Show some respect......... it's the least you can do!

Moral of the day! If you don't agree with someone's opinion, just be smart about it and don't be rude! Respect others opinions just as they did yours. Especially, if you want them to continue respecting you and your opinions. Do not try to change their minds. Especially by force feeding them videos, links, tagging them, sharing posts, etc.....etc... First, you won't be successful. Second, you will look like a kid doing that....who didn't get their favourite toy or someone who can't take difference in opinions. If the matter is so important to you then like I mentioned before, be smart about it and persuade them through debates and by talking! But never ever try to shut someone's voice. Just like you, they matter too! Do not force your opinions on others By being forceful you will only validate their beliefs and opinions! (Photo by Pixabay. Edited by Me.)

Everyone can voice their opinions If I don't agree, I won't try to change the persons mind or anything - I'll leave it as that & vice versa

@yugocean Nope I don't argue even if I don't disagree. Some people have different views. But I have before on a stubborn person who was claiming they're right when they're asking a question.

@infatuatedbby So, you prefer "agree to disagree" approach.

Everything has gotten way out of control with that lately. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and it should be left as that. I don't agree with plenty of things but I respect people enough to also respect their opinion.

@LovingMyBabies Very true! Sometimes people can be annoyingly persistent and overbearing even though you are done with the argument and have "agreed to disagree". It is a definite flaw in my book.

It is something that I never try to do, but I am sensible to arguments from others and able to change my mind... except when I am right.

@topffer The ability to accept and change when you are proven wrong or are presented with facts that make you re-evaluate everything is a good quality. That means you are open to learning!

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Everyone is entitled not to agree with someone else's opinion. Everyone is entitled to tune out those who try to change their opinion. Simple as that.

@amandajay Nah! Nothing happened. I was just wondering about people fighting over Trump. Respectfully disagreeing and debating I can understand. But I do not understand calling each other bad names and telling others to "go die" or"go kill yourself" So very bad abusive language too.

@hereandthere LOL! No, not here. Not personally at the least. I have been reading and seeing people going hammer and tongs over the whole Trump thing here and facebook. So, I thought to remind them about respecting each other and respecting opinions even in the midst of it all.

@marlina If only some peeps are satisfied by that. If only they understand that it is okay to have different opinions. I get irritated when anyone decides it is their life goal to change my mind about things

I definitely agree with this. People seem to force others into their opinions instead of allowing others to have their own opinions. People see things the way they do due to perception.
