Do you stand true to your beliefs or do you bend them to be accepted?

Question

So....when you answer a question here do you usually say what do you really feel , what you really think, or are you one of those "politicaly correct people"...who just likes to be accepted in this whole mass of hypocrasy?I'm just sick of all those people who just say what everybody else says..or what everybody else wants to hear,.because they hate a "thumbs down", because they like getting a "thumbs up"..and because ...they are afraid to really speak...i'm not afraid.
Even in everyday live...i hear so many "i said that..but i really think this way, not i've said". So why?why going with the masses...when you feel differently?Why not stand for what you belive in..even if the rest is not gonna agree with you?Abd we can also say..that the rest may be wrong

It's a vey serious question, Barbwire

I know the fable......put if everyone would just bend everything that they belive in...we would be in some big trouble....and i was not thinking of Hitler when i've asked the question. That's an exception from the rule...the fact that he was mad.I'm talking about society in general

Answer 1

some ppl are confused with a few of my beliefs....i dont really give a **** if i come off being "p.c." or not. im a VERY opinionated liberal : ) i believe in what i chose to and i make that very evident in my every day real life, so ill be damned if i bullshit all over the place to please a bunch of random people i meet on the internet. if you agree with me thats awesome and if you dont...well in the wise words of kathy griffin...." Everybody Can Just Suck It" : )

Answer 2

Believing is a little bit dangerous when you shut the door to new knowledge. Hitler believed in his cause strong enough to carry it till his grave. Do you know the fable of the weed and the oak old tree? The weed bended with the smallest wind, while the immovable oak stood proudly, trusting its roots stuck to the ground. But a tornado came, and the weed bended as usual. The oak old tree, however, came down with its weight. Bending is not always a sign of subservience, but wisdom. Of course, I mean bending to evidence.

Answer 3

i stand true to my beliefs. getting a thumbs down isn't going to change my life. someone gave me a thumbs down for what i thought was a good answer and i got a thumbs down on a best answer.

Answer 4

I try to answer honestly, even if goes against what everybody else thinks.

Answer 5

If it's a serious topic, then I give my true opinion. If it is a silly or funny question, then I try to give a funny answer.

Answer 6

I'm pretty strong in my convictions and although it usually doesn't happen, my mind can be changed, it would just take a lot.

Answer 7
