I am very interested in the opinion of others. Sometimes they change my mind. Sometimes they help me see their point of view, but I still favor my point of view.

Consider, of course. I enjoy hearing other’s opinions, even if we disagree. It’s how you learn and grow.

I’m agnostic about a lot of things and I’m only certain of relatively few things, so in that way I don’t think I’m particularly set in my ways.

However, people in general are full of shit with dumb worthless opinions.

I’m acutely aware of all the idiotic and incorrect things that people think and believe with far too much confidence. I try to ignore them, because otherwise I will get sucked into arguing with morons instead of doing something more relaxing or fun.

I’ll listen to others if what they tell me is within reason, it all depends.

I constantly reevaluate my decisions and positions.

I ALWAYS consider the opinions of others right before I ignore them!!! LoL That’s how you learn. When I was younger, I often changed my way of thinking. As I’ve gotten older, I don’t get swayed as often…although it still can be done.

Consider? Yes. Give a fuck? Not usually…

^I have changed my mind before. I reversed on the AR-15 issue, to where I now am on the left side of it. Other changes are possible.
However. Life is too short, and it’s impossible to please everyone.
Hell. Everyone, should be easier to please. People get upset with people they usually like, over minute differences WAAAYYY too often.
I personally find differences in opinions stimulating, and when someone has the guts to stick with their own position on something I find that an admirable trait.

^^ I am ecstatic that you are on the proper side of the AR-15 issue! That makes me so happy!!

^I’ve been accused of many things. But, “proper?”...

I always consider the facts and real life repercussions, opinion not as much. @kropotkin phrased it well.
