Don't Like My Opinion?

D-Llama Says:
John Maynard Keynes once said "When the facts change, I change my opinion. What do you do, sir?"

So...don't like my opinion or point of view...? ---Don't hate me for what I say, how I feel, or my position on a given subject, rather, consider challenging me. Please, change my mind; enlighten me. We don't learn alternative thought without dialogue....

I couldn’t agree with you more on that last thought, Mr. Llama. But I will say that I don’t expect to always be liked or appreciated for the things I believe. Ladies and gentlemen, you may dislike or despise me for my cogitations, that’s fine. But allow me to have them – I’m happy for you to believe something else and I’m more than interested to hear what you think and why. But let’s agree to disagree, shall we? We don’t grow and stretch our minds until we’re willing to consider different perspectives. And who knows? If we keep it nice and friendly, you just might change my mind... "A man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still."
