- ugh 16y agoI don’t think that’s true at all.
- davorak 16y agoI would make the argument that it depends more on the rationality of the person receiving the argument then what the argument is about. A rational person is capable and willing to change their mind when new evidence is offered. A irrational person may easily change their mind on some topics with no evidence and never change their mind on other topics(politics/religion/etc) even with the best evidence.
- bloomshed 16y agoI think the trick is staying calm while you confront somebody about something. If you set them off, they stop hearing what you're saying and the whole "discussion" turns into a spitting match. Everybody knows that crazy talk is a waste of everyone's time. I get depressed every time I find myself reading the comments on CNN or YouTube. . . .
