What can change a persons beliefs

I've learned a lot from debating on these forums. One of the things that I learned is that its almost impossible to change someones beliefs. Even if you argue for days, contradicting them every time, they are always convinced they are right in the end. My philosophy is that I'm not debating to change the persons mind but rather I'm debating so others may use that to make an informed decesion. However, I'm still interested in learning if anyone has ever heard of anyone havign a complete 360 turn on their beliefs.
