My overall outlook is that I’m not in the business of convincing a person to change his or her mind about issues that are deeply rooted, and at the same time, I know that no one is going to convince me to the point that I change my mind about issues that are deeply rooted. Also, and on many ways part of what I stated above, I don’t have a problem with people having their own perspectives on issues, even if and when they’re vastly different than my own. For those reasons, I agree with your stance; it’s pointless to argue with that particular goal in the forefront; changing of minds.
