I don't knowingly impose my will, values or morals on anyone. I am more than willing to share my ideas, contribute what I think about certain matters and I will always have an opinion, if someone invites me to offer one, but I don't believe that we get anywhere in life by being hard-headed and only capable of seeing one side of a coin.

I wish that there were more people who were capable of keeping their own counsel and minding their own business. So many people are so eager to have everyone duck stepping along with them all likeing the same thing and all the same. Like I have said before I have to make my voice heard before somone thinks that I am part of the herd milling about on the planet lowing at one another.

I may have done it while my children were growing up, but that was because they needed a certain amount of guidance. Now that have become adults, I never impose on them, or anybody for that matter. Everybody is entitle to make their own decisions and have their opinions. I may not always agree with them, but I leave them to it.

I don't force my morals on others but if we are having a conversation about it, I will commmunicate what my values are. It is done in no way to make others change.

No, I do not impose my values, morals, or will onto anyone else. I don't like others to do that to me, I don't do it to others. The key word is IMPOSE. I do, however, stick to my values, morals, or principles of ethics; and don't sway.

Well I may debate or argue my thoughts on a situation with a person but I do believe they have the right to their own opinion no matter what I think. I hate when people try to force things down my throat, no matter what the subject. I actually get a bit on my high horse when people try to do it to me. I dig in my heals and argue even more when they usually would. I think we all are allowed to do what we want and as long as we aren't breaking the law people shouldn't be meddling in our lives.

Respect others even for their shortcomings. That is even if they don't give you the respect back. You live happier.

I think that everyone has their own opinions and they believe in different things, which is what makes this world interesting.
No, I don't impose mine on anyone lese and I hate when people try to impose theirs on me - I agree that is it wrong and I also think it is rude!!

we should not impose our will, vlues and morals on thers. moreover we do not have the right to infringe on others rights. let them come up with their new ideas and by doing so we can also learn something from them.

I'll admit I'm opinionated and blunt, but as far as forcing my will on anyone, nope. Live and let live works for me.

I find that quit hard to believe to be honest. Everybody has certain issues that they relly disagree with. And when somebody does that you too will probably give you opinion and thoughts about that. Maybe that doesn't fall under the category forcing someone. But everybody thinks they are right and (some)other people are bad or wrong. And what about your children, if you have any, or maybe you will in the future, you will teach them what you think is right. So that is also forcing it on to someone else
