do you honestly respect other people's opinions?

Question

even when it is completely opposite of what you think?

Answer 1

Yes, so long as they don't try to shove their opinion down my throat. Otherwise, the gloves are off.

Answer 2

I do. I'm actually very open minded so when I hear others opinion and I agree with the way they see things...I learn to accept it that way. But when I see their opinion and their lack thereof any reason for it, then of course I resent it, but still respect it. I don't get brainwashed very easily because I'm so headstrong, so when I hear something I completely disagree with, I give a thorough explanation of why I see things the way I do.
That's my thought.

Answer 3

Always. A person might not see eye to eye with me but that doesn't mean that he or she can't be right. Even if I am convinced I'm right that person's opinion has to be respected and there is always something worth listening to in an idea may it be good or bad.

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

I respect the peoples right to have their opinions. You can't help if somebody is stupid

Answer 6

I try to be open minded but it depends on what the issue is, such as spanking a child, breastfeeding, etc.

Answer 7

I try to usually. Unless its about Marilyn Manson. Then i get vicious. My friends now know to avoid the subject ;)

Answer 8

I never respect their opinions

I will however respect them for trying to persuade me.

Answer 9

yes, definately.
I usually want to find out why one has their particular opinion. It is interesting to me.

Answer 10

Yep. Everyone is entitled to believe what they want. And who am I to tell them otherwise?
