Sometimes - it isn't what is being said

that bugs me but the WAY in which it's said - do you react adversely more in a debate if the way in which information is supplied is put forward in a smug 'i'm better than you' way than if it's straightforward and heartfelt!? Z |

Totally true - which is why messages on MSN or via text can so easily be misread as they lack body language , pitch, intonation etc. The same statement in a meeting can be said with irony, sarcasm, cynicism, humour, as a question/ statement... etc. |

absolutely.... but the problem is that some people will always think they are "better than others" its just the way life is...
I would rather hear someones actual opinion in there own words rather then tow the line of a certain newspaper or copy an article word for word..... |

No one likes being condescended to!
There will always be something you don't know and someone who's an expert or armchair expert.
Some people have a natural affinity of sharing information/views without making you feel stupid or brow beaten.
Others can't help themselves: puffed up with their own self importance they'll spue out their views ad nauseum and become offensive if you don't agree with them.
I tend to avoid these types of people as they're usually 24 carot bores to boot!  |

It is about being yourself in a conversation and remaining respectful to the other person, irrespective of their status and ability to express themselves? |

I think you should say what is true to your own beliefs and not what someone else (Political party/Newspaper/News programme) has told you is the way to think.
As my grandad always said...."speak from your heart and not from your arse" |

Agreed - also, if you dont agree with somebody there is no need to be offensive. After all, diversity of opinions is what makes life (and the forums) fun IMHO  |

Its often interesting how two different editors give a totally different angle on an event. It shows how things can be portrayed differently with the use of slightly different words. |

"Plus what a boring world it would be if we all agreed about everything?"
I disagree - i think if we all agreed to disagree except for when we agree - and even then we could just pretend to agree but actually disagree - then - oh - can I have an aspirin? Z |
