I totaly agree! My math teacher in h.s. had a saying which i can't remember word for word, but was something like, 'if you can't get someone to hear your point of view within the first 5 minnutes of a conversation, they will never hear your opinion on the issue' or something like that. of course in order for this to be true, the person trying to explain their point of view needs to be polite and open minded as well.
