Is there anything at ALL that could be said by your political opponents that would change your political affiliation? For example, is there anything a conservative could say that would make a liberal change their mind about abortion? Or is there anything a liberal could say that could change a conservative's mind about the war in Iraq?
So, if people are so steadfast in their views, why do they think they can modify other's views? Aren't we just wasting our time arguing about the issues that are so politicized? Don't people realize that these arguments start and end with nobody changing their viewpoints? How dumb.
Consider these examples:
-can anyone convince an atheist that God exists? No (waste of time)
-can anyone convince a Liberal that we should stay in Iraq? No way.
-can anyone convince a Conservative that Bill Clinton was a great president? No way
-can anyone convince a militant minority group that racial profiling is an appropriate tactic? No way.
