Yep, I still wouldn't change my moral position from the other day you're complaining about. Posting my beliefs here doesn't mean I'm looking for someone to convince me to change my mind. I'm stating my beliefs!

To be frank, if you're shouting "Hey everyone, I'm so sure of my beliefs that nothing is going to change my mind", good for you, but nobody cares. There are plenty of other places where you can broadcast your obliviousness to new information. HN is not one of them, given that "curiosity" is highlighted as a prime motivator for this site.

Why state your beliefs? Are you hoping to convince someone else to change their mind? How arrogant.

Or are you simply shouting into the void? We are not the void, and we don't appreciate the shouting.

It was a discussion about culture and tradition. My statement was that I believe it's morally wrong to circumcise boys. 0 shouting. He's called me oblivious, and apparently I shouldn't have the right to comment if I'm not willing to change that belief.
