Answer 1

I'm kind of a voyeur and honestly I prefer to see people let their real opinions out, even though personally I may judge them harshly if they're an idiot.

Answer 2

I would prefer people keep personal opinions to themselves that are certain to upset at least some friends. I won't mention it but that's how I feel. I want to know what my friends are up to but I don't want to read their soapbox sermons.

Answer 3

I don't really care. If I think people are boring or I disagree with them I just keep scrolling. No harm done. Free speech yo!

Answer 4

I am definitely not comfortable sharing my own personal opinions, but there's no harm in other people spilling their guts. My Netflix account is expired so I appreciate the entertainment.

Answer 5

Facebook is not an effective tool for having meaningful conversations about nuanced, complex subjects. You're asking for miscommunication and hurt feelings. Its best to not get sucked in and so I would rather not be tempted by provocative posts.

Answer 6

I like some opinions and hate others. I don't usually get involved but on occasion I might want to, based on how I feel. Overall I wouldn't discourage anybody from writing about what is really on their mind. Its refreshing to see a bit of someone else's humanity.

Answer 7

If people are willing to post strong opinions, they must be asking for a strong rebuke, which I'm happy to give to them. Prepare to get your ass kicked!

Answer 8

I try to grow only a vetted circle of Facebook friends who share common beliefs and opinions so I can speak honestly without worrying about criticisms which harsh my flowery optimism.

Answer 9

I love having my ideas challenged. I welcome any and all viewpoints and I honestly have no issue with people who think totally different from me. I just like to understand better how others think. I rarely have negative feelings toward someone who is bringing up sensitive topics. On the contrary I enjoy getting into the meat of discussions.
