For me, I do think that there is right or wrong in conveying opinions. It could be bad or good, as long as it is done in a constructive way. How about you? Will you insist that you are right, even it contradicts to the opinion of others?

we are entitled to our own opinion, i think there is no good or wrong opinion, sometimes we can say that some opinions are contradicting, but its how the way to understand the topic or anything, and we cannot insist our opinion to others, because for us, our opinion is good, and for the others its not.

Of course there is nothing wrong in sharing opinions but then there is a proper way to argue without being disrespectful and not attacking the personality of the other person. Such is important,

Diversity is the Key to Excitement. It would be a very boring World if we all agree with each other. As long as is done in a constructive way. I could never live in a country where I'm force to be like everyone else.

Opinion may be right or wrong. So anyone can give their opinion. It is normal to debate to defend one's opinion.

I don't see anything wrong with exchanging of ideas as as it is done in a pleasant and civil way. Plus, there's no wrong opinion, it all depends on a person's perspective about things. I love sharing ideas and opinions because that I could learn a thing or two with them. I could even form new ideas based on their opinion. I would insist I am right if I am confident about my ideas/opinion, but no to the point of humiliating the other person. I would rather argue it with him or her in private.

We could not always force ourselves to others. If they prefer to stick to what they think is right, then it is their choice. The important thing is you were able to convey what is in your mind.

For some people, they don't used to bend for such reason. We just need to understand them.

Yeah, maybe you're right. But if one person does not really think that what I said might be true, I wouldn't force it down her throat (unless she is telling me that I killed someone!)

After all, this is a "discussion" site to encourage the sharing of opinions...be they right, wrong or indifferent! I have had my opinion changed on many things here, because of the "eloquence" of the responder! If they make good and valid points, presented in a non-confrontational manner they have given me good food for thought! I don't think, hiding behind a computer in the cyber world, that gives me anonymity...and allows me to be rude and disrespectful. I liken it to my walk thru real life....and like to present my thoughts in a manner that will give me respect for my opinion!

An opinion is just that. It is not necessary that an opinion agree with facts as seen and accepted as same by everyone. The whole idea of opinion gathering is done only to see how much we are in agreement with most thinking people, or to see if our opinion or an opinion is shared by many people. But sometimes what happens is one fails to realize that ours is after all an opinion, and gets too fixated on that- such a person could be called opinionated. That is where, the "fight" or "violent disagreement" begins. Though there are some areas of thinking that evoke such feelings in me, often I am even-tempered.Even if it contradicts the opinion of others one could politely hold on to one's opinion if one feela it is important.

I don't think there is anything wrong with having an opinion, but the wrong comes in when a person tries to shove it down another person's throat. Can say exchanging an opinion leads to explaining why a person feels that way. I don't think that is wrong. It might be a person just needs to keep an open mind and see it from other peoples perspective. Not that it would change how they think on a particular subject but to open their eyes a bit more why others feel that way.

I do believe that the opinions that we tend to have are as unique as we ourselves are. For that reason, I really feel like we should be comfortable in sharing our differing opinions with other people. However, I do really think that there is a right way of doing it. The right way of sharing your opinion is just to state your opinion, but it is wrong if you try to force your opinion onto other people just because of the fact that is the view that you have.

Sometimes but most of the time I like to hear what others have to say. I am set in my ways with a few things but don't mind hearing other people's ideas.

Well I think that an opinion is just that..being right or wrong its ones opinion..and I do believe most people who gives an opinion do believe what they are saying. It could be right or wrong but thats what they believe..Its different when you are in a conversation knowing that your input is just to start controversary..thats call bullsh&ting not an opinion...

For me, There is no Wrong, in opinion, Each of us has own belief in life, and each of us has Different Opinions in Life, Opinions are based on our what we understand or experience in life, There's no WRONG in giving opinion cos OPINIONS, are SELF EXPLANATORY,

opinions are comments of other people on the said topic.no matter if what they say there is no right and wrong in their comments becauseiit is their insight on the discussion.it a personal opinion so i think we are notin a position to say it is right or it is wrong since each one of use have their own perception.

Hi Shavkat: I honestly think that almost any opinion could be shared if we do it in a polite way and being respectful to the other's points of views. If we can't afford to hear other people's opinions we became intolerant. ALVARO

Hi, When we ask any advice or opinion about something, we may agree or disagree with it. But we can't force others to change his opinion because everyone has his own opinions and feelings. Every person is of different nature so he may have different thinking. If we like the opinion we should appreciate it but if we don't then we can not criticize it.

Usually when we said our opinion, we will always think that our opinion is right, even though isn't necessarily right. But I think since it's called opinion, so there is no such thing as a very right opinion or very wrong opinion. Everyone has their own opinion which they think is right for them. So we must respect each other opinion.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in sharing your own opinions as long as you know your boundaries and you are not stepping on other people. You are right that it should always be on a constructive. In a way that you'll share your views to let the other party realize his/her mistakes. It should never be in a manner that you just share your views just to let other people down. In my case, if I know that I am right, of course I will insist it but you know not everyone is open for accepting that they are wrong. In that case, just let it be. As long as you are right, then that's enough.
