I've come to the conclusion that political debate/argument/discussion is not interesting. Why? In 25 years of political discussions I have never seen someone actually concede that the other side is right on a major issue. Those involved are, in reality, only talking to themselves and their supporters. All is vanity.

Have you ever seen someone actually change their opinion as a result of a political debate/discussion? If so, I would like to hear about it.
