I often go with my gut feelings on any issue, but I always look at every point made in debate, even if I feel that idea may be wrong.
One occasion (rare), a point comes up that makes me change my opinion as I find evidence to suggest I was wrong on the issue.
The last big one was about illegal drugs.
I still maintain drug use is daft, but I've softened my stance on part of the issue. I used to suggest mandatory prison for all users and death for all dealers, but I now realise users have soft boiled eggs for brains, so should be sent to enforced rehab.
I'm well known for my support of Palestine against Israel, but far less well known for being against Hamas and all attacks against civilians, even though I've made that clear many times.
I see it this way, you can support an ideal without supporting others who hold the same ideal, but are violent and anti social.
However, unlike many, I support right against wrong, even if my normally preferred side are wrong, and I'm willing to say so.
The question is, can you put ideologies aside and condemn fault on your side, or do you just support anything that side does, regardless of how wrong it might be?
