Do You Look Down On People Because They Don't Agree With You??

I have no issue with people who disagree with me, but have absolutely no patience with those who resort to personal attack when asked to give reasons for their opinions or when others do not agree.
After all, this is a discussion board, and that involves give and take. Those who only want to preach their personal ideas and insult those who disagree are better left ignored.
One of my favorite movie lines, "Let him rave on, that the world might know him mad."

Ok. I'm highly opinionated. Opinions I have developed for myself without the WT telling me what opinions I should have.
However, If someone wants to challenge that I'm wrong, I am happy to listen and if I am wrong (which I seldom am ) I will happily change my opinion and acknowledge my transgression.
My ex-husband #3 used to say that I had this need to be right all the time. I responded that it was because I usually am! He couldn't disagree.
What I dislike in others is predudice, intolerance, and opinions without support. I have a couple of long-term girlfriends who fairly recently I discovered their intolerance of immagrants who have a difficult time speaking english. One is 3nd generation Norsk and uses the excuse that her grandparents learned the language. Yeah, but how long did it take for them to learn it fluently? They've been here for over 60 years.

We all might get to feeling we're always right but eventually when one demonstrates this attitude time and again, they're obnoxious to be around.

Well apart from Hillary Step I cant think of anyone else I look down upon, so I guess I'm not very Jehovah's witnessy anymore.
