I kind of got the idea from TJ, the Amazing Atheist, in his video of five questions to VFX.
So, what have you changed in convictions or opinion since your entry to LoR, or even YouTube? Please be specific if it is YouTube, as I assume most will talk about in LoR. Maybe you were not decided on a subject, maybe you had never thought of something, maybe you were completely converted by someone. I think some of these might be interesting.
Personally, I had not thought too much on the death penalty pretty much because I thought it too complicated and just pushed away for later consideration. However, after the recent thread on it here, I have become more supportive of rehabilitation and against the penalty.
Also, I think people, mostly Ozymandyus, have helped me better understand and solidify concepts of objective morality.
Another would be better defining my stance on drug legalization.
Last that I can think of from LoR is from dealing with conversing with others, I have better learned how to stay on topic and try to keep personal distractions to a minimum.
As for YouTube, it helped me better understand why atheism, science and whatever else actually matters via Thunderf00t, gogreen18 (ugh...), theAmazingAtheist, potholder54, etc. etc.
Also with YouTube is obviously better understanding countless bits of science from astronomy, evolution, chemistry, physics, geology, paleontology, taxonomy, blah, blah, blah - as I am sure most people here would confess.
