I don't understand if someone disagrees with you and is rude.

Hi there... I respect it that other people have other opinions and views on certain subjects.. I will say that I disagree, but I won't get rude or so.. Have a nice day ^^

there are instances where i disagree with other people's opinion but i never tried being rude to them. i mean, they are entitled to it. we don't think the same. we're individual. i just think that rude people show how uneducated they are. for me, if you can't control your anger / emotion, just stay away. if you can't say anything good or at least tell us why you disagree in a nice way, don't say anything at all! just to be clear.... IT'S JUST MY OPINION! No offense meant... :)

I agree with you on this and , yes, it can be frustrating. There are some people out there that don't seem to realize that a discussion can actually mean that there are people who may express different opinions. Further more, those different opinions can be a way for us to get exposed to new ideas. Now, if you don't like those new ideas, fine, say so by offereing another opinion. But to get rude and take things personally shows a lack of undersatnding as to what dialog is.

nanajanet I am with you on that. just have the courage to put' down your opinion and someon jumps down your throat here being really insulting. I thought we were all supposed to act like adults and be respectful of each others opinions here. I cannot understand why they must do this, so you disagree fine, that is your right, but it is not your right to call me stupid, or ignorant or other insulting names b ecause you disagree. that is so patently childish it is totally absurd. they need to be tossed off here for acting so childishly.

I disagree with you. I don't like to talk about politics & religion type discussions. Because politics is controversial things. And religion is now a days tool for some people. Some people use the misconceptions about religions as their weapon. So being rude to those people is the right thing i think. As i have also been rude to some people who is trying to spread false about my religion. So if you want a resoulation then stop talking about these things totally. Don't wait to people get rude & then take action.

You are so right. I mean can is it so hard to respect other's views? Is it extremely ego-crushing that they will resort to being rude?

Been there and have dealed with that too. With a site as big as MyLot your bound to get some ppl like that. Most of the time I post my response and keep right on going...sometimes if I'm in the mood to really discuss something I'll reply back to them if the comment on my post but otherwise I just keep on going. It doesn't get anyone anywhere to fight with each other and no one is going to listen to the other persons side of the issue if your calling names and acting like an idiot. I hope your day improves and don't let it get you down. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

I had someone just last week respond to my response to a discussion someone else started telling me I was stupid for saying what I said. Those type of people need to be reported so that myLot can keep an eye on them or ban them.

I have to be honest. I have gotten mad at others because I did not like their opinion on something. I have been guilty on that part. But I have came to relize that everyone has their own opinion on things and you cannot get mad at them for sharing it. I think no matter what people are going to be rude regardless.

Nana, You are SO right! Some people will never realize that we are all allowed an opinion. I often wonder why adults can't act like adults and just : agree to disagree and go on with their lifes. It's so childish to call names. WOW, look at our so-called educated Politicians - what are they doing? It's a sad situation when gossip and the anger toward anyone that doesn't believe as you do has to always hit the media!

i just come a crossed this day before yesterday and i had just lost my mood on mylotting. there was a discussion where the person asked about his earnings and i think as he mentioned he use to writ and he gets 1 cent per post and i just tried helping him and i replied to him telling that its better if he try to write the discussions and not the post and then he can increase his earnings. tell me have i stated anything wrong ? in return that person replied me back telling that i have written a disgusting response to him and i am trying to teach him the difference between the post and a discussion and he had written to be carefull and not to write this once again. i was just so surprised and remained stunned as i had not meant anythng to hurt anyone and i just tried to help him out in his earnings and the reply i got was really horrible and i thougt that i should never reply to the discussions like that. people ask a question here and are not ready to accept the answers. if they know everything then why they have to state a question. i really cant understand. i feel mylot is a place where we can get answers to our question but i wasnt knowing that its also a place to get scoldings.

Funny thing but I have actually been thinking about this same topic but focusing more on my words than on others. I am fairly new to My Lot and politics is one of my interests. One of the reasons I joined My Lot was to see what people were saying and thinking about politics in the States, rather than just going off the news. When I first started, I tried to focus on the issues and respect other people's opinion but I was getting so mad at some of the things I read and I must say I slid into the mudslinging at the end. People I know (personally know), would consider me as easy-going but I must say, the political talk on My Lot has brought out my bad side. The last time I commented on a political topic was about 5 days ago. After I posted it, I immediately wished I had toned it down some. I have logged on to My Lot almost every day since then but avoided commenting on the political topics (I do read them though). I am sure in the future I will be back to commenting on politics and I will try to control my anger/frustration with people who I think are wrong. I never thought I could get so angry at people who I don't even know. Crazy thing is that if I was to meet them in real life, good chance I would genuinely like them, even if I am on the opposite political side of things. I don't think they should be thrown off of My Lot. For me, it is a great way to see how other people are really thinking about the times we live in - no holds bar. In addition, who knows, some people just comment on topics just to post another response and get their two cents or whatever the payout is for a post. Anyway, in closing, I am sorry if I was ever rude to you.

I completely agree with you and it really angers me when people do that. Someone posted a very heated question on here as it related to politics. He asked why all white people were racists and were afraid to have a black president. I responded to him telling him that I disagreed with his statement and listing the reasons why i as a black person disagreed with Obama's politics and was not voting for him and telling him in a respectful manner that his comments were actually came off as racist and he verbally attacked me in such a rude manner it was ridiculous. He said something along the lines of "we don't want the opinion of people like you here. white american thianks you for making it okay to be racist. why don't just shut up if you dont have anything usueful to say." And there was more too. Even the other people participating in the discussion commented on how rude his comment was to me. I just dont understand why some people insist on being nasty just beasue someone disagrees with them. I thought the purpose of discussin boards was to discuss things. Not just get a bunch of responses back saying that they agree with you. And to have civilized diasagreements, not full on verbal attacks becasue someone disagree with you.

Well most people do that. If someone dont agree with their point of view then you will be disregarded..and most of them are nasty. This majority of people dont like to be criticized...According to the great author Norman Vincent Peale..dont criticized..since most people dont like it. If your opinion is different (but without criticizing the others) then it is good to stand in your view. But remember this...80 percent of the people are selfish, dont like to criticized, like people to follow their point of view. You are may be part of the 20 % of the rare people.

Vent away! Everyone needs to now and then. Unfortunately, whenever you deal with a large group of humans you must encounter every type. From the decent, polite, and respectful to the rude, abhorrent and obnoxious. In my opinion, the rude have their right to say what they will, in whatever manner they will. I will just choose not to reply to them in a similar manner.

Well to be honest I think some people are actually threatened by opinions that differ than their own. These in my opinion are very insecure people who have to prove they are right all all costs. but what actauuly happens is they come off looking like vengeful fools and then no one takes them seriously. And the ones who are thre nastiest it seems are the ones who are on the losing side.

Ya it happens with some people. They are the victims of their bad past. Such people takes out their frustration by abusing others. They think they could undo their bad past by becoming rude to others. It is psychology which rules the world. You and I can understand them, but not many and will go for fighting with them. If we can understand why they behave like that, fine, just avoid them. Thanks for starting a meaningful discussion sister Nana. Lot of love from Japan. Happy myLotting!

Oh I do feel for you, I know where you are coming from, sometimes when people responding to my topics and I don't agree with them, I gave out some points to why our views are different but I never did say negative things about the poster. it is a very bad idea to make things very personal. you can just say, oh i think you do have some point but I think that etc etc. I hope these people you are talking about will learn their lessons.

Nowadays you really encountered lots of rude people. Sounds like they never teached by thier parents a good manners to react and how to comment nicely. they are more violent in using words and always talking stupid things. I think they need guidance and counselling to straight those croaked behavior.

You cant really avoid those kind of people. I have encounter that too. I guess they just cant accept it that everybody has its own point of view. The best thing to do is ignore them and dont waste your time arguing with them. They are narrow minded and they wont even listen to your side. They always think they are always right and they wont respect other peoples opinion at all. I dont stoop down to there level and i feel theres no point explaining my side to people who chooses not to listen at all. Wither they are right or wrong they will always stand for what they believe in. Sad but true...these kind of people exist.
