Has debating ever changed your mind?
 

Basically all in the title...has taking part in a debate/discussion about a subject, taking note of others opinions on it ever made you change your mind?

Nope

It’s nice to see other people being wrong though :hee:

Not that I can recall. But it is good to hear the other side.

No

Nope….

I don't think it's ever changed my mind as such, i think that would only happen... if i didn't know much about a topic and then was enlightened more.

Lol....of course. I'm surprised people haven't changed their minds in a proper debate. I have lots of times...I have listened to the "other side" and actually got it....that I was wrong and I love it. Its not an actual debate unless you have an open mind.....if you don't its argument

Loads of times.

I always like to think that I'm open to other people's points of view.

it depends what the debate is on and how complex the issue(s) are. I can change my mind on some aspects and not others

I've never been wrong, so why would I :shrug:

When it comes to politics, I change my mind fairly often anyway :laugh: I don't have any real convictions, so I don't care if I get swayed on most issues. The only consistent thing is environmentalism, and that informs a lot of my more solid opinions. But otherwise, I'm fairly open.

yes lots of times

last one was when i made the "trans rapist thread" and slim pointed out that it wasnt a trans rapist but a man rapist who then became trans (to get an easier ride)

actually he just put on a wig and pink clothes but it was more than enough to fool the Scottish Government and the media

But that day i heard a lot of actual trans people say that it was wrong to stigmatize trans people by using the term trans rapist. Anyhoo i changed the title

I note most of the news media did not change!

Yes i am the King of Flip Flopping :clap1: :clap1:

That’s true I changed my mind a few times during Brexit finally settling on remain

yeah, brexit was a complex one with lots to weigh up, so i went back and forth a lot before settling on remain :laugh:

Brexit was easy, I was always on the winning side of the debate.

Can you name a benefit or improvement you have seen in your area since we left the EU?

one big benefit is we have stopped talking about the EU

:joker:

we have really clamped down on immigration and helped my local area no end :hehe:

Not yet, the losers in the establishment are still trying to sabotage the people's decision.

in what way, and what benefits are you expecting to happen in your area and in what timeframe?

I know I still cant find an actual pic of Natalie Umbruglia topless that isnt a fake

I was hoping after Brexit this would have been afforded to me :oh:
