I've changed my opinions dramatically on many issues, due to conversations I've had with you, wuf, and with spoonitnow, RIP.
(I cite you 2, since you both hold general world views which are dramatically different than mine.)
Of course, you haven't swayed me to be in perfect agreement with you, but you have certainly enlightened me to many issues I was not aware of, and shown me your perspective which I had no chance of understanding until you did. That education has caused my opinions to drift.
I have seen other people change their stance on certain issues. I think we are a generally open-minded group.
We're not children. We're not foolish. We don't want to be stubborn or pig-headed. We have had to assemble a world view from the minutia of our lives, which are unique. It is only expected that we'll never resolve some disagreements, as we've had different life-experiences. That's not the whole picture, though.
