Do you value opinions?

I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion on things. We can't force people to think how we do . Their would be no diversity in the world otherwise.

Sure, of course... well the logical long-term me says yes. Opinions are nice because they allow you more angles of looking at the same issue. Usually, people reject different opinions from their own because either they feel insecure, or they are too dogged about their own views so much so that even the evidence appears before their eyes, they will still stand by what they believe in. So it's nice to have varying opinions. Just take things with a pinch of salt. ^^

We should learn how to value everyone's opinions. Whether they agree or disagree with us, we all have a diversity minds. It would serve no purpose if everyone keep agreeing with you albeit, you are clearly wrong. You won't see your mistakes and there will be no room for you to grow as well. If a person disagree with me, then I will weigh his words. Oftentimes, this helps me to look through the situation in a more concise angle.

like you, i also value people's opinion. when people say their opinions to me, i listened to them and if i disagree with what they say, i just keep silent. this is because i believe that each of us see things or life for that matter differently. what you values may differ from mine or how you comprehend the situation may not be the same with mine. anyways, that what they call it OPINION right? people's own ideas, thoughts towards something or someone, a judgement, an assessment or even evaluation over something. so for me, it's useless to disagree with somebody's opinion. all you got to do is listen and try to look at things the way the communicator sees it.

good question, when i am made or in a bad moode i usually don't just because of the moode, so i have to say that most time i do.

i value other people's opinions whether they are right or wrong because each and everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion... but there are acceptable ways of expressing our opinions. i hate it when people end up emphasizing their opinions in an impolite manner.

If the opinion is worth, i always value it ...

Joey I understand what you mean and it is not mylot's fault, these kinds of people you will find everywhere and at all stages of your life no matter where to go, the question is are you going to let them ruin it for you?

You might be on to something. I don't know, this is a great big grey area. I suppose we all see some things from different perspectives and through varying experiences. Many topics are wide open as to what is true or what is concrete. My opinions and views differ quite often, but I am only stating what is real for me. I don't mind others telling me my views are wrong or incorrect. They might be in some cases. It isn't worth getting upset about anything on this site or why people say the things they do. If it is something rude or uncalled for, I can let it pass by. It is difficult to always know the intentions of the poster, at least I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

I think everyone's entitled to their own opinions and we should respect that about each other, even if we disagree there is a part where we debate about it but never let it get too ugly.. I've noticed that in some of my discussions too. I think it's pretty much been around since forever, but we notice it more now, because more and more people are doing it... I recently answered a discussion of my friend about how he hates Harry Potter and if there's other people like that here, all he got was a little bit of badgering from Harry Potter lovers, who actually got a little more personal than just discussing points of view. I like Harry Potter a lot and I answered to this discussion too, telling him that I like Harry Potter and why I liked him, but not once did I badger him for not liking him too, or changing his opinion about it...And we were very civil and friendly to each other. But that wasn't the case with all the responses, it's when people start pointing fingers and getting personal then it gets ugly. Like another discussion that I just started about the celebrity soul mate test, it's supposed to be fun and some person said that they didn't like the celebrity they got, I merely asked why they didn't like them... and then they started it... I mean I don't back down from a fight, but I don't start them either... It got personal because this person said I was obsessed with celebrities and hero-worship and then this whole religious political thing also crept in. What's with that? So you don't like something, but don't get personal, and don't get political, I hate it when people take something simple and fun and make it into a political issue. It just makes me barf... And it comes to a point where you find yourself also getting personal and I hate doing that, so in the end I usually just make my point and say that there's no hard feelings and there aren't.. Anyway, I don't wanna ramble on and on, just wanna say that I respect other's opinions as long as they respect mine too. We can all cordially agree to disagree and still be friends...

hmm... we are all different people but in some cases we do have similarities. so as we differ in our thoughts and opinions, maybe just a respect for the person whom you differ to but aren't we be going to be united if we are all different? maybe for at least we could become one for the good of everyone... some people really do insist or pursuade you to stick with their opinion.. at least be reasonable and kind to others why you must be on your thoughts.

i too value opinions, in fact i like to argue with them. i like giving out opinion and i like to opinions from other people.

My view is summed up in a Harlan Ellison quotation: "You don't have a right to an opinion - you have a right to an INFORMED opinion." So many people these days have very strange and uninformed opinions on everything from immigration policy to global warming, and if you question the basis for these opinions - they get terribly huffy, as if their viewpoint - based on something they half-heard limbaugh say and a case of dyspepsia countered one based on decade or so of paying attention to the issue and knowing the facts. Al Gore writes about this problem which amounts to a lack of respect for the honesty and sincerity of opposing views in his book, "The Assault on Reason." and the reader reviews section is the best illustration for the necessity of such a work that I could imagine.

People concerned will give their opinion about you... it is not necessarily that, that opinion is a positive or a negative one.. it doesn't matter... How you'd take someone's opinion is up to you.. If someone will give me an opinion...i'll take it ... i'll be happy to hear someone's opinion.. It will give you some idea regarding with something... Sometimes if you have problem your asking an opinion... For you to be able to solved your problem easily... For me giving or receiving opinion is good... You can express yoursleves to others... You can learn something bout their opinion also... Those opinions that you will here and receive... You dont actually need to get all of it nor to follow it... You just have to get some good points and then you decide...

I value the opinion of others. at least i listen to their opinions. I expect others to value my opinion. Even if i don't agree to others' opinion and i don't argue with them. Just ignore.

I do not mind when people express their opinions and how they feel about certain things at all. I know that I will not agree with some of what they say but it is their opinion and that is ok to me.

I agree with you completely . I have never run into this myself as of yet but have noticed others being down right rude and ignorant to others that ask something . This is just childish and more then a little immature , there is no point in answering a disucssion if one can't take the time to answer how they feel yet still with enough tact to respect how the other person feels . In life we all view things in our own way and for our own reasons but this does not make any of us wrong , just a difference of opinion . I am seeing this more and more and believe it has a lot to do with the growng number of people on MyLot each day .

well i do listen to teh guys but do as i wish. i do value them by listening them i think but act as i want to act!!!

I just assume that the whole idea of myLot is for people to vent and ask other's opinions. I learned to choose my battles though. I think there are a few topics that people could debate (like politics and religion), but to be rude is uncalled for. Everyone has their own opinion, it's life, but we all need advice every now and then and I think it's nice to be able to hear other's opinions. If you don't want to hear what other people think, don't say it out loud.

Hello Joey, absolutely, regardless whether the opinion is positive or negative. I value all the opinion and advice come to me. These are the information or real life experience that $$$$ can't buy. I appreciate them as it gives me the idea or thinker what to do next and how to do it better. True, I did saw some argument on the discussion. Rude or gentle, these are all the stuff that we can learn from them. Have a nice day.
