Sometimes I am mistaken...
Also, there are those that come here with the intent to create crap. They get a kick out of it.
I think sometimes folks get too defensive, as well. I also feel some people need to feel offended and look at the reasons behind why...?
I do it, too.

woops, lol.
pushed it too quick...
I would rather think, and live with intent, and rebelious, than sit by and watch things happen...

I used to be the one always 'pickin it up' now I'm just burnt out. Like Alex so elequently said...pearls and swine...yada yada. Sometimes it's just not worth the effort. I save my energies now for when I think the receiving end may actually be receiving and able/willing to process. I don't expect or need agreement but an open mind is a must.
------ This thread is Archived ------
oh, absolutely.
I might have said it before...dunno.
If there is no getting through... say folks are just fighting for the sake of it... Nope. I won't. If I'm feelin' froggy, I might go in and hijack...hehehe.
I don't necessarily want people to agree with me. I wold like people to understand my view, wether they use any part of it, or not is up to them. I folks keep a closed mind, no amount of opinions, views... will matter. However, there might just be one or two people who hear?
I can only offer my views, and experiences. Learning never stops for me. Sometimes someone will have a similar view, and maybe word it a new way, and I take that and see my own experiences in a new light...
A wrench thrown into the machine now and then can be a good thing...=o)
When it becomes mob mentality, and some of us get tossed in just for giving a view? That does piss me off. I have to say. I reeeaaallly, don't like being corralled into groups.
Heh. rambling again!

I'm here to have fun,get to know folks.I dont know much about politics or religion and if I wanted to argue I would have stayed married.I have enough trouble keeping myself afloat and dealing with my world to take much notice of the bigger picture.I do speak my mind but with a twist of humor.I often offend or people just ignore me like real life....who cares.life goes on for me.

I really enjoy reading people's expressions of thought like this in this forum. This is not merely opinion it is experience. I think I also learn better from people who I respect because they are knowledgeable about a subject and they also show me respect. And the statement you made about being rebellious to the one who did not show respect for you as a person but only wanted to impress you with what she knew. I can relate to that because that is when I become rebellious or get turned off...when someone tries to push too hard, too fast, or ram their opinion down my throat.
------ This thread is Archived ------
respect for a person's learning process is always appreciated, I think. There is a good quote about the things people forget but what they remember is the way you made them feel.
------ This thread is Archived ------
Yes. That is why I like the statement question of "how would you like to be treated that way" or "how would you react if you were treated that way". It has a way of bypassing the intellect and getting to the gut reaction. As the Indians put it, "Don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his mocassins." The more information one has on a certain subject the better one is qualified to make a judgement call. It is the basis of our nurses' report so that we can all be on the same pag during shift changes. Accuracy is important because we all are responsible and can be held accountable. It can have ramifications down the whole chain of command. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

And yes I do avoid topics and people as well because I have learned that with some things and people it's just not worth the aggravation I give myself. It changes nothing ...only leaves me frustrated and saddened at what exists in humanity. Swine, pearls yada yada yada...
