I agree, I don't hug my brother like that.

Swany, she has a good point, you tend to take your opinions and go "I'M RIGHT".

Nanny

Hahaha, before I actually offer a real explanation, I just want to comment on this. I tend to take my opinions and go "I'M RIGHT", you say? Now, how would that work if I were to take my opinions and go "I'M WRONG"? Well, then it wouldn't be an opinion, would it? Or at least, not a very strong one. Of course I think my opinions are right. That's what makes them my opinion. So the fact that you're negating me for saying "I'm Right" to my opinions is laughable. And I will plead guilty to that.

But, here's my response to that, which explains the way I see things happening:


See, I don't think that's the case. Or at least its not the intended case. I prefer to discuss things thoroughly, but most often find people only take the time to say "I think this sucks." I return with the question "Why do you think this sucks?" so I can get more background on why they think it sucks. However, people are not as willing to go into detail as I am, and often aren't willing to stand up for their opinions, so they back down and say that I'm saying they're wrong, when really, they just can't be bothered proving to me why they are right.

That's the main thing I've seen, is that people are scared of the question "why?". Now why would that be? Maybe because they haven't totally thought out their position yet? Maybe they are just extending their opinions because their friends shared it? Who knows? All I know is, I have my opinions, I stand up for them. I generally refrain from doing anything that opposes the rules of Eternal Allegiance. I don't personally flame people, I don't do anything but stick up for my own opinion. Are you going to deny me that right?

You keep asking why I think a brother and sister don't hug on eachother like that, right? I've already answered you. My answer was simply, a brother and sister do not hug on eachother like that. I didn't know that I had to go in full detail on why I chose that opinion. I've never known anyone to hug their siblings like that. And I'm even talking about really close families too. I mean, it's not a big deal now, but I thought I should answer the question a little more thoroughly(?)

**DISCLAIMER: Some of this is being directed at Ashleigh, but only some. The rest is being directed at everybody, really.**

Yeah, and I was asking you to explain further. I even gave you examples of what I was curious about. I'm not sure what you mean by "like that", so I asked you these questions:

And now you're saying:

Which is exactly what I'm saying. You answered "simply". I'm not looking for simple answers here. If you want me to believe your opinion is right, then you're going to have to tell me why it's right. How am I supposed to believe my opinion is wrong, unless somebody tells me why it's wrong? So why am I being held responsible because people choose to answer simply, when I'm looking for more?

That's why I kept asking you why?.


Another thing, is everybody is saying "I don't hug my (brother/sister) like that." Yes, maybe you don't. Does that mean everybody in America hugs the same way as you?

And why is this just about brother/sister? Joel and Hilary aren't brother and sister. What about friends? Or is there a specific code of conduct for hugging friends, too? Co-ed friends?
