MODERATORS
Why is it likely that their opinion has not changed? I, for one, change my opinion if I find it doesn't suit me anymore
If someone voted against a topic like this so many feel so strongly about I think it would be hard to change their minds. What could I say to convince you otherwise on this topic?
It's hard to change opinions when religion and lead have rotted your brain
Or a liberal. Liberals are the same.
I know, but the funny thing is that this place is very traditional and religious... In paper.
So you're implying that an opinion may be subject to change unless one had already voted on some matter based off of that opinion thus committing to following that opinion for the rest of one's life?
Not at all, I said that people are on one side of this topic, and it showed in the actual votes they placed. Then with a 5/4 vote in the supreme Court the government told them their opinion didn't matter. That alone will make someone loath the decision and keep their opinions. I've made myself very clear, and I think everyone here understands my point perfectly, some don't agree with it, to them I say, whatever.
Well, you can count me out, I did not understand your point perfectly, not sure about the rest.
