To form an opinion on a topic or issue I believe the following!
By reading newspapers or watching the news is just an item or report based on that one person’s interpretations of that item or topic.
To gather ones own opinion is to question and listen to others views research such issues see whats happened before, gather facts from all sorts of resources only then in my opinion can we gathered enough facts to form our own opinion.
But I do find a lot of people are unable to gather their own opinion as they believe totally what they have read, or seen by a couple of resources.
But there are a lot here that have an opinion but keep an open mind, we read what others say and think.
I like to think others can help me change my opinion as we don’t know all the facts and sometimes what people say can make me see something in a different light that I haven’t thought of before.
We all form our opinions in different ways and we are all entitled to do so.
How do you form an opinion?
Are you open to change you opinion?
I jump to an immediate conclusion and then spend as long as possible debating the topic, before sticking to my original uninformed conclusion. But then, I am a High Court Judge.
I give it the Brian Clough approach ... i sit down, take in all the views, talk about it, then everyone agrees my view was right all along !
Based on my own experience of the subject.
I make no apology for having an opinion.
Oh thankyou very much for the PM Deecee. I was very tempted to put your comments in this thread but I wont.
I also wont bother sending it to admin either. It just goes to show that you are obviously not used to having to answer for your comments.
But if you do have anything derogatory to say to me, why not just post it in the thread?
Am not going to comment any further,as some really cannot see a joke for a joke.
Deecee,
you are being personal and that just isn't fair. I share many of your political opinions but being offensive and unreasonable is never the way to share your opinions. Unless you have met kenty, basing your opinion of him on his posts is as one dimensional and unfounded as the opinions you say he has.
You are out of order.
Splendid we both know where this has come from. He has made his case very clear, and I am really not bothered what he thinks about me. I said what I said as a joke, and then he used the previous thread, to attack me.
I can handle that, this is cyber crap. What I do not like is someone then taking it a step further by pm'ing me away from the forum. He had also something about not replying in a minute, but using that time to think about his comments, well talk about not doing what you say you are going to do. :shock:
As for going down to my level, come and join me...it's nice and warm here.
Dont appologise Deecee, as it is not sincere,and if you cannot debate without slagging someone off, then may I make a suggestion and not post.
Of course this is always only my opinion. Also I do not hold grudges, and I hope Deecee we can put this behind us, and continue to discuss and debate and sometimes get a tad angry with each other, on other threads.
