I approve of this thread so much. This kind of stuff should be mandatory reading before anyone is let on the internet.
Also, I can't answer the question in the title. I try to understand other viewpoints as often as possible. People have reasons for having the views they have, and the more profound the disagreement, the less likely it is to find any common ground (and thus have a fruitful discussion) without trying to understand the opposing view as well. Also, if there are any profound disagreements, changing the opposing side's view is probably close to impossible without understanding.
Not understanding other viewpoints is probably the biggest source of conflict in the world.
