Some people are religious fanatics, unfortunately. Others believe that only their opinion/religion is the correct one and you aren't allowed to think any differently, sorry this is me also ranting. You're absolutely blummin right!

To some point of your question, I agree. I don't like others attemping to force thier beliefs on me. But, just listen anyway.They mean well, but do not realize what they are doing. But from a standpoint of their beliefs, they are doing what they think is right. Just grin and bear it.

Truthfully,we're all hypocrites and critics because most of us don't know how to properly conduct a mature discussion or debate without the use of attacking others.\nEven though this is a Q&A forum still I don't expect to find any legitimate answers to anything in here so that is why I normally goof around and collect my two points on this site.

There are a lot of closed-minded people in the world. They want people to hear their opinion, but don't have time for others. It really is a shame, because its not just "everyday people" who act like this, but politicians - all across the spectrum - that do as well.

you're asking for an opinion right now! I guess the "do you like" questions are pointless, but a lot of good, valid questions do require an opinion. All the religious questions for example are opinions,I have my beliefs, and I'm sure you have yours.

Because people like to force their views on other people.

I'm the type of person who truly believes in people respecting the privacy of others, and in minding their own business.\n\nI, too, have read negative comments on various cultures and religions, and some of them are very cruel.  I would  prefer to learn about the activities of others, rather than go with negative thoughts about things which I have no knowledge.\n\nWhat's making it hard for people on this site, is that they are made to feel that they have to "defend themselves" from all the negative, and bigoted questions and answers.

I think you should respect all opinions, regardless of whether you deem them correct or not.  I think you should try to explain to people why you feel their opinions are incorrect.  Back it up and let them know you find their arguments flawed and/or offensive.  Many people are misinformed and not knowledgable about many areas (this includes myself).

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.  They can say what they want, and so can you.  You are not the only person in this world, so you are not going to get what you want.  So quit b*tching about it.

It's an opinion of people. really you can't prove that there is only one god nor can you disprove.

You're an enigma of sorts as you have no fear in voicing your opinions. Too bad more people don't share your point of view. Life would be easier if we could all be as accepting.

Right now, it's jealousy.  Yes, some people do actually hate other people because they differ on opionions.

The problem is not with you, it is with those who interpret your question in a wrong way. Some answer positively and some do not. So, why do you think this is so? It just simply shows that people have different interpretation on how questions are being raised. But I think you have made your point but don't expect that it will change everything because there will always be a different understanding and different opinions.

Well, isn't asking questions like you ask a way of looking for debate? I happen to agree with your viewpoint, but when I see a question like "Why can't we all be good Americans & just support our great President Bush?", I get pretty hot under the collar myself. People like to argue, and hope to somehow "convince" you that you are wrong. Human nature. Keep asking questions, not just here, but everywhere.

Ya, but look at how many good positive answers you got to the same question. In this world there are positive people and negative. That is across every group of people.

It's because those people are too ignorant to even form a question.  Also, they believe so ardently that their opinions are correct, that they don't believe they need to question if they are correct.
