I am the one stating it. I personally think that this is what happens to a lot of people. Perhaps your opinion about taxes will never change, no matter what -- but certainly some folks evolve their thinking once they get wealthy or as you yourself said act "socially liberal" only until the tithe box reaches them.
- operatingthetan 4y agoTelling someone their opinion could change doesn't contribute to the conversation and edges on ad hominem.
- HopenHeyHi 4y agoInteresting perspective, I never thought of it that way. By all means, I shall call you a person whose opinion could not change. Is there a term for such a thing?

- yucky 4y agoWelp, they walked right into that one ;)
- operatingthetan 4y agoYeah, I walked into a person who refused to have good-faith discourse.
- HopenHeyHi 4y agoAll I can suggest is for you to ask a trusted friend to read the exchange and give their take on it, preferably without priming or explaining. Alternatively you can, for my edification, demonstrate by way of example -- how should I have phrased my initial point in a more palatable manner in your opinion?
- operatingthetan 4y agoThe only "point" you offered was a character attack, you did not make an attempt to respond to any of my arguments whatsoever. I am not interested in your rude suggestions or further interaction with you.
- HopenHeyHi 4y agoI sincerely believe you did not read my comments as intended, nothing rude in such a suggestion as misunderstandings happen - either way, be well.

- whateveracct 4y agoYou're basically trying to invalidate that person's comment with a made-up hypothetical.
