what do you do when you don,t agree on a discussion?

I think you should just disagree in a honst opinion. There is no need to not state your opinion shince everyone's opinions are different. But if you disagree you shouldn't insult the other people's opinions. Just agree to disagree.

i still response in a nice way. that is what mylot is all about to say what you think and to say what is your perspective on a certain matter. i also make sure i include the words JUST MY VIEWS before the end of my response. you can not change people's oppinion specially about values, costume and traditions that we got used to or we are raised at. the biggest battle in mylot i read mostly is about religion and abortion.

Hi If I dont agree with the discussion I speak it out honestly what I think or else if my answer hurts some one I really avoid responding to such a discussion. Happy myloting.

i still try to voice my opinion.we have our own ideals,opinions and principles.and i think it's always best to hear different ideas rather than having one common thing with each other.that way,there will always be more room for learnings. it's okay to disagree with somebody at one point so long as your approach is nice,polite and of course,treat the other person with respect. happy mylotting!

I think you must state honestly you r opinion even if you do not agree on a discussion. I don't think a reasonably mature person will be able to tolerate variance in opinion. While stating it only be polite and not overbearing. You may have a very strong opinion on something which many would like to come across and buy. And suppose the reasons you have based your opinion on are very sound. Then you are depriving some people of awell-reasoned argument. If you find that the discussion is hotting up too much due to dissidence then you can branch off a discussion your self and gather people who share your opinion. This is only if the starter of a discussion is simply intolerantto disidence.Otherwise it is better opposing views are available in one place for people to get a balanced picture on some topic.

If a discussion catches my eye and as i start reading and i don't agree with what is being said. I voice my opinion. I answer as honestly as i can. Like you said everyone is different, and has different opinions, why should you agree with what is said just to agree. and someone might learn something from all the different views about something.

If I totally disagree and I see the poster doesn't accept any topic that is against his opinion then I would just ignore the topic because I consider that topic to be already closed topic. If I do think I have the right opinion for it and the poster is open to accept criticism then I would probably give my share of opinion.

It is easy to agree with discussions here, but there may be some occassions where one could not digest the relevance of the discussion itself. In such situations, it's better to ignore it. But in some cases, one may not agree with the direction to which the discussion is going but still like to express an opinion. Then, it is good to be honest, instead of nodding in agreement to the majority's view.

It depends on the topic. If the topic I don't agree with is something that is light, by all means I will post my response even if it's an objection to the author's opinion. However, if my response will hurt the author I just don't respond to it. I remember there was one discussion here where I said something as a compliment to the author/respondent but the author/respondent thought otherwise. So, she commented that I hurt her with what I wrote and I wrote a comment that it wasn't my intention to hurt but I was actually commending her for her actions. Well, it's a good thing that she made it known to me that I offended her but I also got offended that my good words were misinterpreted. That's all under the bridge now. Everything is just okay.

I don't shy away from tough discussions. I go in, say my piece and move on. If the OP wants to discuss it rationally, great...I'm all for it. If all they want to do is fight, call names and insult, I won't waste my time or energy. If we discuss but still don't see eye to eye on it, I simply agree to disagree and that's that.

If I don't agree with a discussion, I honestly voice my opinion because we all have a right to that. In my short stay here in myLot, I find that people are willing to listen to all kinds of opinions. I haven't really encountered anyone so close minded as to keep on convincing me of his/her own views.

Hey there! Yes, with no hesitations. I would point out my views and explain it. I answer it honestly and with integrity. Some may not like it, but I try to show them my point with respect to their own opinion. Have a nice day. Happy posting!!

I am always honest when answering discussions or comments to mine. I do make it a point to let the disagreeing party know that I don't condemn or think less of them because of the way they feel. I think it's good we all have some different points to be made. It spices things up.

Sure why not? If I start a discussion and someone doesn't agree....I welcome the different point of view as long it remains constructive and friendly. Heated debates can be quite interesting though!

For myself, it is quite a simple decision. If there is a discussion that I don't agree with I simply avoid it. I pass it by and go onto a discussion that I can contribute to in a positive way. My intent here at MyLot is to contribute useful and helpful information, when at all possible. If I see a discussion that I disagree with, I usually don't bother saying anything. I rather spend my time with discussions that are of interest to me rather than having a debate.

If I know something of what is in the post I give my opinion. If I dont I dont respond!

I give my opinion but I don't need to be harsh or rude. it is better to give your opinion than lie about agreeing to a discussion which you know in your heart to be different from what you believe. happy mylotting.

It depends on what it is about. If it's just opinion, I shut up and leave the discussion. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Also I don't want a negitive for something that doesn't matter. If it has to do with cruelty to animals and children, I speak up and let my voice be heard. I'm very vocal on animal issues. Every one can give me negitive and I don't care. I care about the animals welfare.

Hi annjilena! If I don't agree with someone in a discussion I try to say what I need to say without causing them to get angry or without getting too upset myself. If I truly feel that I can't do this I will not respond at all. If I feel that a discussion is going to get out of hand and will end up being nothing but a big arguement or free for all I will stay out of it! There are just times that it is better to move on and keep quiet!
