Is it possible to expect people to show the weakness of being wrong? Or changing their view?

We have posters here that, from I can tell, act like any number of other cyber-forums.
Sarcasm is called lies. Mean stuff is inaccurately referred to as sarcasm. Analogies taken out of context.

Things that are just pounded home day after day. Useless for the most part except to try to needle someone.
Sure, there are times when a "reminder" makes sense. Priceless stuff.
Most of it ain't priceless though.

Once in a great while when someone admits they were wrong a modicum of respect is shown.
Maybe even a greenie or two. So why is it so rare?
Is being an infallible Chatroom Champ really that enticing?

There many examples of all this crap but I'm starting out neutral.

Is there an example of you leading by example?

It would have quite an impact, coming from a Mod of your stature...

If Fonzi couldn't say the word.......maybe that was pre-internet foreshadowing.

Ok....I'll lead...


I was wrong a couple of years ago.

@*HooooeyVagina asked me where I believed surveys of Presidential scholars would rank the Biden presidency.

I suggested he would be ranked in the low to mid 20s.

@*HooooeyVagina was right to scoff at my prediction.

I was wrong.


 

That was really cathartic.

I was wrong for calling Blackvegetable a Karl Marx worshiping Communist. 

No, wait, I wasn't wrong about that.

The difference between you and I is I admit when I am wrong.  In the very instance you do admit you are wrong it is not because you are rarely wrong.  It took you MONTHS, literally months, to adit PK was a mistake.  You ran and ran from that one.  You still have not admitted Biden was wrong, was lying, make the 5x comment.  And you still have not admitted it was not a gun in pieces.

That is just to name a few.  You blame others, you lie, and basically are a dishonest POS.  If your daughter thinks you are wonderful she too is a POS.

Just stating the facts.

It is rare because I don't stick my neck out or shove my nose into things of which I am unfamiliar. You are a perfect example of posters that could never admit to a change of heart as alluded to directly in the OP.

A perfect example is your unwavering support of an incompetent and fully incapable president even as his decline became more and more evident. You are sort of a Joe Scarborough here. Many posts, very frequently wrong-headed, unable to admit to anything... A true Chatroom Champ.

Also, your post is a great example of your predictable "accuse others of that which you are guilty".
Thank you for participating.

Your grief, shallow as it is, still is grief. An admission of this type will help you sleep at night.
Thank you for your support.

Anyone serving a reality isn't neutral about how evolving actually happens in plain sight. Almost every mind follows a faith life exceeds adapting eternally separated by genetic position alive now as traditionally believed over the last 400 generation gaps lived in time debating anything else is possible.

those that challenge humanity as a whole disappear one way or another. Ignored, shunned, exiled, executed, by the minority in charge of what majority believes true, from day in and to day out.

No, seriously...

I guess that's why you're nener haunted by your words...

the Colt AR-15 and M16 rifle family of weapons produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company. Weapons patterned on the original ArmaLite AR-15 design


How many families?

How many designs?

Obviously this is not an act of Reflection. 


Since you're never wrong.

So at whom is this directed?
 

I had a different view of the version of the holocaust and the world's relationship with Jewish people.
Over time, and due to some thoughtful commentary here in NHB, I researched a bit more.

My view has changed to a slightly less brainwashed outlook on the topic.
I believe it to be much more truthful and more logical now.
IOW I was wrong and feel I had some facts and sources revealed because I paid attention here.
There are some folks that make more sense than others.

When you admit you are wrong, you have to define what made you wrong in the first place. Reality's time management of social outcomes daily or real time daily living just adapting since conceived in series parallel positions of ancestry limited to adapting to life dawn to dusk every rotation alive since [personally added to life by genetic outcomes so far.

An example of something being "right".

Scientists basically agree on a couple of universal truths.
1) Big Bang Theory - 13 billion years ago the universe was a speck of unimaginable energy. Hence, the origin of The Bang.
2) Observable Universe - We can only "see" as far 13 billion light years because light further out than that hasn't had time enough to reach us yet. As such we don't know how much further any limit to the universe actually is.

So, the Big Bang, 13 billion years ago, is predicated on running the "movie" of the universe in reverse and projecting its age.
How do we know this would ever end if we don't know the actual limit?
The "movie" running in reverse may never stop if there isn't any limit to the universe. We haven't seen that limit.

The best we can say is the universe is at least 13 billion years old. It may have no age at all.
What is right when you only "know" just so much...?

Admitting you may have learned something because a post got you thinking is not a sign of weakness.
I PG'd a couple of your posts because you can't seem to grasp the slightest hint of that notion.
