Most of the time i find it pretty interesting, but it depends on how they challenge my views. If they say "that's stupid" then i would wonder how they could say it so carelessly. I don't really become defensive when it happens, maybe say "really? That's how i feel though, how do you feel?" But if they tell me nicely i would want to understand them, i find different views very interesting.

@anastasia200102: yes. I won't even discuss something with anyone who starts by calling others stupid or ignorant, although I may well be ignorant on certain topics, most people who use the word aren't saying you are ignorant of the facts in this case,,they are saying "you are ignorant"
They are not worth talking to.

@Hanging2: if we are discussing my OWN emotions, or feelings about something or someone, there is no grounds for anyone to challenge me. If it's theirs, I just let them spill it out. If they are talking about a third party, I opt out of the conversation. No one can tell me how to feel about anything. They can tell me why they don't feel the same, but they have no right to tell me I shouldn't feel that way.

Just a tip say "I think" before saying something like that. It will let someones defenses down and it will not sound like you are stating a fact that would challenge them right off

@Firespirit: I tend to poke around in people to see what makes them tick. How can we grow our thought processes if we dont constantly challenge the boundaries and the premises that they are based on?

I don't bother conversating most of the time, the outcome will always end up with no change regardless of who has a more sound argument and back up

@BloodlustSona: Once the person has jumped on the moral horse then you are right. They will become deaf to everything.

@justmerae: Good response

It really depends on how they go about it, what they are challenging, and my mood.
