How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS

  1. PA
    2, Religion
  2. Life1

above 3 forums, in that particular order, are famous for debates that often turn into name calling, mudslinging and what not.

I sometimes wonder, what is the point of any argument when both parties decided up front, never to get convinced. Do you know of any incident when you got convinced and admitted that in the thread, or you were able to convince someone and the person admitted?

Please share that incident if you could. I am sure it would be quite value added for all of us.

I remember having convinced my husband about buying me a diamond ring via a Life1 forum thread. :chai:

Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS

TLK, you forgot to add WA to the list :)

Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS

Well no one can convince any one in PA for sure.

:hmmm: I do remember getting hit on my head by fry pan but dont remember that promise

Hahaha .. that is so true ..

Go for subliminal messaging next time, don’t say it explicitly… works a treat :fatee:

Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS

subliminal works with people who dont otherwise know how to pay attention :snooty:

Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS

I have been, and suppose I may have convinced a person or two :)

Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS

cant recall if I convinced anyone, but I have been convinced a couple of times in the religion forum

Yes, you convinced me on numerous occassions of your foolishness. :)

I often take pride in making others feel more intelligent. Thanks for recognizing that ability of mine. :)

Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS

hahaha, what u consistently convince me of is your engaging sense of humour. I dont think I can horse around like this with too many ppl on GS. a true fine gentleman.

although misguided about lobster for a decade now.

Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS

Why is the debate about shellfish in every part of GS!!!

Ok, so X2, give us the final ruling on this matter :hmmm:

Now I really have to figure out who the heck, hacked into your account :hehe:

Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS

^ because we take eating very seriously

X2 does not know a crab about shellfish ruling :stuck_out_tongue: .. (yes I know I used the word crab)

Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS

I've convinced a couple of people about either not getting involved in trouble or handling a problem in a certain way :) And I've been convinced by a couple of people as well.

the shellfish thing is an old old old debate I had with TLK how old u ask, 10 years ago :slight_smile: he called it haram and I asked him to prove that it is haram, its an inside joke now. NIksik being TLK’s wife knew this so in her thread when i mentioned shrimp she called it haram :slight_smile:

My verdict, u can eat lobster, crab or shrimp if you zabeeha them. :wink:

Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS

I was almost was convinced by someone who claimed to be a "good parent but also happened to be two timing his wife" - but then I changed my mind.

I don't think the point is to convince people of anything. You give them facts and a point of veiw and your perspective.

Isn't it their choice what to do with that information?
