I don't think people can change who they are fundamentally, but you can change the perception of who you are through your behavior. Take someone who does drugs for instance. Say someone is a coke head, does a lot one night, has a heart attack and nearly dies. This episode my scare them straight and they may never do coke again and appear to be an upstanding member of society by those around them, but does the desire to do drugs ever really go away? Sure they can be supressed through will power, but that doesn't really change who the person is, it only changes their behavior.

Care to elaborate?

I feel like when some people "change" not only is it a very gradual process, but the amount of change exists in varying degrees. Most people do not make a complete one eighty, but I am sure there are examples of it out there. I would say some people who do change only do so to a certain degree.

For example, a lot of my friends from high school have changed. (College student) When I see them at first I feel like they are completely different people, but then I realize the person I knew is still in there they just have modified themselves. So yes I would say people definitely can change, but usually it is a moderate amount compared to a complete change

I 100% believe that yes, people can change. I think we are a reflection of the society we find ourselves in. If you change that, you yourself will change too, I think. Perhaps you won't totally change, but I think your surroundings can change your beliefs and your habits etc.

I used to work shift work and working 12 hour shifts with the same people for a few years, you'd be amazed on how the majority of the people would almost mold together as one.

So, yes, I believe your surroundings and the people you interact with etc can change who you are.

Men don't change.

Took me a long time to learn this and I am still learning it.

They just. don't. change.

It's just not men, all mankind. You have to want to change.

Outside factors influence in who you are and were we are going.

It's like Curly (Jack Palance) in City Slickers to Billy Crystal's character.

I think people change. I don't think you can make someone change. I think something has to happen to flick the switch in them.

You are 100% correct. No one person can change another person. Period.

If a person can change, only that individual can change themself. I have seen it happen to someone personally. They did a complete 360.

      Latest video I wrote is out. While I try to write with no bias, I have to say I am not 100% sure that the right guy was convicted. Let me know what you think.

      I quite literally have said multiple times this week that Bryce did not play well on Sunday. What in the world are you even talking about? Jesus Christ son, at least pretend to have a grip on reality rather than trying to constantly make yourself the victim. Hell, look at you now pretending to be victimized by poo emojis and the ignore function because of your views on the QB. I don't give a poo if you like Bryce Young and have had no issues interacting with other posters that are done with him. You, however, cannot have a difference of opinion without resorting to insults. Case in point, your very first response to me in this thread. That is what got you put on ignore and poo emoji'd: you acting like a shithead. We've had this back and forth multiple times now where you say I don't like you because you don't like Bryce, I clarify that I just don't like your engaging in bad faith and acting like a bitchy little teenager whenever your perspective is challenged. I thought that maybe, just maybe we could start the season off on the right foot and have an exchange of ideas without the weird sexual tension or whatever it is that has you all hot and bothered whenever you see my name. Clearly, I gave you too much credit. Back to the toilet you go.

      It's a QB driven league, which means that all of the parts surrounding the QB have to be in order. No OL? QB isn't going to have time to throw or be able to hand it off. No weapons? Won't matter how well they play, can't catch it for them. Bad coaching? They're not the ones designing and calling plays. Football is one of the ultimate team sports. All 11 players need to be in sync rather than one player being dominant (imo). Hell, even with Tom Brady, not a single one of his rings came without a top-10 defense on the other side of the ball or a top-10 OL in front of him. I can understand people having lost patience with Bryce, especially starting off on the wrong foot for the third season in a row. That's not an issue. The issue I have is with folks being intentionally misleading and attempting to tell other posters what they're not allowed to talk about. Considering how often Red has claimed others have done this to him it is interesting at best, disingenuous at worst for him to turn around and do the same.
