Re: What's the point in discussing politics? No one ever changes their opinion.

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.

I now agree with you that people don't change their minds by reading politics threads. Before reading your post, I did infact believe that people changed their minds in politics threads. You changed my mind with a post about how politics threads can't change people's minds.
