I don't know how to start this discussion, because i don't know what kind of response would i get if this pops out. but it's true isn't and it's Okay for others to see. This is what I have come to realize in this kind of Social Networking Site, that's completely different from Others.
although some people complain about restrictions or asking if such discussions should not be discussed anymore..
Or other things like when this person is in your friends list and you realized he/she didn't constantly responding to you, and get upset some (because i saw this in other's discussion about friends not replying to their post).
Or doing something New but some really didn't get it and started questioning your moves or motives or they have other solutions for it, or the solution is there and you got carried away and it was too late when they reminded you..at least they did. 
Lastly, when a person starts a topic, whether it may be controversial or not, some tend to argue and continuously talked about it after a response is made.
I only conclude that People may not think they way You Do. and that's what i learned here. you may not see their faces(not all) but you can see most on what's on their heads. and almost every one..different..
I guess the only Solution i can recommend here..is.."Respect"
Have a Great Day

You used the right word, Letran: respect. Everyone is different. Everyone has varying opinions on just about every subject. The thing we have to remember is that, no matter what their opinion may be, even if it is directly opposite of our own, we should respect their opinion. Everyone has a reason to feel the way they do.
Problems arise when someone has no respect for your opinion and tries to force their opinion on you. They need to look up the definition of "opinion" because they make it obvious that they don't have a clue about the word.
Differing opinions are what makes this crazy world progress. If everyone agreed, we'd probably still be back in the stone ages. Personally, I love "brainstorming" and getting different opinions if I have a problem forming my own opinion over something. Seeing things through the eyes of others helps me to understand everything better.

yeah, not only they don't respect but also start bad mouthing the views that others has and that's how a heated conflict or a fight with hate begins. brainstorming should begin would little emotions or emotions should be put aside when you are being rejected. "crazy world progress" that's probably one of the reasons we had wars simple because it's another way for progress, although i find disturbing some times, i guess it's part of human aspect of life1 person likes this

Letran my compliments - you have a great way of getting yuor point across!
Whenever a user starts a discussion, whatever the topic, they should realise that this is a discussion site and not all the opinions will be the same as theirs. It would indeed be so boring if they were.
We are allindividuals and have formed our own individual opinions depending on many factors. Much depends on where we were born how we were brought upp and the financial situationin the home in which we were brought up in. The quality of the education we received counts a lot too. Last but by no means least is something which I am very aware of too. Those users who have never been outside their own country seem unaware that what goes on elsewher could even be better than where they happen to be living and how they happen to be doing and thinking things.
I spent half my life in one country and the rest, so far, in another and this has made me very aware that we are all so different but we ALL, each and every one of us, have a right to our own opinion BUT it may not be the best, or even the worst.
did you notice you can also see what I am thinking with my face?

What else is there to think rather than doing the same topics over and over again. at least i decided to generalize the whole different people view thing. I spent most or all my life here and since i can't travel anywhere i decided to get to know the world through this site. to my surprise, it has not disappoint me infact it has showed me how the world really is..no need cause you're always curious about things.1 person likes this

precisely! we all have our different perspective, different views. we also have different styles and different ways how to see things. we all have different ways how parents raise us and we all have different cultures, so that is why we all have different ways to think about certain things. i may not agree in a gew things that i read here but that is the main reason why it is called discussion. but i agree with you that some members kinakarir the discussions that ends up on saying hurtful words already. i have a friend here who even includes in his discussion the words not hurtful words please, for there are some who are using hrutful words that youcan be offended. i agree with you regarding respect. if that is their point of view then we dont have to start a fight about it. all we need is to respect their opinion. we all have our right with our opinion. have a great day too.

maybe i should put that reminder as well so that people would refrain from doing or saying bad or insulting words to other people. they sure like heating up discussion by insulting others in their wake.i agree with not starting a fight, we are all adults here and we are not youtube, we do have right..for every opinion

Yes, I find it interesting how emotionally involved people become on a social networking site. People get so angry with other users. Sometimes I disagree with what others say or do, but it usually does not affect me emotionally, however people need to realize that people on the net are real people. Just because you don't see their face it doesn't mean that you should treat them with disrespect. You need to understand that the people on here were raised differently. They may have different languages, cultures, religions... you name it. How can you expect people who are so different then you to see things exactly the same way. People need to be more tolerant, and like you said treat everyone with respect.

yeah, and it's unfortunate too that real nasty true evil nature of people also shows up in youtube comments, even though they're attitude in real time is different. i think with this way, we can really excell for the benefit of others too. it proves that dictatorship and communism really sucks.

WOW,LetranKnight!!!! 
If I could reach thru this computer and give you a big pat on the back, I wouldn't think twice about it. You are so very right and straight to the point. I believe people should not judge another on the way the think. So what if the guy or gal next to you thinks different than you. That is what makes the world go around. To each their own. Just be nice to the other and in the end you will see a kind deed coming your way. @LetranKnight25 (33117)

i really appreciate that rosepedal, sorry couldn't comment immediately here. i like it sometimes when a person is different than me, i learned a lot from that person and learn some thing from me as well. therefore, you both enrich your minds and hearts when you understand and be broadminded into other things that you never knew or understand before.. i will be..nice

Hi LetranKnight25, I learnt something from ur post. I came to know that my friends here might not be too happy that I am not joining the discussions started by them. Well, I will do something about it. After all what have I to lose. But that does prove that I am like some of them out there. U know something I used to read some biotechnology articles a few months ago. In that I learnt that there are so many genes in our DNA strands, and there are so many permutations and combinations of each gene. So when u have two different set of DNA strands coming together, each time it is going to be a new person. Problem is its true for the viruses and bacteria as well. That is the reason things like swine flu keep on emerging with resistant codes. But coming back to ur point. People do have different opinions. And it is nice because any discussion leads to more valid points coming out in open, which we may not have thought about. Its worth reading it even if u r not agreeable to it. Who knows, ten years down the lane u will find it more logical or u may be looking for a solution like that.

What are they so not Happy about? if they are sending you Private Messages about their discussions links and asking you to respond to them. this is my advice "we have the right to choose" the topics that we want to respond. doesn't mean they're on your friends list it does not mean you are oblige to do so.Well, NO you're not..it's your choice. frankly, if they do that to me, i put them out of my friends-list, that is abuse already. although some one did that to me earlier and luckily i got to tell her a few pointers and she gladly listened and. now she's aware of thing being done here. what you have read was interesting, hope you share that kind of topic in Biotechnology in the future.

Oh, thank you briar. I guess some people are us too passionate with their ideas that they get personally hurt when they are rejected or denied of an idea. oh, i know i did, but that was just one incident. am just glad no one criticize me personally, even that annoying user didn't hit me that hard

Yes respect. Everyone is unique, have their own style, own decision, of course if they had decided something from themselves it is good for them definitely. Me, I give my respect to anyone sometimes I don't receive the same treatment so i also give my understanding.

We meet people of all colors and creeds here and the way they project themselves truly paint the real person they are. I really don't understand why some people who just join in start to unleash their barbaric action to stir the community here. They don't seem to have the values like patience and respect which are very much connected with lifestyle. The swing of the pendulum has come to its extreme point having people showing no concern of peace and harmony to this site. They terrorized those who excel in words and thoughts without justification and their tongues are sharper then the sword. Looking at the results of their actions, the fruits are not sweet. They are no better than the beasts and should be disallowed in mylot. So now we say, Ah... but there should be respect, respect for life, for the environment, for all forms of life and definitely there should be respect for everything in the spirit of mylotting.

I think we should all avoid being a barbaric or simply let go of that anger because it's really is an attack to every one in the community. when a user is supposed to be thinking straight about topics then he/she suddenly get distract with a person of hate or instability. i hope he has earned his lesson. i am not sure why he didn't get banned but am sure it's a new start for him. and yes, respect is the only idea for every one's view to get along1 person likes this

hi letranKnight you are so right.we all have a right to air
our own opinion and to respect those of all other mylotters
we can discuss and agree to disagree as long as we respect
each others opinions. we must not flame each other or callnames
as that should have gone out with grade school games. I
think maybe we should all remember the golden rule,its
golden for a reason. I would do unto others as I would have
them do unto me.

Being so Open-Minded Lately,Letran? i guess you weren't always cranky when ever you are mylotting late this evening..i believe you, this has always been the problem with the world because of so many different opinions and ideas that causes wars and conflicts. but If we have at least a little "Respect to each other" maybe the world is a bit of a better place. am glad you've come a long way in such a sort time being back at mylot.
Keep em coming... i think this is better than just being a self-proclaimed police of mylot1 person likes this

not really, it seemed something came out of being an late night sleeper.well, if this was a problem then no one would be expressing ideas at all, but sometimes the problem itself is a solution and respect is the only thing that makes that differences problems a solution. well, am still taking to this role but not bragging it.

you know i noticed about you, lately, you're changing, your views and other topics seems to a bit differ from all the other users, except to some oldies that i have seen sometimes. but you surely trying to point out something almost every day and rarely put topics that are relevant with the others.
that's true we are all different recipes of creation but we are all the same in blood as the human race. even with those who do harm like what i did, they still spout some differences and opinions.
I see it now, i hope i can make some difference myself and hopefully learn more from others.

Yes "Respect" and "open mind" I would say. I spent a lot of time reading discussions before I add a comment, I enjoyed each and every comment since this is when we are voicing our opinions. I have no quarrel with any comment whether I agree or not, however, I do not appreciate personal attacks or abusive words. So let's have respect for each other with a open mind :-)

yeah, those to words are the only barrier that can keep others from killing and slicing each others throats.when if those two words aren't present, then that's when the personal attacks and abuses begin.
