Same ideology or not, doesn't matter

No.

I'm not opposed to the idea, but it hasn't happened yet. In six years no-one has made a compelling enough argument to cause me to change my opinion about something.

At least not on this particular board.

Based on recent evidence, it's not likely happen any time soon either...

In the religion forums a couple times. Never in politics. That place is full of loons.

Here? No. On other boards, yes.

Sometimes is it a process over time.

nothing wrong with that

I would have to agree...more of a process and gradually over time. But,yes...I have had a poster change my mind. Not about politics though.

The basic framework of my ideas, values and beliefs, have remained basically the same ....as long as I can remember.

Superficial details, here and there, have changed, along the way.

Yeah, I decided Gunny didn't suck as much as I thought he did.

One would presume that you came to that conclusion recently?

Honestly, I doubt anyone on here ever changes their mind about anything. It's just two sides shouting at each other.

It would be naive to expect Road to Damascus stuff in such conditions, but I think that, over time, you might begin to have doubts about some of the intellectual company you are keeping. Immediately, though, having contact with foreigners, in particular, makes you revise any simple-minded tolerance you may have lived with. I found living in England a mind-changing experience, and reading what American Republicans apparently take for granted makes me sure our very toads are wiser and better balanced!

Right wingers have that reaction quite often to my posts. They will however not admit to it.

Get the vasaline and the crowbars out, we have to wedge USCitizen's E-Ego through the door.....

No. I do look forward to that happening, though.

If someone presents a well thought out and researched position that runs contrary to mine and the facts speak otherwise to my position naturally I would consider their findings. That may change my mind.

On personal, more subjective opinion based topics no. I am who I am and I have the courage of my convictions.

Pretty much this.
