"I absolutely do not think that people can change" - Stacey
Can a leopard change its spots?
Whether you like it or not, it is inevitable. Our bodies change, our relationships change, our minds change, our knowledge about something frequently changes, our skills and interests change, actually, almost everything changes at least once throughout life.
However, when it comes to people - do you think people can change?
The answer to that question for one half of your fav duo on East Coast Radio is a resounding:, NO!

That hot take was sparked by the team's caller topic on Thursday afternoon: What belief or opinion will you defend to the end of time?

For Stacey Norman, human beings fundamentally do not change who they really are. A statement that J Sbu not only completely disagrees with, but finds very problematic.
I think that is such a blanket statement, People can change and I am a prime example of that- I have unlearned probelmatic behaviour so I disagree with Stacey's views completly.
Stacey thinks that changing is one thing, but changed behaviour is something separate of that and most people do not understand the latter of that statement.
I think you are who you are and you make amendments to suit you or the situation you are in. People often seem to be confusing “change” with “improvement and introspection.
Okay... it is safe to say that Stacey and J Sbu are unlikely to budge on their views with regards to the above.
