Many people want to be right and to convince others of it., and if they don't or can't, either bear hostilities toward another or look down on them. If your question was really open ended, you wouldn't have your own answer ready already. That's leading the question.
I have my opinion, and you, yours.
That's all from me. Ciao.
I asked this question hoping to make people more aware of there flaws, hoping a few might open there eyes to there own ways and change (as much as I doubted that I would succeed).
True that young children do not often know enough about something to have there own opinion, so they will listen to first opinion given to them by an adult and take it as fact.
It is in the next stage of growing up that we learn to question what we know, if we dont question our own beliefs, we never grow up, simple.
I question everything I say and do, when someone explains an opinion and makes sense, I change my opinion, because what might have been true 10 years ago, might have no relevance today.
And when I see something with certainty, I often have to see it from a different angle to see one very small flaw.
MY anger by the way is directed at Sodahead for asking many questions that opinions have no relevance to (such as "who talks more, Men or Women?"), I have already complained to them and as they refused to even respond (when I caught them making a contradiction) I wrote a nice letter to the American Senate.
"Hopefully" in 2 or 3 years time this site will be banned, making way for better ones.
Children are open to real learning because of their developmental stage. Adults are different and have already formed much of what they will believe throughout life whether it's environment, experiences, genetics, etc that have made them what they are. It's one stipulation to why many adults actually become more conservative as they get older.
For me, ideally, life would be about learning, but many people simply choose not to, and you can't force anyone to change. They have to want to.
SodaHead is a business, and allows their users a lot of freedom to to place blog polls. They can choose how much they want to control, and haven't so far. It may not be right, but that is how it is for them. People post those blog polls because they can, and SH isn't the only one who does this. Yahoo and other sites do it too. It generates traffic and business which equals money.
There are sites that are more selective than here, and I'm sure you can find one to your liking if you seek it or perhaps create your own. In the US...

In the US, because of freedom of speech ( and the press), there be few who truly wish to control their bloggers' material that much. In other words, I doubt that SH will be banned unless something really horrible happened, but then again, that's only my opinion.
I can always be mistaken. Just like anyone else, no human being is perfect, and no one will ever be right all of the time.
I am much the same, I urge people to express themselves appropriately so that I might understand there view better, I am not closed off to anything as I have no emotional attachment to anything, if I am wrong, I just need someone to explain why I am wrong.
Unfortunately people get frustrated, but I know a simple truth, words come easy when they are true, so if I find myself talking to somebody who ignores half my comment, only responding to parts of it, I know I am wasting my time.
Indeed, the problem comes when people attempt a red herring or ignore half the post. what they are concentrating on is the things they know rather than what they don't. once that point is reached then it just turns into a YouTube argument when actual and honest discussion is impossible.
I just want to see more people listen, I have seen change in the general public opinion of people (mostly for good, seldom bad), it is just very frustrating that it is the opposite for individual change. I thought people were stupid in mass and smart on there own, but it seems the internet provides us with an opposite.
I couldnt disagree with anything you said in the second paragraph, I think we need to establish a better system for debating, something that rewards points for answering everything and asking good questions (respectfully would give added bonuses) and maybe little trophies (achievements like win xbox 360) for helping someone see the metaphorical light, sounds good enough to me, what say you?
The most logical explanation so far is that "it is fun" :/
Do people really feel ashamed in front of a screen? Incredible, yet its staring me right in the face
It would be that no one seems to listen to basic logic, or perhaps they are very dim witted, I am not sure which would upset me most.
My response was based on the many polls posted that are "loaded." You know, where one is forced to answer contrary to their honest opinion just to participate. I rarely respond to them.
Yeah, I always make sure my opinion on the matter is very clear, still it annoys me that I have had to vote for the wrong choice.
I think it portrays real life voting, its not like we get the best choice there either.
Example, a dark figure walks into a quiet town, we are to assume he is evil and that is not to be trusted, it is probably best that we take offense before he has the chance.
A lot of movies point this out, but cant seem to get the message heard, so American masses continue to be brainwashed.
I do not judge American people, for me to assume an American is going to always be what I predict them to be would prove I too am brainwashed, I am just aware of when people are under the influence of a Stereotype.
"People spend anything from 20-80 hours (average) in front of a TV or computer screen a week, of course it has a considerable impact on our behaviour"
