I'm OUt Of Here

Personally, I'm not that bothered if people don't agree with me! As far as I'm concerned we're all entitled to our opinions. Why people have to 'bash' each other over such things is beyond me!

I dont think its people getting upset about someone having a different opinion. I think people are getting upset because the other person is being disrespectful to their opinion. I feel like some people find the most sensitive things to debate about. Then they debate about it disrespectfully and when it blows up in their face, they throw their hands up in the air and say, "Its just my opinion bro!" Well, its good to have your opinion, but that doesnt give you the right to throw quick jabs at the other persons either. I have seen some good debaters on this forum. And I have seen people out to just talk shit. I say no names. ;)

Watching does give one a bit of perspective in situations where those who are more actively involved sometimes might lack objectivity.

And again, I agree with Ron... this site was a loving community, but there is a change happening.

True, it would deffinately give you a different perspective. But not much of a chance to build relationships. Giving and sharing opinions, ideas, jokes and experiences is a way of making friendships. Im not saying that how you "do it" is wrong. You do you. :)

Debating's good, just so long as it stays a debate!!!

Exactly. The only way it can stay a debate is by RESPECTING others and their opinions. Im not saying Im good at that either. Im just as bad. But I recognized the problem and kept my butt out of those discussions.

I think alot of us maybe need a break. I have noticed what you're saying too. Lately everyone has been a bit more jagged and edgy. But rather than fighting or separating, I think we all need to sit back, remember why we're here and move on. Forget about what was said, the arguments. Forget about the debating and get down to loving each other again.

Well, debate is fine, but when some wants to make a counter point, the counter point shouldn't bash the actual person who's making the original point. Also, when that happens, I think it's human nature to want to defend yourself, so now the person is being defensive, then we have Mom bashing and country bashing...well, I digress, but I think most of can agree that that makes for some pretty poor debates and some pretty poor relationships.
 
I think it still is a loving community. There's always going to be some at loggerheads with one another time to time and there'll be the ups and downs.

Because peeps get heated in debates or other stuff where issues concerning one another are concerned that's not to say that generally the loving is not there. If anything could be because people care more so we tend to get involved. That's cool.

At the end of the day, peeps (generally) cool themselves and settle back in again.

If you check back in past times I'm sure you would find instances well of falling outs and passionate exchanges too.

Well, I think it just comes down to the golden rule. Most of us forgot it. Shit, even I did. But the only I can do to help this forum heal is spread love and positivity and thats just what Im gonna do. ;)
 
agreed boomer if we all stop fighting and think what the other feels maybe we all can get along. i like alot of you people on here and want to get to know how the other half of the country lives. maybe if we all get along there wouldnt be arguing and it would be a nicer place to be.
