We've all had those conversations... when you know you're right but the person you're arguing against is dead set against agreeing you no matter how manyc ontradictions you point out in their argument and they ignore or how illogical their views are. Now, feel free to contribue! Mind you, some of these sayings are genuine responses to certain situations... but let's bring some up that you've heard at ends of arguments where the person just didn't want to concede being wrong.
For example:
"Well that's just your opinion" (which is odd because why are you trying to say I am wrong if it's all supposedly just opinion)
"Well other people agree with me so there"
"I don't care if it doesn't make sense, I'm right so there"
"Maybe if you were a little more open-minded..."
special for you IR and TD people:
"People use to say Einstein was wrong"
"Well your theory is as plausible as mine" (after being shown how non-plausible it is of course)
"I don't care what your theory says"
I heard that last one last night. Someone said "I don't believe in the speed of light theory". I responded "what about SR don't you understand". Of coures, the response was "What's SR?"
So what kinds of responses have you heard from people? What kind of responses just make you kick yourself for wasting 30 minutes arguing with someone to hear them basically say that they don't care if their argument is wrong or completely inconsistant, they're still right.
