In the forums just lately I have noticed that some peoples opinion or words have had an impact on how others think. There are people that have openly admitted they might think differently in future about something because it has been discussed in here.
Do the words of another have an impact on how you think?
Has something someone said changed your opinion of them?
Has someone said something that has made you think in a totally different way?
Is there a way you can make someone change an opinion?
Or are you so stuck in your ways nobody’s opinion really matters?

What is your opinion?

I think the way some peole present their side of a story or relate their experiences provides food for thought for a lot of us thus enabling us to reform our opinions based on facts related from experienced people......
*Makes sense in my head anyway* :lol2:
*Makes sense in my head anyway* :lol2:
lol all im gonna say is yes it has made me see things different as in the things i do, however, this doesnt mean i change my opinions if that makes any sense, there are things i will no longer do, as i never really thought that deeply about it, ie parking spaces. not sure if this makes any sense at all but hey lol i know what i mean
My opinion of people would never change because of what they may post.
My opinion may change if a person was openly nasty to people in this forum, I cannot abide that.
I hold my hands up and say I've often re thought my own opinions because of what people might say, my thinking challenged and I like that actually.
If you like a person you like them, that's not going to change because you disagree with something they've posted, it it did you'd end up not speaking to anyone!

Aren't opinions your own way of weighing up all of the options and all of what you know about the subject at hand and then making an (hopefully) informed choice in what to say....
As you read more about the said subject, it very well may open you up to other ideas or points of view that you hadn't thought of (everybody thinks differently, well I like to think so), so then you may adapt your final statement.
Information, learning and the ability to re-evaluate the situation are all important in being open minded.
Personally, I don't give a rats left testicle what people say in the forums or in the chat rooms. I love a good debate, or even an arguement (if playfully done). I even go against my own beliefs just to make things interesting a lot of the time and stick by them like they were indeed what I thought. Try it sometime, it can be lots of fun.

Only to cause problems and not practise their skill in debating. They teach it at schools so why not continue to practise in later life too?

Yes, some posters have a knack of making me see things from a different angle, often in a positive way.
Quote by Theladyisaminx
Has something someone said changed your opinion of them?
Not here. However, a couple of people I had no opinion of previously have caused me to form one from their posts here, or their posting style.

Yes, more than once:-)
Quote by Theladyisaminx

If they are open minded and/or if you have a convincing argument backed with fact rather than just opinion then it's possible IMO:-)

I agree. I consider myself to be a person with strong and firmly held opinions. However, I am not arrogant enough to keep the blinkers on and stick to those opinions if other people say something that enlightens me. I know I am not the oracle on everything!
I love being challenged, mentally stimulated, kept on my toes. Debate, difference of opinion, diversity... wouldn't life be boring without them?!

:thumbup: Right! it's just a shame when we're challenged we're challenged by the 'almighty' ones and posts dissected into little cut and pastes!
I'm very forgiving actually, but I think some aren't in here - shame really cos we're only put on this earth once.

For a short post this raises a lot of questions:-)
Who are "the 'almighty' ones"? Why is it a shame when they challenge things rather than anyone else? What are you forgiving of?
It's unusually politically incorrect of you to state 'we're only put on this earth once' when several belief systems think otherwise:-)

Steve.I actually hadn't thought of it that way about the different belief systems... my fingers just went AWOL
But like I said, some challenge things more than others

just because some people believe things,doesn`t make it true,so why should we change our opinions or the way we act to accomodate that belief?
As well as wanting to express things out loud to others I am also here to learn from others say.
I want to read and take part in diverse discussion but nothing abusive and bitter, as whatever our differences we can surely share them in a level and broadminded way.
I may take other viewpoints on board but I have values and beliefs that I hold dear and here's to an SH that's caring, funny, sexy, supportive, tolerant, zany and loving rather than one that argues over the very stuff a lot of us come on here to get away from!

I will answer my own questions!
Do the words of another have an impact on how you think?
If life the words of another always makes me think, not just in the forums but in every day life. I believe this to be the art of conversing it is a two way thing.
Has something someone said changed your opinion of them?
I think we are always making an opinion from words people say, I don't change an opinion of a person in what they say, I just change my opiion in the way they think.
Has someone said something that has made you think in a totally different way?
I think part of life is living and learning, to keep the mind open to change your own opinion must be good. It shows that you have thought about someones opinion and it makes sence.
Is there a way you can make someone change an opinion?
I think you can! It is in the way that you conduct the conversation you can disagree with someone without insulting their opinion their intelligence or themselves. You then have more chance of having their attention.
I know if i felt I was being insulted I would have lost the respect to reason with someone, so would not value their opinion.
Or are you so stuck in your ways nobody’s opinion really matters?
Not always. I keep an open mind of some things and have strong views on others.

if you`re presented with compelling evidence that your opinion is wrong,does it make any sense to hold onto that opinion just because it`s yours ?

I see where you're coming from AJ, but I think if the evidence is there and it is compelling isn't it more noble to admit on that occasion you were wrong? I would, I don't mind admitting if I'm wrong.
