kingzoso Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 This just came to Me and I thought I would make a topic out of it. There are no "right" or "wrong" answers to this "Question". Do You consider yourself to be an easy going person, or somewhat of a "Hothead" (etc...) when someone happens to disagree with what You believe? I know and realize that there are certain things that others will say and do that You will not and could not agree with. That is the question: Do you "yield" and agree or do You take a stand and Espouse what you Believe. On this Great and Mighty Led Zeppelin Forum, I see and read some of Both. I am ONE that will Never "Yield". I know that there are some that do and Many that don't. I think it comes down to Total Beliefs and Hardcore Convictions. Am I Correct or Incorrect? (This question relates to Led Zeppelin related topics and not to Led Zeppelin topics). Edited to add: I have always been and will always be an easy-going and relaxed person. It would take some very strong and harsh words to make Me mad (on a forum or even in Person) to make me lose My Cool. And, to be Honest, that has never happened. Words are just Words, and Opinions are just Opinions, whether you agree or disagree with Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrum Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I am easy going but will stick with my beliefs no matter what. I'm conservative and an NRA/NMLRA member. But I'm also compassionate and I could never hunt or be cruel to animals (unless attacked by a puma or something). :^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have noticed that only 2 people have replied to this (somewhat) inane topic that I started and over 270 people have at least read or viewed the topic. From that I gather that most of those who chose to read the topic, but not reply, means that a lot you are actually "Hotheads" but will not admit that you are. I can "respect" that. However, all I have to do is venture over to any one of the political or/and the I hate Bush or Obama is king topics and I see/read that most of the people on this Awesome forum argue/bicker/call other fellow Led Zeppelin fans nasty words and worse. You are wrong/I am right... I am right/you are wrong... all that nonsense that is really very silly and Stupid. Like I said, Words are Only Words and Opinions are Only Opinions. Can someone you have Never met, and say things that you do not like, make you that ignorant that you resort to such name-calling and ignorance? I guess it can. Not to me anyway. Just edited to add: I gather/guess that those that I am referring to will read this but will not reply (as usual). I could name those that I am talking about and they know who they are. However, I will let the small masses who read this figure out who they are. It really should not be that HARD. Farewell Sagittarius Rising (you were one and now you are gone). I wonder which new name you will come back as... Remember this Topic is about being HONEST!!!... and I am just sticking to MY OWN HONESTY, regardless if others agree or vehemently disagree with me.

TypeO Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Well, since you seem so desperate to make this thread have some legs, and I imagine I'm one of those you're referring to... All the other threads I participate in have topics I have opinions on. I have an interest in the discussions. This thread doesn't seem to have much of a point, other than your last post where you seem to want people to argue in YOUR thread rather than in other threads. So, to be honest, it seems you start a lot of threads for the sole reason of having a popular thread with a lot of participation. And, to be fair, many of your threads have done just that. But it still doesn't change the fact that you seem to have an underlying desire to create threads that will be popular. Personally, I generally create threads simply because it's something I want to discuss. Sometimes a lot of other people are interested, as well, and the thread becomes somewhat popular. More often than not, the thread gets a few replies at best, and then fades into the background. And that's fine, as well. Obviously whatever it was I brought up wasn't as interesting to others as it was to me. But I don't create threads solely for the purpose of getting a lot of participation. The closest thread I can remember starting with the idea that it may stick around was a thread about favorite pizza. This thread is a prime example. You started it up, got only a few replies, and then resorted to making broad assumptions and vague accusations about the lack of responses to this thread in an obvious attempt to spur participation. So, at least it worked a little, since I'm replying. But I hardly see the point in a thread designed specifically just to argue. At least the political threads I participate in have an actual topic to argue about. So, yeah. There ya go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledded1 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 august You have a better memory than I have then, I thought it was longer ago than that. But like most social medias sites these days pople hide behind their anonymity to feel more comfortable in being vicous and nasty to other people. Twitter is probably the best example of that. It's harder to do that when people know who you really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletMacaw Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 My response will explain why I am not really here anymore: Opinions aren't always opinions. People used to have the opinion that the world was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth. Those weren't "opinions" they were wrong assumptions. Not every statement is an "opinion." In addition, some "opinions" are prejudices and bigotry. Hitler had the opinion that the Jews should be annihilated and 6 million people died as a result. I am not interested in either hearing people's incorrect assumptions displayed and excused as "opinions" nor am I interested in hearing other people's prejudices and bigotry explained away as "opinions." To answer your question, I am not easy-going. "Easy-going" people in my experience are often people who just don't...care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some peoples opinions are believed regardless of there being no evidence to support them. Feelings aren't facts, opinions arent facts, prejudices and bigotry are't facts. Yet for some they have to believe they are always right. You only have to read the politcal threads to see that. But thats human nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingzoso Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 I agree. Well said TypeO (post #5). I can and do relate to what You said. This is just a random, however a Very Powerful, "Quote" (not directed at you specifically ): "I hope that You are not a Hothead like Your brother. You can't speak business with him". From what quote (movie) does this come from? Anybody??? Anybody??? If anyone knows what I am referencing , I only ask that You be Honest and not look up this "quote" on Google. (Just kidding about that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan77 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 The Godfather - It was honestly on AMC all day yesterday.. I noticed that.
