It's really annoying when they ask your opinion on something, you say something they disagree with, they have nothing to back up their beliefs, yet they just end the conversation and never change their minds. Family asks me how I feel about landlords. I say they're leeches that contribute nothing and in the future, all tenants and workers should seize the property to live in it directly. "But they provide housing and maintenance!" I explain that the rent is far above the cost of maintenance, and the original price of the housing is irrelevant because the landlord gets to just sell the house eventually to recoup that investment. So they just end the conversation there (no counter argument at all!). No change of mind.
