What makes us feel we need to share our opinions with communities and the world?

People put signs in their yards stating who they will vote for, people go online to debate/argue about the same.
Politics, religion and just about anything under the sun... people will argue about it all and even resort to be rude, insulting, etc.... and yet, it never makes a real difference in anyone's life.

Why do we feel anyone really cares about our opinions? (unless they are like minded)

For some reason, my mind turned immediately to sports, and the way people go nuts supporting "their" teams.

In the same spirit of semi-fanatic loyalty, people will support their religion, their political choices, and so on.

@4meAndyou Yep. I once was given a jacket with a sport team logo.
I wore it to go grocery shopping once and had a man get nasty about it because he doesn't like the team. lol
Maybe we just need to keep such stupid things to ourselves. I
I didn't even get what he was mad about until a daughter explained it... it was just a jacket within reach when I was leaving.

@SW-User Wow. Intense, and you're correct, (at least as far as sports goes), stupid.
