Answer 2

Yes they call this a free country it's even in the Constitution. We have the right to think, beleivein what we want. Isn't that the meaning of a free society/country? of course but there are those idiotic people who want to stuff your head with 'theyr believs'. I think people need to mind theyr own bussiness & stop trying to convert. When I moved to where I'm living now the first couple of Sundays these Johova's witnessess cknoked on my door the second week the same so I bought a NO SOLICITING sticker put it on my door they havn't knocked since.

Answer 3

most definately, and they hate on you for being an atheist!?
its crazy just cause i dont follow a book of stories and i dont believe in god doesnt mean im a crazy freak, and i cant stand election ads, there not even promoting the candidate anymore, its hating on the oposition, (i live in canada so the 2 main parties are PC and Liberal) the liberals suck, vote consvervative :), thats what the ads basically are
i cant stand it

everyone has a right to belive what they want after you have made your decision they should try and sway you, in polatics you decide who you think you and to be lead by, and people should respect your decision and not try and tell you that you are wrong, same with religion, people are entitled to believe, or not to believe, in whatever they want to, they shouldnt be sway just because someone keeps telling them to change relijions or that their religion is right and your is wrong (this is why most of the wars were fought, over religion, racism, predjeduice, and not liking differences

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

Not at all! Unless you ALREADY know everything you are ever going to know, then if you think about it, it's kind of silly to hate hearing other people's points of view! You don't have to agree with anyone, but it's just sort of dumb not to try & understand WHY someone might hold a different view to your own!

Answer 6

depends - I love a good debate. If somebody starts trying to tell me something that is opposite to what I believe, I will engage them in a debate. Once in a while, my views are changed. Other times, I change their minds. Quite often we end up in an impasse. But I never shy away from a good debate.

Answer 7

I listen to everyone and give them special consideration and attention. Most of the time they wont change my mind because I am secure with who I am. But you never know where your next life lesson will come from.

I hate to be rude, so I listen, smile, and go about my business. It is hard to offend me because I know exactly who I am in life.

Answer 8

The world now a days wants you to be on their side on what they think is right. I hate it when they do that too. Just agree or say okay and then they know your on their side (when your probably not) and they will shutup. Because, if you dont , youll start fighting.

Answer 9

They can talk all they want. No one has ever convinced me to change my religion or politics. I usually counter with something like "Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs or whatever". Then I walk away or yawn. Sometimes both.

Answer 10

YES.

I don't like being told what to do. Basically, if someone tells me to do anything, I do the exact opposite. I wouldn't read Dan Brown's books or the Harry Potter books forever because my college roommate kept telling me to...and I was like, "I'm not going to let you tell me what to do!"
