Why Saudis don't have an opinion and are complete slaves of the King? We Greeks are leaders to ourselves?
Because they are islamic parasites.
Why don't people like the name Therese? (Your opinion)?
There are two people at my school called Therese, and they have other names (Faizee and Ita). That's how everyone knows them. Someone at my primary school had a secret middle name that sounded ugly... it was Therese. SO WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE THE NAME THERESE?!?!?! I DON'T GET IT!!!
Do my opinions matter?
Self-Doubt is dangerous. Your opinion in YOUR life is the most important! Personally, I myself am not a fan of that show but there is nothing wrong in watching that. Despite being a BTECH student I enjoy watching children shows like Pokemon and i am not ashamed of it. Because there isn’t anything to be ashamed of. You are your own person and your friend is different than you so instead of worrying about your opinion you should try not letting her opinions dominate your choices.
How do you respond to "well that's your opinion"?
That kind of depends on the circumstances, and the way in which the statement is made.Case 1: A professional situation - say a meeting on what approach to take on a project, or on a decision to be made - in which you’re a key person in making the decision, and/or will be seriously impacted by the decision.If the comment is made dismissively - as in “you don’t know what you’re talking about, this is how we’re really going to do it” - then you push back, with facts (assuming you have them), or at least with “it’s my professional opinion.” If the person is dismissive to the point of being insulting, then you might push back harder (I’ve been known to tell people where to go in such situations - sometimes a wise move, sometimes not, depending on who’s in the room and the politics involved.)Now, if you’re over-ruled - by someone senior to you, by majority opinion, you might want to make a strong statement about “I want to be on the record that I disagree.” (As in “I’ll do my part, but for the record, there’s no way in hell that we can meet this artificial deadline.”)Case 2: A personal discussion about something that doesn’t matter - say a political or religious conversation, in a bar or social situation - then it’s up to you about whether to push back, or let things slide. It kind of depends on how much you value the relationship (do you tell mother-in-law that she’s a moron, or do you nod politely?), or how much you’re willing to deal with a violent outcome (do you tell the drunk in a bar that he’s an asshole, or do you let it slide?).
What is your opinion of Don Aslett’s books on cleaning?
Don has sold over 3 million copies of his book Clutter’s Last Stand. His philosophy is this: Learn to identify junk and clutter since you are the one who has to live with it.Be honest about what it is doing to your life.And then he gives a series of tips and strategies on practical dejunking if that is a word.If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend it. In fact, buy a copy and keep it as a reference guide. It will be a great investment for your learning library.
What's your opinion about men wearing speedos?
My friends and I went to the beach the other day and we were surprised to see a few guys wearing speedos. Some of my friends find them attractive. Personally, i don't really like them, especially when you can clearly see the outline of the penis.. I just wanted to know what other women think about speedos.
Why do people ask for your opinion then get mad when you share it?
People are funny.A lot of times when they say, “What do you think?” they fully expect you to agree with them. And are shocked and offended when you don’t.I think negotiating these sorts of questions boils down to knowing the person who is asking. Are they looking for agreement or really probing for your thoughts?When it comes to “How do I look?”, especially if they are happy and excited, they really don’t want to hear, “You look like shit. What happened to your hair?”It only takes a little observation to tell what someone is really asking. Sometimes what they are really asking is, “Will you tell me I look great, please?”
How should I respond to my parents when they tell me opinion doesn’t matter?
If that’s people’s opinions about you don’t matter listen to this advice (it will make all the difference - you will not be crippled by what other people say about you and your choices, ideas, decisions, opinions).If the message they’re sending you is shut up, nobody cares what you think (have to say) don’t listen to them. If they told you that your opinion is unimportant it only means to them your opinion (what you have to say) is unimportant.Don’t assume that it is unimportant in general (your parents are not Gods to tell whose opinion does and whose opinion doesn’t matter - their words are not that powerful, although such comments made by parents often cripple people for years or even entire life).Don’t assume that this means that you should keep quiet.Don’t assume that you are worse than them or other people whose opinions are important to your parents. It’s only their opinion about you (that you don’t have anything important / interesting / valuable to say). People’s opinions about you don’t matter.
Why should I respect other people's opinions if they're just wrong?
Because 'being right' is very subjective. We are all different and depending on our social background, education, experience, and circumstances we hold different opinions. Just because you think you are right does not mean that others are wrong. You just have not seen life from their position.Source: Google Images
