RE: "most people refuse to learn new facts or admit that their old notions are incorrect"
This is one thing that really surprises me. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary they will stick with their tired old arguments. Just like debating my father!
RE: "Everybody agreeing that I was 100% correct 100% of the time would get old fast!"
I heard you thought you were wrong once but you were mistaken. LOL!
And I love their "arguments". "I can't find anything in WalMart that's made in America". "We don't make anything in America anymore" That's not even an argument. More like a rant or whine.
