I had a thread once asking the same thing If anyone has had their minds changed by others on ATS and I admit it only a couple of times have I thought "Heck Iam wrong and he is right".
I think what matters is having the bottle to hold up your hands when you are wrong and admitting it.
We all think we are right about stuff but If we all agreed it would be a little boring on ATS.
I see people sometimes that are obviously the way you describe. I don't understand them and I don't understand the point. Maybe for some of them they feel they have to defend their views in the world or else corruption would spread or something lol. I don't know. I guess all of us have a certain degree of that in us though. We all try to be open-minded, questioning, humble etc. Some days we're better at it than other days...

Don't get me wrong, I don't think everyone should agree on everything. Life would get boring quickly. I guess what I'm asking is why we have discussions on subjects that we are adamant about in the first place.

Reminds me of the kids that never got any attention for behaving, so they learned that acting out was the only option for getting noticed.
