| Topic | What is your opinion of cowards who change their opinion when convenient? |
| Zeus 06/10/18 11:51:35 PM #18: | GrimCyclone posted... Personally, I dont like cowardice. I like a person to stand up for what they believe in. At least sit on the sidelines if theyre too afraid to admit the truth. But to switch their opinion to the opposite of what they do only to be accepted and fit in? Thats pretty shitty. I try not to associate with people like that. You're wrongly assuming that it's a matter of not wanting to stand up for their opinions instead of not actually believing that strongly in something. Most people barely have an opinion on a lot of subjects -- because there are far too many subjects out there -- and those opinions tend to be weak since they're not based on much (or, if they're partisan, they let others make up their minds for them so their default opinion falls on party lines but may quickly falter when pressed on the issue) Plus a lot of people take an opinion when they just have a cursory knowledge of the subject -- like hearing a headline -- and then that opinion may change as they learn more. (Or, realistically, they don't bother learning more or correcting their opinion, which is why "Hands up, don't shoot" is still big for BLM propaganda despite even Eric Holder acknowledging that Mike Brown went for the officer's gun) GrimCyclone posted...

It's more cowardly to stick to an opinion even if you know it's wrong *cough, religion* What? --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
