Well, I could point out how China recently blocked all of the protest videos on youtube for tibet. I think if they thought it was possible to regulate your beliefs, they probably would have laws dictating that. Of course, a question this raises, is if you have a belief, but can never say it out loud, is it really your belief?

But in reference to the original question, it is possible to change your beliefs in a single day, provided you have new informaton or specific motivation behind those beliefs, otherwise it would take a great deal of time to change a belief without any reason at all.


 Right. So you think beliefs can be changed because of information? Do you also think that beliefs are the results of the rational structuring of information? It seems like they would have to based on some rational structure of information if a new piece of information could change the belief.
