Okay, in another attempt to respond properly when my brain is still on vacation - I agree that it seems as if some Conservatives are a lot less willing to be open to other ideas than Liberals are. That is probably the nature of the beast, so to speak. I consider myself to be more Liberal than Conservative, but there are a few issues that I won't budge on. But I won't waste my time trying to convince others that my view is the correct view.
I've gained some brownie points with my wife by arguing stuff with my brothers. But the reward wasn't getting my brothers to budge - it was my wife being happy that I stuck up for my beliefs :lol:
I think this is where grad school and modding has trained me well - I'm more confident in my beliefs now and more willing to stick it all out there - even if it makes me a bit less popular. Not that I ever was popular, but still.
That, and Helen also constantly tells me she wants me to be confident instead of wishy-washy :lol:
I agree with Helen. I hate wishy-washy people. It is a lot easier if you know where a person stands, even if you disagree with them, than to not know and be blind-sided by something that comes out of nowhere.
