When you talk to people there are three types:

1- Those that agree with you. 2- Those that don't and won't agree with you no matter what. 3- Those that don't have a well established opinion, yet.

Generally, I know group 1 and 2 are inmaterial. I tend to try and find those in group 3.

If you aren't going to accept that the world is round or other extremely self evident things... there's nothing I can do to make someone see it. Although by pointing out how ridiculous the flat world-ers are (or pro drug prohibitionists), I hope that maybe someone who is considering the flat world theory will see the other side.

Mostly stringent, crazy opinions are the loudest, so we need a sea of reason to counter act them.
