Would you ever admit your wrong?
I'm just wondering how many people on Apolyton would actually ever admit they've been beaten or that they were wrong.

Sure I'd admit it, I've been wrong many times, and sometimes in here too.

Where's the option "Yes, I can be wrong, and I actually admit it some of the time?"

Understatement of the day
I've NEVER seen you admit you're wrong, you always let the threads drop off the front pages.

This tactic you've also used a couple times, although the "sweep under the rug" tactic gets more use.

I'll admit when I'm wrong, but I've only been wrong once. That was the time when I thought I was wrong, but I was right.

If someone can convince my that I am wrong, then sure, I will admit it.
It is acceptable that people make mistakes.

But by refusing to concede that you are wrong, even when it is proven, just makes you look like an ass.

you got to be kidding. But again, you will never ever admit that this line by you is wrong.

you have a big fat plate in front of your head, which is ok, and you have the full right to live that way.
It's funny though to see that you seem to be thinking that you can see bright clearly

ok, this is a very insulting post, but UR begged for it.
I'm sorry for saying this already, but I can't be bothered to remove it.

"I actually admit it some of the time" buwhahahaha

I've admitted that I was wrong on several occasions. It's the right thing to do.

I would admit I was wrong if I was ever wrong.

But I'm a man. And men are never wrong

and thusly I have never been wrong.

See, thats another problem with the english language. So many words that mean almost the same thing. No wonder you have the most words in the world

(And yes, I will admit it ) Edit: (Some of the time )

If I were wrong on a point of fact, I would admit it.

If someone else thinks I am wrong that is their opinion and they can **** off (I hope that doesn't make me seem like Tony Blair on Iraq).
