I speak my mind, whether anyone else agrees with me or not, lol! I love a good debate, always have. I'm not too worried about saying what others want to "hear" just for the sake of making money. There are plenty of discussions to post on that aren't "debatable".

debates are fun! or they can be, anyway.
Really, what have you got to lose, saying what's on your mind?
A measly few cents...Not worth sucking up in my opinion!!!

I'm a debater, but it doesn't seem like anyone has given me a negative for disagreeing with them so far though. I've noticed a few other posters who take non-mainstream positions, and always appreciate it. The discussions are more interesting when people state their honest views, and a debate can take place.

at least people are respectful of opinions on here then. I wondered sometimes about the amount of people who aren't giving their honest thoughts when I see some of the sucking up going on.

Why would you be afraid to get a bad response. This is a discussion website. I hope people speak their mind. Besides most people make their money responding to discussions no matter whether they are positive or negative.

I know that their is the negative rating button and people have complained about their rating numbers going down. It seems to me that a lot of people are agreeing with the topic poster (especially if they haven't selected the best response yet) so that they have a better chance of a good rating. I also notice people post things like, "say something and I will give you a good rating". That isn't really a discussion, IMO.
So I just wonder how many people really post what is on their mind when responding...
Good to know that a few of you are honest and don't mind sharing your opinions!

The interesting thing is...are people here just agreeing with you for the sake of it? I don't think many people would come out and say "No I just say nice stuff to get along"
Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't make it a bad response.
I'm still not sure on how the ratings work? What happens if you give someone a negative rating?

Well...you are right about the possibility that people are lying.
and I agree that just because someone doesn't agree it isn't a bad response. There are some people who have posted contrary beliefs on that matter.
I am not sure if you get a lower rating score if someone gives you a negative response or not.

it is very hard to give respect to your opposing side when debating. It's good that you don't mind giving your opinion though!

I may not respect the opinion, but I respect the person and their right to look stupid.

I find myself mostly looking for the more serious discussions.. I decided to discus on MyLot, like I would discuss anywhere else and not think about what I'm earning or not.. even tho I figure I might as well dicuss where I do earn something.. as sometimes I can burn a lot of time discussing..

I speak my mind... if i don't agree with someone, I will let them know that. If i do agree, I let them know that as well. I don't really care if someone gets mad at me or whatnot for an answer I give.

I will always speak my mind. I am not about to say something just to get a good rating. I don't say what ppl want to hear in person and I am not about to change my ways on here. I enjoy a little back and forth discussion. Controversy is good.

Good question, and of course serious debaters will agree with you on this point, but hopefully would argue with you if relevant in another discussion. Any serious debater should not mark a comment negatively just because their opinion has been disagreed with.

Why be afraid of getting bad responses on an internet site. I don't know anyone personally on here so why should I care? PErsonally I'm gonna give it to you the way it is. But I'm like that with people I know too. Of course there is a thing called tact that is very important.

I'll debate with someone if only they have a bad opinion and I'll try to explain my positive thinking...

what is a "bad" opinion to you? Something that you disagree with? Or are you talking about someone being wrong and you correcting them?

what is illogical about this discussion?
Everyone is staying on topic so I would say that the posts are definately relevant.

i agree some discussions really don't make much sense or have much of a purpose, but unfortunately they are out there!
