why do people disagree?
345302
People disagree because they have their own personalities.

Why do you fight? What do you fight over?\n\nPerhaps you should be the one to compromise first

People fear what they do not understand.  Often it is the folks who can't find a reason for their problems presume that things are different for them because other people are 'different'.\nBut this is a simple answer to a complex question.

I can't answer that, but I know you seem to be right.  I try to keep my opinions to myself in public, because I know I cannot be pursuaded to another belief, so why argue?  "They," however, seem to like to get into disagreements and arguments, and I don't give in.  On here, however, I love commenting on some of the silly answers given!  Too bad it isn't like IM so we can discuss some of these things further...

If you ask a question then you have got to expect different responses to it...just because some ppl have a different point of view doesn't mean they are wrong..that's just life..there are more important things to worry about than some ones response to a question..

While that's a noble ideal, it is human nature to disagree.  Everyone has their own set of life experiences that helped shape their beliefs and the priority they give different aspects of life, including those that intersect with the government.  Also, for the intellectually lazy, it's simply easier to demonize opponents instead of addressing their concerns and engaging in reasoned debate.

When it comes to issues like the war......some people really take offense on both sides, and there is occaisonal violence.\n\nRemember the civil rights struggle? People exercised their freedoms....and were attacked!\n\nThis is a free nation, and it's sad when there is a hazard while exercising freedom!

Most people don't mean it when they say "hate."  They might dislike something about the other, they might not like what the other did, they might have said something they regret...\n\nRemember, "There's a thin line between love and hate."

I agree with you. People get so angry and frustrated that others don't follow or don't believe the same. Live life to the full, what does it matter if you do or don't 'believe'. It's your own personal opinion, just respect others who choose not to feel the same way as you.

Heh, love how you end you "why can't people get it" question by stating you just don't get it.\n\nJust because you believe something should be a certain way doesn't mean others will feel the same way.  If they believe opposite enough it doesn't matter how articulate you are because they just won't care.  Not everyone will agree and not everyone will respond intelligently, this is just a simple fact of life.

People don't like to appear ignorant and so will post to get the 2 points even if they have no idea what they are talking about.\nNever let the truth get in the way of a good 2 points seems to be the motto of this place.\nWhat worries me are the people who can't tell the difference and are accepting answers from people who have no clue.  \nKeep up the good fight

Some people don't like anyone who is different than they are in any way.  This includes race, religion, sexual preference, national origin, etc.\n\nSome people fear what they don't understand.\n\nSome people come from a family where prejudice has been handed down from generation to generation.  Unfortunately, they don't even understand why they don't like something.\n\nSOMEDAY I hope we can all learn to understand and accept each other...

some people just love to argue. they want to be right. even if you say they are right, they argue that you're "Just saying that so we dont' fight" ...and then suddenly you're arguing over that. although if it's a woman doing this, it CAN be b/c of hormones...if they aren't normally this way....so keep that in mind too.

Opinions are like assholes.  Everyone has one.\n\nTheir personal opinions don't bother me.  Everyone is entitled to one.  What bothers me is their need to put down something they don't agree with or don't understand.   That is wrong.\n\nDisagreeing with a religion is perfectly alright but to condemn that religion because it doesn't dovetail with your ideas and ideals is wrong.  Those who kill others because they don't agree with their religious beliefs are sinners of the worst kind.

because of their inability to understand and/or appreciate viewpoints that are different from theirs. they argue for two reasons:\n\n(1) to show you that you're wrong\n(2) and to show you that they are right\n\nclose-minded people do not understand and do not compromise.

People are passionate in what they believe in.  Some keep their responses inside of them and some become defensive and call names.  Some even go as far as killing others, for example 9/11.  \n\nPeople that call you names are obviously not your friends, no matter how much good you see in them.  Although they are passionate about their ideas, they do not realize that everyone else is passionate as well.  So they fight back by calling names since they know that would hurt you a bit. \n\nContinue speaking your mind.  There are millions of people out there.  Some will agree with you and some will disagree.  Be passionate about what you think and don't let others wear you down.\n\nGood luck.  ;)
