I know where you're coming from. I'll be honest I was the same way. And then I realized that I can still have my opinions, share them with people who familiarize, and debate with those who don't. But I can do this without being a total asshole (which I now admit I was at times) and condescend the beliefs and values of others. I now appreciate people with different opinions, simply because they challenge mine and allow me to make sure that what i'm thinking is right, or change my opinion to make it so.I find that a lot of my friends find me to be to critical of stuff, but I like to say that I have specific tastes. I'm bluntly honest when it comes to things, and a lot of the time that means saying something sucked. And for me, it's true. I can't fake liking something.
Nah, I can appreciate other's opinions. Generally my opinions are just that, opinions. So there isn't a right/wrong. You have yours and I'll have mine. No problems. If there are facts that'll sway my answer to something, I'll go with what the facts say. That's not up for debate. So usually my "debates" involve correcting people using facts and providing sources.
yeah, I know what you mean. I guess I just got tired after a while, figured some people just aren't worth my time to correct.
