"Agree, or You're Not a Friend"

@chisa96 Said

Really? People actually say this and think this way. A person has to agree with whatever they do or they do not count them as a friend. They allow no differing perspectives into their lives from their friends, that or the friends are simply not allowed to voice the perspectives.

What good is it to only be agreed with every step of the way? Can people not see how healthy it is to take in disagreements on choices they are facing? Can they not see how incredibly helpful it would be, how much wider of perspective it would give them to view those prospective choices from? Those who disagree (respectfully) with them should be counted as the best of friends, and yet for some people it's only the ones who nod and agree with everything they do that will be treasured.

It's sad really.

I haven't met anyone like this in real life as usually that person will end up putting distance between us and then we never see each other again...

But it's funny how it happens online. People will delete you, block you, and never argue against you in a another thread or ever post against you, because they carry on that grudge.

I'm sorry, every thread to me is new, I'll agree with you in one and then disagree with you in another.

It's silly.

I agree (oops, lol). I have alot of friends that I'm scared of disagreeing with. It'd just start a fight. But I do have some that are honest, and let ME be honest. I love them best.

This is not to say anything against you because I don't really know...but I absolutely hate this trait in other people.

I hate people that change their opinion, stances and views to accommodate another person for the SAKE of agreement. Unless you are rightfully persuaded, if you do that, I will never honestly believe if you really believe it or are just going with the flow and changing you opinion to the popular norm.

It screams falky person and someone who will agree with you, but then turn around and agree with someone else on the exact opposite. It's like you have no backbone.

Again, nothing to do with you personally grasshopper, just the trait you mention in your post.

I was having the wikileaks argument with someone recently and this is exactly how the conversation went:

Me: "I can't believe how people are talking about Julian Assange. They're calling him a terrorist, anarchist, they want him executed.

Girl: "that bastard, I'm glad he got arrested, does he really think that he could get away with doing that?"

Me: "But he hasn't done anything illegal, no proof has been found that he has broken any laws as of yet, plus he got arrested on a completely different matter. I think it's a smear campaign against him."

Girl: "that poor guy."

Me:

My opinion of this girl is now forever tainted.
