Are you confident in yourself enough to allow others to have their own opinion?
... that's a hard one for me.

I don’t really think I have any say in the matter. lol As the world becomes more volatile and people more addicted to outrage every day, opinions that were once debated (often with a sense of enjoyment) have become beliefs that, when not shared, determine one’s enemies. Those folks scare the bejesus outta me, but with those who aren’t radicalized yet, I enjoy hearing their thoughts.

Absolutely. There is so often more than one way to be right. Thye trick is to avoid being wrong.. And in the case of stupid things, like believing gravity is optional, sometimes the best you xab do is detach yourself from these people. But you still have to allopw them to qualify for a Darwin award. Thats how nature evolves..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I have read many of your comments (on this site) and you are never argumentative. You are fact based and unemotional 👍
I must admit, I enjoy a healthy debate. Even if I am wrong (and I often am) at least I learn from it. So many people I know in R/L are either not interested in a conversation with opposing views or they are steadfast in their beliefs - even when they have been proven wrong. I hope I never get to that point. You have to stay flexible - which I am finding difficult as I age.

Yup...,
Over the years I've learned how to dismiss people as if they were an unwelcome fly at my picnic.
Most times a shooing is enough to free me of them.
Other times it takes a a smack or swat to let them know how little their opinion means to me.
Fuck 'em !

Depends on the opinion. If you think pineapple pizza is okay, and I think it's an abomination, we can have play arguments about it, but I really dgaf. If it's your "opinion" that people who refuse to get vaccinated and basically serve as incubators for the next mutation of COVID should be allowed to do so, I don't know what to tell you.
