Oh yeah, totally. You're right. But I think that sometimes, even if you don't go into a conversation to have your opinion changed or challenged, the evidence and arguments against your stance may be so overwhelming that sticking to it would be insane. People do do that, but I don't think all of them will. I've admitted I was wrong before and I'm sure I'll do it again in the future.

But of course, it's the internet so most of the time it'll go as you said it'll go.

That's not true, you should go to the south.

Been there, done that.

People are always willing to listen if you understand and respect their beliefs.

Only then can you convince them of anything.

well, there are all different levels of learning. you can learn facts, and you can learn theories. it is almost impossible to avoid learning certain facts, no matter what you think about the theories explaining them (e.g., you will learn gravity works, no matter what you think of newtonian physics)

i think people can be persuaded to revise their thinking on theories. unfortunately, the ones who can't tend to be the loudest.

Prejudice is a stubborn refusal to accept certain information so as to hold onto an idea you refuse to reject. Can you overcome prejudice? Sure. But until you do, a prejudiced person is still refusing to learn, and will seek out new information that conforms to their prejudice.

Otherwise, I'm totally with mouse. You can hate Mexicans and refuse to accept anything that disagrees with your perception of them but still learn the capitol of New Jersey (semantic) or how to drive a tractor (procedural). Most people don't have opinions on the capitol of New Jersey or how to drive a tractor, though, so I assume Martian meant a more explicit type of learning.
