Opinionated people

[alisonb]

We know one, perhaps we may even be one...in fact there may even be a couple on this forum

How do you handle a 'know-it-all' opinionated person who seems to presume they can impose their views on you?

Opinions are like azzholes everybody has one.

Tell em to go hump a stump..

Ignore them and don't give them the satisfaction of getting under my skin.

Let them spew their rhetoric and go on my merry way. It's the equivalent of a political "discussion". I think part of their motivation is their vain attempt to elevate themselves; they're usually very narcissistic. If you don't engage it takes all the fun away & they'll eventually move on to someone willing to take the bait.

Being opinionated isn't a bad thing, but being so opinionated that you can't listen to what someone has to say will really cost you.

That's exactly write.
I have no problem with getting down in the mud and fighting.....but when your obviously proven wrong you gotta be big enough to admit it. There's lots around here who don't have that ability.

Try having an opinionated brother who likes to lecture and ram it down your throat and then chucks a hissy fit if you don't agree! I have had lots of practice i can tell you. Here's a tip, never laugh at their opinion, doesn't go down well!! Just nod that you heard them and go your own way.

Smile and politely prove them wrong every chance you get. Maybe I'm one of them lol

If they are on this forum work to get them banned. AGAIN

 

[sim.-ang.king]

I'm not opinionated, I just feel strongly that Herefords are the only real cattle, and that everyone else is wrong.

 

[kenny thomas]

Hmmmm, hasn't thought about you.

I don't mind people with strong opinions. What I don't care for is people who are the know it all type.

 

[boondocks]

I don't mind folks with strong opinions if they're backed by facts. Have a family member who is opinionated as heck on every topic but incredibly out-of-touch on facts. But folks with strong opinions need to practice listening too, so that they don't come across as bores

But on the bright side, one day you might be the brother of the Prime Minister of Australia.

You never know, the way things are going we all will get a go! Looks like we will have a different one in four months, and he's a real willy!

We'll all be ruined said Hanrahan, if willy (can't use the best words to describe him as not allowed to cuss on here) gets elected. Farmers will become an endangered species.

Aren't they already Diana, just read where a heap of NSW farmers are being taken to court over some tree clearing. Once Willy gets his federal clearing laws in, no hope.
