I used to be very much against organ donation but have moderated my views somewhat. I am still not completely on board, by my thoughts are changing . . .
Queueing, I used to shuffle my feet but now my stance is firm & bristling with anticipation for what lies ahead.
Apparently, when you have sex with someone, it’s common courtesy to make sure they orgasm as well, so I make sure I do that. :/

I change my mind about things all the time, including political and scientific issues. The same is probably true of any rational thinking person.
I was once a bible belt, gun toting, right wing Baptist, now I’m a tolerant, politically moderate/neutral, nihilistic atheist, still gun toting though.
^^ Similar to what he said, without the atheist part. I also used to be completely anti-gay. Now I want them all to get married and adopt babies.
Sure. An example I gave recently was my stance on the 2nd amendment. I’m not crazy about it, but I accept that the way it’s worded does give the average citizen the right to own a gun.
Ohhhh yeah. I went through an oddly intolerant phase in middle school. Probably because I was just so annoyed with everyone surrounding me (middle schoolers are so annoying, not that I was an exception or anything), but a few of my gems were:
– believing drug/alcohol use was morally wrong
– believing consentual sex at a young age was morally wrong
– extreme intolerance towards personalities that annoyed me (“emo” kids, airheadedness, etc.)
These days I am faaaaaaaar more “live and let live” and so long as you’re not hurting anyone else, I really don’t care what you’re doing.
I’ve changed my stance on the death penalty (I’m now against it), gay marriage (now support it), abortion rights (now support them), I used to support gender roles (now I oppose these vividly), I used to oppose the necessity of government enforced enviromental regulations (now I support these within reason), I used to oppose any types of taxation just about (now I just question what we should be using this money on and cutting unnecessary spending) and I used to be a devoted Christian turned nontheist, who is now a secular dualist.
