Has Anybody's Mind Ever Been Changed Re: An Issue?

[Rggr]

I've learned from some informative links and on occasion have shifted my perspective because of what someone on here said - not often but it has happened.

I think the only issue I've changed my mind on due to the forums is gay marriage..

Other issues I've become stronger in my position because I realize the other side is full of **** and cant make heads from tales..

In real life discussions? Maybe. Discussions on the Internet? Nope.

I've moved from anti-nanny-state to pro-nanny-state.

I have changed my mind lately about nanny statism. It was not so much because of a posting, but a conversation with a friend who disagrees on many issues. The change came about rather gradually as I bumped up against this concept time and time again.

With no foreseeable damper on the welfare state in the near future, I believe that we will have to have a strong nanny state to go with it. Especially in the area of health care, since the CDC says that up to 75% of health care costs are due to behavior (smoking, drinking, etc).

I have let's say . . . broadened my perspective after reading some thought-provoking, well written posts.

For instance, I can kind of see what gun owners are a wee bit paranoid about losing their guns. Such as . . if they give an inch, will the government take a mile?

My eyes have also been opened a bit to the issue of police brutality and the militarization of our police ~ something I hadn't given much thought to.

I have changed my mind about some things regarding health care.
