i'm not sure what you meant by your question towards the end there, but i do believe that you shouldn't necessarily go with a decision based off emotion alone. now, some things you already know your decision, and are emotional about it...and that's fine. but definitely have the facts right there with you.

You're right, few know the difference between believing in something passionately and being a f--king zealot.  But everyone's actions do affect all of us, so I understand why it angers people who think they've nailed the solutions and nobody listens to them.  There's also a pretty big problem with people remaining unwiling to even acknowledge the flip-side of any given coin, even if for no other purpose than to understand your own views better.\n\nAs for internet users, I hope everyone else realizes that this is not the way to spread serious ideas or engage in meaningful discussions of topics with no real, finite solutions--  I mean rapping a little here and there about $h!t is all good, a few remarks to get each other open, but nobody's solving serious problems online.

I believe it is. A wise man once said "it is better to be happy than to be right." When we get defensive, we have some inner need to be right. If we're confident in what we believe, it doesn't matter to us whether or not others see things our way.

I completely agree...sometimes there are things that affect our feelings regardless of what we do, but for the most part, it is the way you view the things that happen.  Sometimes it's hard to remember this, but you are completely right...positive attitude=positive day; negative attitude=negative day. :)

I think it is because we tend to dwell on the negative comments that are made about us by taking simple statements much too personally.  One of my favorite quotes sums it up best:  "He who angers you controls you".    Sometimes we get so consumed with being angry about an action or a statement made by someone else, that we constantly think about it, we ALLOW it to bother us, and we naturally react in a negative manner.

Because human beings are driven by emotions as well as logic.  We see that all the time in this forum -- people hold to their beliefs out of emotion, rather than subjecting them to rational analysis or accepting such analysis from others.  In human evolution, it is virtually certain that emotions came first -- if the lion is approaching, you'd better run.  Also, doing truly objective work is damnably difficult -- even with a genius IQ, I have had to spend decades to get satisfactory answers as to how to proceed, and most people simply have neither the time nor the intellectual horsepower to approach objectivity.

I hate to say this but I hate it when one person speaks for all. ALL WOMEN are different the same as all men are different. I am a woman who looks for the sensitivity in a man as I appreciate that. I do believe as a society we have come to look at emotions as being a weak thing but I don't agree. I can agree with self resolve though too. The answers are within and we must seek to find them. No one is an authority over us so why run to other people as if they are.

not at all, I believe that if you don't like something, than don't read/watch/lookat/etc it. Just because you don't care for it doesn't mean someone else doesn't as well.

the truth is no one cares, is always easier to believe what the TV and newspapers tell you and to take any fools word for true than to actually think, investigate, and make your own opinion\nAlmost all different thoughts, beliefs and life stiles have the same problem; welcome to my world.... it sucks

No, these views represent lazy thinking.  These issues take serious thought and often require years of work to do.  In a political climate, people want immediate gratification, and bombing seems like that shortcut.

Not really. I think people may be a little quieter about their opinons than before because people may feel they are racist, but I think most people still feel the same way about the situation.

Couldn't care less how people would feel about me. . .but I would not want to be bothered with the politics.  It's a tough job & you need to be a very dedicated soul to do it.

Who cares what they think?

Almost everyone "feels" or believes there is more to life than what we naturally experience.  For the underclass and those otherwise removed from mainstream society, this feeling or belief becomes their strength, and often it is shared with others the same way you and I might discuss politics or the markets.

Yes I do. But don't believe in pushing my beliefs on anyone. Feel that everyone has their own choices on what they believe. And respect that. As I like to be respected. :)

Ithink thats a matter of opinion not an actual fact.

No. Simply because others don't agree with you and harrass you about it won't change most peoples views. Look at politics.
