depends on the douchebag I am expressing my opinion to
If I am dealing with a mature human ,then both of us understand there are 2 sides to every story ,and normally the truth is somewhere in the middle .
Both may make very valid points ,neither right ,neither wrong and these people can normally recognize that other party is just as convinced in their beliefs as I/you are and thats what makes a healthy society work ,both can see things totally different ,but they can still not only respect the others opinion ,but you both can still find common ground and get along ..
But if the other party is an immature arrogant jerk ,who is determined I see it their way or no way,my beliefs and opinions don't count ,they already loose
Its not about winning or loosing
How you were raised is a factor ,personal experiences ,cultures even race all play a part ,you can't force someone to abandon everything they believe just because you don't see it that way.
But thats is the thing that makes democracy over communism work
Every individual is entitled to an opinion ,a voice
regardless if you agree or not ,their views and opinions are still just as valid to them ,,and if you attempt to take that away or silence them
You have no clue how democracy works ,,your the one who is ignorant

@SW-User just because that's true, it doesn't mean I care to hear people's thoughts on a weekly basis. I understand people have differing opinions. It's just that some people try changing my opinion, which is possibly impossible. They still don't stop! I try playing music through my headphones, but my boss thinks that he should turn up the volume on this radio. He's old, so I guess his hearing isn't as good as mine, but I can hear droning voices echo pass my songs. It's not a good way to change my opinion and drives me further away from his understanding. He's just a douche!

@GuyThatEvery1Seems2Hate Maybe, be direct and tell them what you think.

@GuyThatEvery1Seems2Hate I do not know all the facts and circumstances so I would be ignorant to give an opinion based on the little you have said .I can offer a story based on a few points ,most people would not even take into consideration ,
On my jobs ,when we are cutting ,materials like sheet rock ,expensive moldings and trim ,custom wall coverings ,even tile ,,drilling a hole through a wall or floor
We call out measurements all day long
We have a cut man hearing things called out to him
and we have our own way of doing it as to avoid confusion
But if radios /boom box's are playing ,its hard to commit that measurement to memory or even hear it ,
When I hire you ,and I pay you very well for your services
I expect things done my way
Some music make me nervous ,some takes my mind off my job ,its a flash back to a memory ,and I am distracted
When your are in pain ,and songs that bring back painful memories are played ,,I can't function and I have smashed boom box's and tossed them out a window ,when a jerk said he didn't care what I was going through ,he needed his music to do his job well ,,so I banned it all together
And I can't get someones attention if they have head phones or ear buds in on the job ,
So where you work that may never be an issue
But as a rule ,my job ,my rules ,I do not need to explain why
You can comply ,,or find a job elsewhere
My opinion in this case is the only one that counts
I am paying for that privilege
