Often enough discussions on the forums don't really end up with having a lot of minds changed!
And a lot of people just feel like they are the ones that are right! And so defend their own arguements.
Now there are simple topics like what color lemons are ( silly example ) And then there are the more complicated ones like peoples views on abortion or circumcision,Even though not allowed sexuality and religion. While these topics are quite personal and hard to change someone's mindset. Like changing a pro life person's opinion on abortion depending on the situation, Or making a pro choice person see it from the other side.
How persuasive are you? When you feel you're right do you do everything to make sure that person atleast understands what you mean and actually make it happen every now and then or do you feel like no one will ever change their minds (maybe including you ) so you don't really go into it.
And did you ever changed your mind even though you thought you couldn't possibly be wrong and did you admit it?
I myself haven't really been discussing much complicated topics myself as far as i can remember so i don't recall ever changing someone's mind on something.
And as for my mind being changed When i'm obviously wrong and all the facts are infront of me then yeah i do change my mind. but that doesen't mean i don't have my stubborn moments though
So what about you?
It would be nice if you can say in (slight)detail in what discussion you actually changed someones mind on, If you remember
