Yeah but are you questioning their opinion for the sake of trying to at least accept in part what their defending and truly understand not necessarily agree with what one is saying or are you questioning their opinion to see if you can manipulate or influence a kmchange in their original thought ... one is healthy the other is satanic with a pinch of veritas... I understand making someone dig deeper into an opinion to see how strong it truly is, I do it all the time... personally I form my own opinions on a variety of topics but I stay open minded to what others have to say, I don't like what a lot of people like all the time and ill defend my opinions to the bone when fitting ... I also agree ignorance travels in abundance and fhe feeble minded almost always follow the sheep but that's no reason to keep a negative outlook ... theirs beauty in imperfections
