EPISODE 181 "TO HELL WITH YOUR OPINION"

So being a talk show host can sometimes make you numb to the opinion of others. Thats because as the host of a show in which I pick out the subject matter, I pretty much have an opinion already about everything I decide to bring up on the show. But then the more I thought about it, almost EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON EARTH is the same way. We see it all the time in politics, social issues like GAY MARRIAGE, in sports like who is the best this or that, even in sex like what FEELS GOOD. The age old classic saying "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one" can NOT be understated in this episode! It is pretty much the precedent on which my whole argument lies: WE CAN ALL LISTEN TO OTHERS OPINION ABOUT AN ISSUE, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY OURS IS WHAT MATTERS THE MOST! Debating a point whether it be in a court of law or on a talk show is just a formality. It's just a way of saying, "yeah I hear you but really, to HELL with all that listen to my side". Look I know it's considered "polite" and "civilized" to be able to have discussions amongst us humans and hear all views, but once a person is DEAD SET on an issue, MOST OF THE TIME THEIR OPINION WONT CHANGE. Thats how I am, simply because my OPINION is often based on the FACTS and my PERSONALITY..TWO THING THAT ARE NOT DEBATABLE OR OPEN FOR CHANGE! So here are the questions: 1) DOES YOUR OPINION GET SWAYED EASILY ONCE YOU HAVE FORMULATED IT ON AN ISSUE? 2) DO YOU THINK IT IS BEING STUBBORN WHEN YOU STAND YOUR GROUND IN A DEBATE IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE RIGHT? 3) IF THE FACTS SUPPORT ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW, BUT YOUR PERSONALITY OR OTHER REASONS MAKE YOU FORMULATE AN OPINION THAT IS OPPOSITE, HOW EASY IS IT FOR YOU TO CHANGE YOURS? 4) DO YOU RESPECT OTHERS OPINIONS AND LET THEM HAVE THAT OR DO YOU TRY TO MAKE OTHERS SEE IT YOUR WAY MORE OFTEN THEN NOT? 5) GIVE ME YOUR OPINION ON ANY CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC AND LETS SEE IF YOU REALLY RESPECT MY OPINION OR IF YOU SAY TO HELL WITH IT!
