You can’t win an argument by being wrong. If you “lost” an argument it behooves you to at least consider the other person’s points. Two people can broth be right and still disagree.
Me, I’ve never “lost” an argument. I’ve either made myself understood or I haven’t, and at some point that’s on the other person. And I’ve either come to understand the other person’s point or I haven’t, which again at some point is on them. But being the one to change your mind isn’t losing, it’s learning.
Even if you’re right, if you don’t defend your point of view well enough, you might lose.
The person I was arguing with claimed that circumcision was a good thing because the U.S. is a country with an advanced healthcare system and circumcision is widespread there.
I couldn’t come up with a proper response; I just said it was due to Jewish influence, but that was wrong. Later, I realized that this was a cultural thing
