Does it drive you crazy when someone tells you your personal opinion is wrong?

[WalnutButter]

I don't know what your favorite color is.

i don't know what your favorite dog is.

I don't know what your favorite car is.

But on this site, people will often say you're wrong about your personal opinion.

I gave my personal opinion on dating, and some guy said I was wrong. lol What? He joined my blocked zone.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

I'm up for a debate, but your personal opinion isn't something debatable.

[NamerOfStars]

Not anymore. I first encountered that behavior from a college professor- one who would go on to flip out at another student for calling him "Mister" instead of "Doctor" and then threatened to kick me out of class when I asked where he did his residency. That kind of thing stops affecting you pretty quickly.

[WalnutButter]

That's funny. When my cousin was in college, he called his professor by his first name, because the professor called the students by their first names. He flipped out on my cousin, and from that day forward, he had to call my cousin "Sir." And he did.

OK, ok. You don't want your personal opinion to be put down. I get that. But there might be a few personal opinions that could be "wrong."

Like, having sex with children is OK. Raping women is fine. All democrats/republicans are idiots. Mustangs are stupid cars... The first three are definitely wrong. With explanation, as in the engine is too small, too slow etc.. Well not STUPID, but below average...

So, it might be according to what your opinion SAID.

[WalnutButter]

Another person who didn't read past the title. Good job. lol

[Screenwriter]

I read your entire statement. You said you gave your personal opinion on dating. Person disagreed and said you were wrong. You didn't give the details of what you said, but in his opinion, he felt that what you said was wrong. Remember, he's entitled to his opinion of what you said.

I don't think it's best to say someone's opinion, except in rare cases, is wrong. You have to disagree with them. That's polite and rational. But people are often not polite nor rational.

[WalnutButter]

"Like, having sex with children is OK. Raping women is fine."

LMAO

[Screenwriter]

Extreme examples are often clear...

[WalnutButter]

And I gave examples that were not extreme. You gave the stupid extreme answers to make people think you're smart. What's your favorite color? Tell the truth or I'll call you a pedophile.

[Screenwriter]

What does this matter? You can call me a pedophile all you want. I didn't give those answers to make people think anything except there ARE SOME wrong answers. And that people can call an opinion you give wrong. It's not polite to say so of a mild opinion difference, but simply a disagreement.

[DextroShade]

It depends on the opinion, because some opinions are wrong. Opinions like "My favorite color is green." or "My favorite food is sushi." can't be wrong but opinions like "Men have it so much easier than women." can be wrong and this is case it is wrong.

[WalnutButter]

You gave an example of something that is NOT a fact. I like Coke better than Pepsi, and that is a fact. If someone disagrees, I just ask that they not post over my opinion. Why can't they just post their own opinion?

[Z1pTD]

Honestly I could care less. If they're so opinionated they forget the difference between subjective and objective right and wrong than they aren't worth my time.

[WalnutButter]

I don't care, but I just don't want them posting their reply over mine.

I like poodles. I don't give a rat's ass about people who hate them, but I just don't want to be included in their hatred.

My opinion was that the Internet set back dating, big-time. Some guy told me I was wrong. I'm not wrong, because it's my opinion. I know women who've been on the same dating site for 15 years, and can't figure out why it doesn't work.

It really is very simple. In the online world, women go for the hot guys. In the real world, the hot guys have no "game." They don't need to develop "game" online. So the women pick the hot guys, and get humped and dumped. So who do they blame? Do they blame themselves? No. Do they blame the hot guys? No. They blame ALL GUYS. lol ALL guys used them.

But the Internet is so very easy. Just log on. You don't need to do much else. That's why it doesn't work, and that's my opinion. lol

[Z1pTD]

Yeahp lol

[LiamJHayden]

Common on this site, just like people assuming all kinds of things about someone from a general answer to a question.

[WalnutButter]

It's just makes them look stupid.

[exitseven]

I have usually embraced the unpopular positions my whole life I am used to this

[WalnutButter]

You are wrong for having a summer place on an island.
You are wrong for liking dogs.
And you are wrong for wanting that Mustang. (or was it a Chevy Camaro? Either way, you are wrong) LOL

That's what I mean. I think Biden is a train wreck, and I will gladly debate it. But when people ask me if I like Sushi, I just tell them that I do, if it's breaded and deep fried.

There's only one opinion I will argue with. That's people who don't like bacon.

[exitseven]

I would never own a foreign car. And living in a moonbat state and working in higher education when I put a Trump sticker on my office door theirvlittle heads just explode.

[andreasderjuengere]

Such responses actually CONFIRM my points of view :D

[WalnutButter]

I don't know what that means.

[andreasderjuengere]

It means that I'm not an opportunist.
We can't expect just everyone to feel pleased with our own opinion/s.

[WalnutButter]

Well, my favorite color is blue, and anyone who disagrees, is an idiot. lol
But there are no shortage of idiots.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Not at all. That is their belief and it is stupid! Also I'm already crazy :P

[BLP11520]

Only if they are an ass about it

[WalnutButter]

Someone asked what our opinions are on how to make the site better. I gave a list of about 5 things, and some guy said I was wrong. What? I wasn't speaking for anyone but myself. I listed 5 things that would make the site better for ME, not HIM.

It doesn't matter, though, because from now on I'm just deleting and blocking people who are that stupid. If you say you like Coke better than Pepsi, only a mental midget would argue with you.

[BLP11520]

Right

[WalnutButter]

So basically I don't care what people write for their own opinions, but just don't post it over my opinion.
