I have noticed lately that there are some discussions that are on topics that I have strong opinions on, but I am not responding because I don't feel like arguing with the person or any others that may agree with them. For one thing, I would be getting this person money so they can tell me I'm wrong. For another, I am tired of people telling me there way is better than mine. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has been feeling this way.

For me i don't get argumentive replies and even if i get also i won't care as different people have different views. You have a point in what you are saying as whatever we reply we earn the same cent so better have peace. Mylotters here don't even reply to my discussions so i haven't exprienced negative responses either anway i am on your side that is, i don't care what people think or say about me here as long as i earn some cent and gain some knowledge. Happy earning to you here in mylot.

Well yes, if I see that a discussions is made just for arguments and personal purposes then I don't join it. There are more fruitful ways to discuss things here without ending into arguments, as I believe that there are also such topics and subjects that shouldn't be opened up here since it is better if they do it on proper forums and single with each other personally!LoL I believe that mylot is made for fun and interaction, people should always consider that their so-called "intelligent" posts should be discussed intelligently in public and in personal..

I have seen some discussions like that. I am not going to argue over something like that. I have left a comment before and not meant anything by it and had people come back and leave mean comments under mine. And whats so funny about it is I didn't mean it like they took it. I think some people just like to agrue. Now there's nothing wrong with a good debate as long as it doesn't get to heated.

I love a good debate. It draws me , instead of pushing me away. If you have something that you feel strongly about, state your opinion and keep going. There is no rule that says you have to argue your point back and forth. That is what causes you to get minuses. When you know that you are right, say it once and go one with your life. There are a lot of topics that I reply to and keep going. If someone responds negatively, I have learned that I can take it with a grain of salt and keep going.

I used to like participating in discussions where i can voice out my strong opinion... but sad to say that some people are not that open minded... or they seem to forget the fact that we are all entitled to our ouwn opinion... some of them would give me negative rating... so i get stuck to the red star 9 rating... I also read that someone got stalked here in mylot because of her different opinion... so now, i try not to participate in those kinds of discussion where strong opinions are involve...

yes, I do know how you feel. I have strong thoughts on some controversial issues and I love a healthy debate. Problems arise when someone gets rude or hostile towards me for my thoughts or worse yet, completely misunderstands and belittles me for misreading me. I have actually shyed away from those topics a bit for that very reason. I respect other peoples views and while I am strong in my personal convictions i do have a fairly open mind and can certainly understand another persons views. At times I've even been caused to pause and re-think my views from hearing things from another perspective.

Ya I have found that oppisite views are here are not always a good thing but not always bad depending on how mature both people are. I ahve had sometime where i had a good dsicussion and both me and the other person leaving feeling like we learned something but then others will just give you a bad rating for thinking differently.
