@Steve Angell sorry to disappoint

That debate usually deteriorates to one or two points that never really go anywhere

Fine with me. Just saying honest discussions.

@PhoenixAshes true dat

Yeah, honest and civil discussions.

That is fine as long as it then ends. No one needs to win. Differing beliefs is fine. We all think differently.

Yeah, it is not what we believe the shape of what we live on, but how we live our lives.

Yes

@Seeker of Truth I saw that.

It took me three years to believe the earth was flat after someone I saw as a role model on religion said it was flat. I never forgot how much she believed it was flat.

Someone's not subtle.

Uh oh

Don't ban me, Holmes.

The Aristotelian approach to arguing is broken anyways

It was intended to change the opinion of an undeciding audience not your opponent

I have noticed when I win a disagreement it is best to end the discussion and perhaps speak of it in a week or two. Not that I won just about the same thing carefully to not cause a problem.

@Hamburger Guy I tend to agree with that. In order to become well versed on any subject that is polarizing like this, you should not only learn your own position, but your opponent's as well. In addition to the common arguments/counter arguments that both sides use.

Most people do not handle it well when a serious belief is proven false.

I changed a lot of my beliefs in the last 2 years

It is really hard ngl

Guyssss idk how to get out of this new memberrrr.. WHERE DO I GOOOOOO

I believe very little that I believed 8 years ago. And I am 66. For 58 years I stuck with beliefs and would not even question was I correct in those beliefs.

Yeah welp I'm 14 and my dad is a truther and I became a flat earthers when I was around 8

I figured people were stupid if they disagreed. Stupid thought process.

I feel like the odd man out lol.

I used to feel physical pain when hearing a point against my world view

Ppl ask me, Hey what are your believes, I say flat Earth and they just go off on me

If ain't a BELIEF it's a FACT you NORMIE

I so wish I had had the internet at 14. It was so limited back then. Libraries and such. I now know that what is in them is highly restricted.

So you're FE but your dad is not?

America burns books on a daily basis.

FE is not fact. It's just a very large misunderstanding.

Half of my local library is young adult

@GandalfTheGreen Doesn't the green wizard in LOTR have another name?
