I'm really curious about this. I come across so many folks who are very concerned about being "right", to the point where they will not admit being wrong. Even after facts are presented. And, I'm not just speaking about religion, I'm speaking about everything.

I'll admit being wrong to things I've never said, just to avoid confrontation, but, I'm kooky like that.

So what say you? Do you have a hard time eating crow?

I put sometimes because it totally depends on whether or not I feel as if I've been attacked or made fun of. If I feel like either one of those things are going on I totally buckle up and won't admit I'm wrong. Such a terrible thing I know... If it's an open and kind situation, I have no problem admitting I'm wrong.

:) Joyful

You'll laugh because I know this is semi directed at me, but I put absolutely. I'll admit when I'm wrong. However, even when "facts" are presented to me, I must understand it in my head first before I yeald my possition.

You can't admit you're wrong, when in your mind you're right.

Honestly, Jake, it wasn't semi directed at you. :) I swear! I've not spent a whole lot of time here recently. It was more of a general curiousity, although there does seem to be a LOT of hard headed people around these parts. lol_grin.gif

I find that crow tastes better with fresh cracked pepper, sea salt and a little lime squeezed over it. And copious amounts of a nice pinot grigio...

I too Kilroy am familiar with the taste of crow. It's even better if it's alive.

I don't admit to being wrong I just violently swing between positions.

It's a lot more fun to find creative ways to make what you originally said look like what you didn't mean it to say.

Yes, but if it is a spiritual matter it takes the Holy Spirit to slug me to get me to move. :lol:

My choice wasn't there.

I would have picked "I don't know."

If I ever am wrong, I see how I handle it.

I've been waiting a very long time.... LOL

I am not a hard-headed person, but I am thorough...and even if a good debate is presented to me...I won't admit I am wrong right away. Not because I am proud, but because I need to think things through and be sure. I know, however, that the worth of my opinions don't speak of my character per se...so when it's time to 'face the music' it's a really pretty segue into a new melody as opposed to a nasty form of dissonance. :)

I have to admit that I am wrong. My husband is extremely stubborn (more so than I am - if that is even fathomable), and in order to keep our marriage sane one of us has to admit being wrong (whenever that happens, of course). :)

That does not mean, however, that I admit I'm wrong when I really don't think I am just for the sake of peace. Oh no. But luckily I have been blessed with the grace of humility, something that I have needed for about 21 years of my life but have only recently started to learn.

i absolutely HATE admitting I am wrong. In the heat of an argument, I'll argue til I'm blue in the face rather than admit being wrong. Then later when I've cooled off and realized I AM wrong (I am alot, lol) then I go and grovel for forgiveness. I'd make life alot easier for myself if I learned to admit being wrong right away.

I don't eat salty food or drink wine. :(

Is there a good BBQ recipe for crow with beer? :huh: I think Kathlikos will be sending me a kettle of crow. :unsure:
