    i have to admit, I'm a very good/bad debater. As in, my friends will agree with me solely for the purpose to get me to shut up.


    I want to know how many are like me? And also, who has the wherewithal to hear both sides entirely before they formulate their ideas.

    I'm an ass.

    I voted for the second option. Though it's not entirely accurate. I usually approach a subject with my own ideas, leanings, and biases. I will listen to other ideas and arguments though, and consider them before making a final declaration on an issue.

    I don't think I fit your options, Fatty, so I didn't vote, but I freely admit to being opinionated! :)

    I'm more opinionated than I should be. If I spent more time listening than editorializing, I'd probably have a better understanding of the world.

    I'm a contrarian. I tend to take the devil's advocate side on lots of things. I'm sure it is highly annoying. :)

    But, I tend to be pretty open minded overall. I can be swayed on issues. I mean, I'm pretty much a left wing, tree hugging spiritual humanist and, at one time in my life, I was a born-again, right wing conservative Christian. You never know. :D

    None of those options really have much to do with being opinionated.

    What if you don't have an opinion on this, couldn't that skew your poll?

    I'm rather sure that I'm opinionated, but I'm definitely sure that, at this very moment, I'm drunk as a mother****er.

    Maybe it's pitiful that I come home drunk and log on to ClutchBBS, but...


    I love ClutchBBS. I love you all. Thank you, good night.

    P.S. I just ripped a nasty beer fart. My apartment smells like methane.

    Why would I hold an opinion if I thought I was wrong?

    I can attest to this....especially after you have had a few...:D

    I can think of one time that you were most emphatically wrong....but I didnt argue just to get you to change the subject... :p

    Ontopic....

    I try real hard to not make a decision until I have weighed all the data I can find...thats why some of the discussion around here irritates me...I want to hear both sides, but some resort to distortions and name calling instead of sticking with the facts.

    I'm never wrong. I'm never argumentative. Everything I say should be cherished and recorded. Y'all are in the presence of greatness. Be humble and honored by my valuable input. Period.:p :p :p :p
