Quite often we enter into arguments with others on some subject ..may be general or persaonal.We may agree or agree to disagree depending upon the subject and the person involved in the argument.We stop the argument and shift to some other subject.This happens to all of us.Some times we agree with the person for various reasons though we know he is nt correct.We agree to avoid further arguments or may agee as the other person will take things pernally and get hurt.Sometimes we agree as we know that the other person is very adament and will not stand to reason.So for vrious reasons we simply agree with the other person knowing fully well that he is not correct.For what reason do you agree with other person though he is wrong...?

I don't like to agree with others just to save an argument. That is not being true to yourself. I only agree if it is something that I believe in. Everyone is entitled to their on opinion on things.@chayapathys (2111)

you have a very independent view of the matter.Some agree to please others, some agree due to fear,some agree because of the strength of the opponent,some agree with greed and some agree to avoid further arguments.What ever it may be yours is stright forwrad without fear or favor.I appreciate your stand..

No. I do not agree with the opinion(s) of other people simply to avoid confrontation.
In life we should have a stand on certain issues, and not be like the weed which bows down in the direction of the wind blowing. Allowing a person to not be exposed to a different viewpoint can be considered as a crime. One reason is that by agreeing we are giving the other person that he/she is infallible. In the long run it can lead to vicious ideas and statements.
When things get too hot we can always back away, and let the other person simmers in his/her thoughts. At least we will never be blamed if something went wrong to the other person's life.

As you say why should we bow down when the other person is wrong.That not only gives a feeling that he is right and also a feeling of defeat for us.When we are right as we know we can stick to our stand instead of agreeing.How does it matter for us if ther person is hurt or wounded in his feelings.Gradually he will realise that he was wrong and we are correct in our view.This is life and we cannot pleae every one always under all cicumstances...
