Hey, I struck out the first time in the post but here goes.I am still new to the site, not to the field. I am a student looking to gain some prospective from people who care and listen to the world around them. I feel like the people I encounter start conversations, then get defensive if I dont agree with them. To me thats not a conversation it's an agreement. I now find myself taking the other side, even if I dont believe in it( as long as I am informed on both sides) just to make things interesting. Also I noticed the more I do that, it opens my opinions because I am defending a previously disagreeable point.
