Would You Consider Posting In myLot A Type Of Debate? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. KrauseHome (8369)   ranked 22 out of 4,517 in debating7 months ago

Personally, I love myLot, but I have seen a lot of different issues on here that I know can go a lot of different directions and the problem is should I post to them, or should I not? Sometimes I think we are afraid of hurting someones feelings if we in turn say something wrong to them even if we did not mean too, and have someone want to leave here. I know personally I am one of those.

But isn't this the Truth in life as well. I have seen many here post that we should all leave Religion, and Politics alone even here in myLot. It could stir up a Debate to where others may want to seek revenge on someone just because they do not believe the same way. Personally I know for a fact, my views are different than others, and since I am a Christian woman who believe in God, I know there are thoughts I have that may stir up a debate if I ever discussed them with most of you on here.

So what are your thoughts, and are there some subjects, etc. that to you are touchy, or would be Taboo for you, or would you be willing to start a Debate even if a lot of the people on here did not agree?

You need to re-read the guidelines here for myLot. We aren't allowed to bring up religion, politics, etc. so check the rules first before posting or you will get deleted & lose money also..Lori

If we are not allowed to bring up religion, then why is there a topic for it? That frusterates me, lol.


myLot reputation of 98/100. chapcity (996)   ranked 3,222 out of 4,517 in debating  7 months ago

Thanks dumbInddzzy I didn't know that, not that I would participate in those topics anyway, they get too heated.

I just read the discussion guidelines and it doesn't say anywhere we aren't allowed to discuss politics or religion, and as some one else pointed out, if we weren't why is there a category for both of them?
It just says we are not allowed to be abusive to each other which is only right as that's no fun for anyone.

I've seen many discussions on God and various
religions on the pages of MyLot.

If such discussions were truly against MyLot
terms of service, then they would have been removed
long ago. Yet, they remain, so they must be OK.

Most times, MyLot frowns on critisizing other
people's beliefs. We don't all share the same
beliefs, but we can live harmoniously on this little
Planet, we call MyLot!

Don't listen to the nay-sayers.

If you love God, then profess your beliefs and find
others who feel the same.

Best to all
Be well.

It depends on what we're talking about. I mean there's nothing contreversal about shopping or groceries, but politics and family can bring up stuff definately.

I don't mind debating. I don't think its bad what so ever. It lets people let out emotions through discussion, and out of all the people on here, someone is bound to agree with the topic they are for or against. I think that religion is probably one of the most touchy subjects on here, or anywhere for that matter. It also a touchy subject for me, even though I am not very religious. I don't judge people because they do not agree with me or believe what I believe, so I don't mind talking (or debating) about religion. I feel that if someone dislikes my opinions or beliefs so much that they throw a huge fit over it, it is entirely their problem, not mine.

I am not afraid to voice my opinion on some touchy subjects. I have made comments on some hot issues, I have had to apoligize also for hurting someones feelings. I do think you can have a debate just as long as people are friendly and respectful about their feelings and opinions. I do tend to be very careful about some issues, I don't want to stir up any trouble or hurt people's feelings.


myLot reputation of 89/100. zhuxia (170)  4 months ago

That's very good,i agree with you.
mylot is a public platform.
We can't too care who said some you don't like or agree, or it must lost its meaning.

One time I posted in here and someone called me a child abuser! I was so shocked. I think that the discussion was about spanking and I gave my opinion. I made sure after this that I never replied to this users discussions again.

If you don't want different opinions, then you have no business starting discussions here.

I know a ton of people who have left this site because there are so many that can't accept others point of view~ they are rude and nasty, so people don't want to be here anymore.

I don't really do debates, because instead of staying friendly thy usually end up with some folks arguing and it may cause the thread to get deleted. I certanly don't want to get into a Christian debate, because no one ever sees eye to eye there. To me it is a waste of time.

 
7. myLot reputation of 72/100. drknlvly6781 (2353)   ranked 1,107 out of 4,517 in debating   7 months ago

I would definitely post in any type of debate that I would find of interest. There are touchy subjects that most people wouldn't think of debating, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. If I can participate in a civil and respectful debate with you about opposing opinions, I may learn something, and the other person may too.

I give everyone this chance, so if I do run across one that becomes offended, or tries to offend me, I thank them for their time, apologize for any hurt feelings, then leave the debate as such.

I wouldn't care if people agreed with anything I said, the thing I love about this site is that I have the right to request an intelligent answer as to why I am wrong!!!

I guess I have tough skin, opposing views have never bothered me.

Hmmm, the last discussion you posted to you had 6000 post, this one you have 5999. You lost a post somewhere.

As far as this discussion, I tend to steer away from controversial subjects, for one I don't want to lose ratings or post. And usually I just post to discussions that don't take a lot of thought because I don't have too much time to respond to discussions.

 
9. myLot reputation of 98/100. chapcity (996)   ranked 3,222 out of 4,517 in debating   7 months ago

I have seen some topics turn nasty and it does stop me from participating in some discussions. It seems that sometimes people can't respect others opinions or agree to disagree even.

 
10. myLot reputation of 82/100. rohit0471 (168)   7 months ago

if a user posts a discussion, to which another person may have a varying opinion, then it could well turn into a debate....
