True, but if you have first doubts i think it's more likely to prove that you are wrong. Not "could be". Sounds like you have a preset notion of Pino's character? And I'd bet you accuse others of doing what your doing. Why are you capable of "enlightening" and Pino not?

no, admiting that i could be wrong is whats considered "intellectual honesty", being stubborn doesn't make an argument any more valid!

I think Pino could enlighten me on certain topics but i don't think social issues or polotics is one of those topics, but of course this is just my oppinion.

Yes it is, doesn't make it right or wrong just like his don't. "intellectual honesty" would not put you above it all as your statement would indicate. How do you expect to enlighten anyone if you will not yield common ground? IMO your the one being stubborn.

yes but it's better to be true to myself and be wrong than it is to lie to myself and still be wrong...and yes i'm stubborn sometimes, we all are! but honestly i don't think me and pinochet have common ground, the only thing we ever agreed on was that Loose Change is a bunch of crap....but even then he didn't enjoy agreeing with me.

Common ground goes a little further then that. And it has nothing to do with agreeing with anyone. You admit you are stubborn too but yet pino needs "enlightening?"

Your social relationship with pino lacks the ability to discuss because you cannot comprehend where he comes from, there for you have no common interests. Classic symptoms of failure to yield common ground IMO.

common ground - Definitions from Dictionary.com

From the same link: common ground
n. A foundation for mutual understanding: "The leaders failed to find common ground on the defensive side of this possible bargain" (McGeorge Bundy).

noun
a basis agreed to by all parties for reaching a mutual understanding

So do you think you and pino have a mutual understanding? IMO no, hence no "common ground".

Why are you in this thread, did you not understand the title? Is this how you define compassion?

What? he can't take a little criticism?

The thread isn't about taking criticism? It's about why you like him. A compassionate person like yourself can't come up with one statement on topic?

no where is it stated that i have to agree with the topic stated! by your logic i could theroreticly start a thread called "Why Pinochet is stupid" and theroreticly no one could disagree with me for fear of going off-topic....see what i'm saying?

"theroreticly" not, that's a personal attack and not allowed. Got another example?

That's irrelevent! the point is that you don't have to agree with the topic statement!
