depends on the drugs.

Dunno, but I like your Rothko avatar.

Honesty!

Voltaire was right on that one.

Im fairly unshakable in my beliefs and what i think is right and wrong, acceptable/not acceptable and would probably argue it till im blue in the face

I'm fairly single minded on some thing... and i won't budge ... but others i like to Hither and morph and thither! 

I don't think it's healthy to never consider your beliefs now and then.  Learning to accept shades of grey is good too, I find people who think in black and white constantly make me want to wring their necks.  They are liking walking talking Daily Expresses.

Then again, there are some things I'll probably never be shifted on, but you still have to have a think about it now then, if only to reaffirm your position.

My favourite (only!) bit of getting older is seeing much more grey now (not just in my hair) on most things...not all though, I've a hard time finding excuses for bigotry.

You certain about that?

Certainly am, and I'm unshakeable in that. Love his paintings

I never knew Reagan was grassing his mates up to McCarthy et al.  What a twat.

Certainly am, and I'm unshakeable in that. Love his paintings

Rothko Room @ the Tate is one of my favourite places on Earth.

My core values have remained all my life, but I do find that the older I get the more I can contemplate other views even if I don't agree with them. There is no real certainty of anything, we are all fishing around and clinging onto whatever we might believe or hope for. I tell you what though, if I'm wrong with my atheist's views, I shall come and haunt this forum just so you all know there's a life after death.

John Wayne did too. Can't stand the guy.

Many (most) young people think they have all the answers.
Later in life they realise they don't.
Change is one of life's certainties.
But it is the learning as we go through life which teaches us what matters.
I am unshakeable on the value of true friends,
I am willing to listen on most other things.
