ORIGINAL: juliaoceania I can change my mind, I have been known to many times. That's an 'occasional' thing with me. I'm pretty solid and grounded in my beliefs at this point in my life (read that as stubborn and old if ya wanna! lol) .. but, once in a while I do go.. 'well, damn.. I never thought of it that way before," and I actually appreciate those more than almost anything else. quote:
If I strongly hold a certain position I will not back down from it, I will walk away from the argument, in fact I should walk away more often than I do I think I'm getting pretty good at walking away after I've made my point. I find that when I do a post in which I've started repeating myself on the same thread to the same person, that's my indication that I'm done. I've also gotten pretty good at being able to see those who want to argue just for the sake of arguing and those who are interested in truly understanding other view points. I'm here for the latter, (both to understand others even if I don't agree with them and, if I'm lucky, for them to understand me), and am getting better at spotting the former and as this is strictly for entertainment and education, I do try to stay away from the former as much as possible.
