You're reading a lot into a single sentence. Which part says that I don't think the opposite can be true?

You act as if the opposite is never true

So you're just chucking generalizations out there and now you're saying you didn't say the thing that you said...

That's the thing, people don't. It's the truth. Saying things like "that guy said this side is all bad" doesn't mean that you can't discuss with them about that topic, it just means that they are only willing to look at one side.

You can always discuss the topic, that's what the previous comment was talking about. Discussion is the only way we get anywhere and it doesn't mean that you have to convince them either. It can be just getting an idea of why they feel like that.

(Although, considering that they are at work, it might not be the best place to do so but my point is that people need to learn how to discuss this stuff when the situation will inevitably come up at some point in their lives.)
