Why doesn't everyone agree with me?

My house rules:
  1. I’m always right.
  2. When I’m wrong, see rule number 1.
 
I agree. I can hardly laugh when I all too often see the damage done by answers that seek only to be viewed as “right” rather than helpful.
 
I was with my father when he first saw the movie Sister Act . . .

When she was sent to the principle’s office as a child, he immediately popped out with, “that’s not the principal’s office!”.

He had been quite familiar with the principal’s office at that school at approximately that time . . . .😱🤣😱

Ever think that? I mean, forum life would be sooooo much easier - far less arguing, debating and general discord. I would have far less thinking and research to do. I have concluded that, if there is going to be unity, then it might as well begin with me. So, everyone, I am ready for your agreement!

Anyone know where the :tongueincheek: emoticon is?

I disagree that he actually agrees with you about the disagreement. Mostly because I’m a disagreeable person, a fact on which we can all agree… (Look what you started, fhansen.)

I’d agree to disagree but then I’d be agreeing-I think. One thing I do know is that I find this entire thread disagreeable.
 
Remember:
  • Never listen to other people’s opinions, because they’re not you and are therefore wrong. Why would you listen to something that’s wrong?
  • Never change your mind or admit to being wrong, which you never are. Dig in and never change, no matter what evidence is presented.
  • If the person who is disagreeing with your right opinion is upset with you, apologize. Not for any offense you caused, because it’s never your fault! Instead, repeat after me: “I’m sorry you feel that way”. That’s guaranteed to get them to see things your way (as opposed to, say punch you in the throat).
 
It’s not about me. On the other hand, that’s a great place to start. 🙂

Yeah, but we all agree on that. :sheesh:

Huh? What? No we don’t…

Since a double negative in English indicates a positive, does disagreeing with disagreement indicate agreement? I need to make a wall chart.

Maybe this should be in philosophy…
 
Disagree with me all you want but why flag me? Flag this, flag that and flag …flag flag
Do I ever flag? 😏. Yep, but not too much.

This sounds like you want everyone to agree with you and nobody have their own opinion.

tongue-in-cheek |ˈˌtəNG ən ˈCHēk|
adjective& adverb
with ironic or flippant intent: [ as adj. ] : her delightful tongue-in-cheek humor | [ as adv. ] : “I swear there’s a female conspiracy against men!” he complained, tongue-in-cheek.

I hope that this clarifies it just a bit.
 
Here’s another one for your wall chart:

I don’t agree with your assertion that not everyone agrees with you.

Back in high school, there was one character who quipped:
