Er... I think you meant if someone (that counts) agrees with your
position. I am someone who has occasionally counted. I do pay attention;
I don't necessarily agree (with you or the article). Being of a positive
disposition, I don't like to simply disagree (I'd much rather say "yes"
than "no"); that's one reason why I posted my reasons for disagreeing :-)

No problem, I know I'm opinionated, *but* (I read this somewhere) we can
agree to disagree on things.

Absolutely! :-)

I have never understood why society generally considers people who are
opinionated to be undesirable. It's like, as long as you go with the flow
and don't think at all, you will be very socially acceptable.

I LIKE opinionated people, even if I disagree with them sometimes. I'd MUCH
rather someone demonstrated their capacity for independent thought, than
simply said: "yeah...whatever..."

OK, I guess sometimes some people come up with some really BAD ideas (Adolf
Hitler springs to mind - There, I've violated Godwin's Law again and so this
thread must close... (yeah, right...:-)), but surely even a BAD idea is
better than NO idea...??? What do you think?

(Thunderous choruses of "yeah...whatever" from stage left... :-))

Pete.
