Lately, there have been a plethora of threads where someone expressed an opinion and then came under fire for that opinion. Almost immediately, because of the overwhelming opposition, they take the defense of "I guess someone can't have an opinion around here".
![]() Sure. Anyone can have an opinion about anything. Each person's opinion is as valuable to them as the next guy. Everyone thinks their opinion is correct and should never be questioned....But this isn't real life. Whenever you state your opinion, especially in writing, on TBH or anywhere else on the world wide web, you should be prepared to defend it. I don't have to agree with your opinion, but there is no harm in questioning it or even disagreeing with it. If you don't want the opposition, then maybe keep it to yourself where it doesn't need defending. It's childish to think that one could put their opinion out there and not have people with an opposing view comment on it or question it. That being said, I can typically disagree with someone without calling them a dumb ***.....I mean I don't, but I can. ![]() ![]() ![]() My Dad has a saying about opinions and excuses...."they're like *****holes. Everybody has one and most of them stink". So have an opinion, everyone should have an opinion on each and every subject, but if you state it then be prepared to defend it and if you cannot, then your opinion is probably not based on fact or actual circumstances. Your opinion is not sacred ground. Neither is mine. Having an opinion doesn't make you above reproach, matter of fact, stating it invites reproach....get used to it. ![]() |

Why are you telling me your opinion of how I should state my opinion? My opinion is just that my opinion but your opinion is just wrong

Not my proudest moment. Normally I keep it together pretty well on the GS. That may be my first name calling infraction. Hope I can be forgiven ![]() That said, I couldn’t agree more. The right to express opposing views is what makes this country great, amongst many many other things. But like you said, be prepared to defend it. Just cuz you say it, doesn’t make it true. |

“I guess someone can't have an opinion around here".

Sometimes this place has more drama then a group of teen aged girls. I only know this as I have 3 daughters that were teens, but it's just my opinion.

These people you speak of are living rent free in your dome. It's the www. This place is the only form of social media I participate in. Love it. great p!ace with mostly helpful people. most of the time I appreciate differing opinions. And a healthy debate but When it's stupid it doesnt deserve this sort of attention. Of course this is just my opinion

Some folks on here think if its their opinion then everyone should just take that as fact. When actual facts don't bear out what they presented they have to start getting butt hurt instead of reconsidering the facts as they are presented. In not sure if I'm talking about this forum or congress. |

As someone who is a slave to logic, with an almost overwhelming gag response to hypocrisy, I have to say that yesterday’s threads were anathema to me.

I have always enjoyed opposing viewpoints. I enjoy listening and learning. I'm also combative naturally. A person's belief has never told me the whole story. Watching people and their actions has always been more important. I have seen wonderful people do wonderful things without believing in how I conduct myself and lead my Family.
I have learned as I have gotten older that I can have a heated argument/discussion without calling yo mama fat. Good people do good things. |

If I posted what I wrote, before I deleted it, I would have made Pope and Young 14 years ago. Wise words to remember.. You were born with two ears and one mouth, there is a reason for that.. Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt Ignorance an be corrected, stupidity can't. Words once spoken (typed/texted) you can never get it back. #1- The truth should always be known but seldom spoken. This is a Public Forum and anything you ever post is digitally saved. Some might consider that before they post. It is amazing how much this forum has changed over the years. Threads today are allowed to go way too far for way too long when years ago they were stopped and deleted very quickly. But that is just my OPINION. |
