well it's at that point where you walk away. She was looking at her friends, being all flustered, saying that the conversation was pissing her off.
I wasn't trying to be confrontational or anything or trying to prove that my point was right. I just wanted her to know that there is no clear cut answer for anything. For instance my roommate has an MBA, and he's waiting tables b/c he got laid off. Just b/c he has a degree doesn't guarantee wealth, as she was saying.
She was so close-minded, and wasn't even compromising anything at all... for such a minute conversation.
I think that at that point where I wanted to tell her that she was smoking too much crack.. I just said, "hey that's what I think, all i'm saying is that you don't need a degree to be rich."
it does resort to name calling when the other person just stops listening. But at the same time, is it worth having a conversation or getting hot over a conversation with someone who isn't open to other points of view?
it's like taking advice from someone who doesn't know what they are talking about (coworker thinks he's a good lover b/c his friends told him so, but yet he's never really slept with anyone yet). you gotta pick who have conversations with, or it'll just be like talking to a wall... that's just my opinion
