FabSwingers.com forum: Liberal and Open Minded....

Do you have either of these words on your profile to describe you?

Liberal - willing to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.

Open minded - willing to consider new ideas; unprejudiced

If you do, how often do you then come on the forums, and tell somebody THEIR opinion is wrong, just because it doesn't fit with yours?

Maybe you should change 'liberal' for 'hypocrital'.

Maybe swap 'open minded' for 'objectional'

Ive never and by never, I mean not once have I seen anybody say that someone’s opinion is wrong. I have however seen ‘liberal’ profiles say they won’t meet anyone who voted Brexit or voted Tory, which in its self is hilarious, such tolerance.

I would never say to someone there opinion is wrong ,

Just because it differs from mine, dont make it wrong , 2 ,3 ,4 or more people can all have a very different opinion ,yet they all right

Sometimes people's opinions are based on something that's incorrect. I don't thiknk it's hypocritical to point that out.

There are some very hypocritical people on these forums, we try to avoid them.

We try to have the understanding and look at situations from other people's point of view, some people don't have the knowledge or inclination to do this unfortunately.

I general there are not many hypocrites here I find, I do think we all at one time or another start to judge without thinking if we were honest but most of us can then pull back and not make judgements. I've had some wise old friends throughout my life and some sayings that stick we me are , Don't judge a man without walking a mile in his shoes, People in glass houses should not throw stones and my personal favourite from when I was a green teenager talking to a tradesman who was training when the subject of anal sex came up was "Don't knock it until you've tried it".
