Arguing both sides?

I can usually see the point of view of others and may change my mind, or think harder about why I hold the view that I do.

can you remember the bots who had an argument and ended up arguing about being unicorns?

So if I initially told you it is cold today Galaxy how could I then make myself believe the opposite?! Brrrr!

I listened to podcast recently where they did that, took the opposite point of view from what they actually believed, and argued the case. I didnt think it really worked, I could tell they were pretending to 'believe' so to speak.

I think it depends on the subject. If we were talking pros and cons of something then I could see both sides.

I can understand someone's feelings without understanding their point of view

I do change my mind about things a lot, I grew up in a very erm... Non PC household so massive changes there

Some opinions/situations I just cannot relate too.

Basically I don't know really lol

Definitely, it doesn't help to be too rigid or dogmatic.

Oh except when it comes to anyone being unkind about dogs!

You can only really grow as a person if you listen to other people's point of view, even if you don't agree with it. Hopefully it helps you see the whys and wherefores. I think most people are appalled by extremes though?

It depends on the topic as there are some I feel more passionate about than others. I have been known to change my mind when a good argument has been put forward that makes me re think my position, especially when clear evidence is produced.

IMO it isn't really possible to do an argument justice if you don't believe in what you're arguing for or against.
