Is it hard for you to deal with points of view that are way different from yours?

Not at all...

Ofttimes, it's all that is available to practise upon.

Not at all. If I wanted to be with someone that thought only as I do, I may as well hang out with a mirror. Opinions never bother me, some attitudes do. Most of the people I'm around are open minded people and we learn from each other all the time.

If you want to see your question in action (on the no-tolerance side), go to religion and spirituality. Whew! lots of them are extremely polarized and vitriolic. For instance I got a violation and my question removed for 'not being a question'....someone didn't like the different points of view being expressed. Here's my Q "That's why, isn't it?" What else could that be but a question? Very frustrating....think I'll steer clear of that snake pit.

a million. Gina 2. that's the classic spelling 3. Gena. I hate the spelling Gina through fact in case you placed the letters V and A in front of it you get vagina. The jokes in no way stop. 4. i might actually desire an elementary exchange. it would be lots much less stressful for me and everybody else to get used to. 5. i admire having an I in my call on the grounds which you may dot it with a coronary heart or something lovable, yet i might particularly or no longer that is spelt Gena. i do no longer think of i might ever exchange it although, BQ: in case you desire to alter the spelling, pass forward. I frequently want classic spellings yet in specific situations i think of a popularity could be greater actual mentioned with a diverse spelling so it would be better to alter it extremely.

No because I respect others' point of view. If ever we have differences from each others point of view, so be it. What is very important is the learning insight I got and the moral lesson it brought.

Yes - though I am accepting of different POV's.

For example, my one friend is completely radical on a lot of situations (anit-Wal-Mart, KFC, violence, etc.) It is a way of thinking that I was never introduced to when growing up - all the way up until I met her in college - and although, like I said, I am very accepting of her radical POV's - it is sometimes hard to deal with it. You want to keep her as a friend - and yet God help you if you shop at Wal-Mart, because she'll get mad at you.

Only against the lazy. They stand behind their "views" only because otherwise they would be exposed as simply unwilling to get off their duffs and clean up, or get to work, etc. They say that their standards are different, but are in fact envious, and thus don't deserve consideration.

If they are clearly wrong, then yes. People can say whatever they want as long as it isn't lies. I hate it when people think the "opinions" of lairs ought to be heard. There is a difference between opinions and statements of facts that can be proven true or false.

No, Everybody Has Their Opinions and Reasoning...!!

If I'm Smart, And Listen; I Might Learn Something...!!

No indeed! I play 'devil's advocate', and take their point of view, and side, then start saying,"What if........this were to happen......taking your side, of course!"

Yes, I know that 'devil's advocate' is supposed to be the opposing viewpoint....I do nothing in a rush...it 'evolves' into the opposing side...which they agree with, not knowing they have switched sides.

No I absolutely love it, makes for good conversation. No one is right or wrong in thier own opinion. We all have reasons why we believe what we do, if you listen to someone elses opinion you might actually learn somehting.

i understand that not everyone will agree with my point of view, and i have no problem listening to what they think and believe, but it does become a problem, when they become pushy or they are just looking for a fight
