Ya know James, I think I would pass out from shock if I ever saw you respond with a "ya know what, let me rethink that" or "hmmm, that's a good point, maybe I was wrong."
But for somebody who I actually believe is an intellegent individual, you are unquestionably the most closed minded individual I've ever conversed with. I'm 54 years old and have met people from all over the world, and have yet to meet a person like you that not will not LISTEN to anyone. You believe what you believe and that's the end of the conversation with you.
And while it's admirable that you stand firm in your convictions, say what you mean and mean what you say, ......to never agree, or God Forbid CONCEED a point to anyone is not anything an open-minded person would do. INSTEAD OF DISCUSSING SOMETHING YOU SIMPLY POST A CONTRADICTION AS TO WHY THEY ARE WRONG!
Even though you spend a lot of time here just trying to be contrary and having fun with it, even enticing people into "discussions", sometimes you've got to admit that, hey maybe I'm not right...maybe I should change my opinion!
I'll be interested to see if you can respond to my post without ripping a single or multiple parts of it.
