it usually involves my wife in some way...
in debate however if given a rational, coherent, well thought out argument, I do my best to reconcile the differences between my standpoint and the other person's. I have been quite wrong before, and most certainly will again, but rationality is the key to getting me to change my mind

Here's my view of things:
First of all, I will always believe that I'm right initially. After all, if I don't think I'm right...then why do I hold that opinion? However, I am open to hearing new information that may change my view that I'm right. In fact, that seems like a natural function of interacting with other people and other things, and a thing that should happen not just on a daily basis but on a moment-to-moment basis.

I voted a couple of times a month.
I will admit I'm wrong when someone steps up with some good old common sense in a more or less civilized manner. I can quote instances on these here forums where I have openly admitted to being wrong.
For the record, I've never heard Woodruff admit he was wrong. If cornered, he resorts to either redirecting the conversation or lashing out.

i will frequently admit to myself that i am wrong, and attempt to correct my own miconceptions. however, i will almost never admit to other people that i am wrong, because most other people are wrong far more often than i am, and they do not deserve to have the right to judge me for being wrong.
i think that a lot of people act in a similar fashion.

Why woodruff, I should wash your filthy mouth out with soap!
To be accurate the links provided seem to be examples of you admitting to making mistakes, not being wrong.
Funkyterrance wrote:Show me some examples of you admitting that you were seeing an issue solely from your own side, talking out of your ass and were proven wrong, end of discussion. If you can do this,you may find me admitting to being wrong about you. Until then, I stand by my judgement.
