Changing anothers Mind
I must be honest, I was truly supprised to recieve so much feedback on my last post. I wasn't expecting the volume that it produced. All of the comments left were great, and I would like to thank each of you for replying.
What I noticed was that I must not have been clear about what I was looking for, so I am going to try to clerify a little more, and try for a different aspect.
What I am looking for in this post will be how you try to change or persuade (for a nicer word) someone elses mind. From the comments in the last post on this, it seems that facts are what changed most peoples mind. Once it was laid out clearly, and aligned with the rest of history, you accepted it as truth. How do you share this proof with other people who do not believe it? What kind of tact do you take?
I am sure that this depends on many things, including your relationship with the person, and what their current beliefs are, so I understand the fact that it depends. If you would leave me your comments on strategy this would be great.
What I was trying to get at in the last post was along these lines. However instead of saying what HAD changed your mind, what would it take to change it again, now. That answer is surely "nothing", my question would be if that was your same mindset before? How secure are you in your beliefs, and what would it take to shake them, or maybe change them slightly? More truth? More evidence? Or is it just a different perspective?

A persons mind cannot be changed unless that person is WILLING to change. With many, facts do not matter. I have a friend who has had a crush on a certain female politician since she arrived on the scene with her husband. I've told him not to listen to what she says, but rather, what she does. Use this for every Pol. Yet, he cares not that she lies. She's HIS candidate, no matter what. Many are like that.
