[Size Nine Elm]

I am of the opinion that PH is populated by wierdos with strange viewpoints who never listen to a word I say.

I have not changed that opinion...

^Who said that?

And yes. I'm now sure the aircraft will take off...

[Muntu]

Yes, I agreed with 968 once.

Obviously I didn't publicise it at the time

In gaining that better understanding, my opinion often becomes more resolute!

For example, religion.

I used to not care about it, it didn't affect me. The more i am forced to acknowledge other peoples religions the more i learn about them and my opinion gets more and more anti.

So yes, my opinion can get changed by a thread, but it is not often a thread will make me reverse my position on something big, unless there is proof that i am wrong.

i still think you're a tit if keep incurring bank charges
i still think council houses shouldn't be sold at a discount but still don't have a problem with the people who 'take advantage' of this
...i do now think i wouldn't mind owning a scoobaru..!

[Sisyphus]

Absolutely, until fairly recently I didn't find st on cushions very funny at all

[The Black Flash]

Yes.

Though it's more common to refine / modify an opinion than change it fundamentally.

Are these two opinions not mutually exclusive??
