I don't like sharing
Miss Mimi is the consistently hardcore Marxist Liberal, so expect her to attack/try to change the mind of anybody who is not open-minded... which is the irony of all "open-minded" Marxist-Liberals.. so long as you agree with them!
And no, I'm not open minded to destructive influences upon my children or family.
I am WITH certain limitations :)
Get really annoyed when some people try to influence new social or unsocial trends.

There is a link in the end, rather then replying here on forum, just check out, and post the results here, so that we know how racist, nationality/West basher, narrow minded person you are? :D
But i thought you were married already :0(
they??????
this is what they told me...!!
You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints.
all r following ur steps...lols
So there are only few openminded people in here..:)
Manna Pro - "Seeing women kiss is like the most beautiful, natural, wondefull thing I've ever seen in my life" "I hope I can find one over there to keep me company"
You will have to find 2, not 1, so you can watch them kiss.
I always thought of being an open minded person, but after reading your post I realized how narrow minded i am... :P
The list is missing -
25. Do you accept and respect your fellow humans right to whatever opinion he/she might want to have on Points 1 to 24?
If the answer is yes, then you are truly open minded.
Seeing women kiss is like the most beautiful, natural, wondefull thing I've ever seen in my life and see'ing men kiss is like coming up to a tremendous car wreck with fatalities..
I just love women, I just love everything about them. I hope I can find one over there to keep me company
Im concerned
Iam more of a pragmatist than being an open minded person. Things like these wouldn't bother me if they didn't affect me or the society I live in. But in the long run, most of them do...
I'm off for a swim in the lagoon.
Ok. Right, I'm off to the pub
How dare you even suggest that?
adey,I only have a vague idea about that movie/book....am not very interested in the popular stuff, sorry.
You're not a Fifty Shades of Grey type of girl?
Could not care less about what other people do. As long as they don't expect me to conform.
ADEY.........tut tut & you an English teacher too!
Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias or myside bias) is a tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses
Each to their own :))
Im 72 open minded. Issues I didn't agree on
Drugs being legalized.
Two men kissing in public
Everyone is a little bisexual
Not being bothered by public nudity
My mind changing on issues about war and abortion.
Be something to tarot card reading and fortune telling.
You are so open minded that your brain may have fallen out!
Well, not really. But you may be confused on where you stand.
You don't have a judgmental bone in your body, and you're very accepting.
You enjoy the best of every life philosophy, even if you sometimes contradict yourself.
Called confirmation bias.............'Myside bias' appears to be a made up word.
Huh! Just being a bit pedantic today .
in that case most of Ql shows Myside Bias :O(
Open-mindedness is the willingness to search actively for evidence against one’s favored beliefs, plans, or goals, and to weigh such evidence fairly when it is available.
Being open-minded does not imply that one is indecisive, wishy-washy, or incapable of thinking for one’s self. After considering various alternatives, an open-minded person can take a firm stand on a position and act accordingly.
The opposite of open-mindedness is what is called the myside bias which refers to the pervasive tendency to search for evidence and evaluate evidence in a way that favors your initial beliefs. Most people show myside bias, but some are more biased than others.
"... the only time that people think about God are either when the get married, or when they get divorced."
I thought about God when I was five or six years old. It made no sense to me. When I married, and when I divorced, I thought about sex.
This long list of questions make a sense ? We can be open-minded and have morality and our own opinion ! being open-minded is more the fact of accepting differences than
agree with them.
i whole heartedly agree with all of them!!! jst dont do ANY of it on my shift!!!!!!!!! lol
Open Minded ?
Open Minded implies tolerance. However this tolerance should NOT be extended to filth and filthy behavior. Its one thing to be open minded to tasting other cuisines and being tolerant of opposing political ideology. However, it's a totally different matter to be tolerant of immorality and exhibits of immoral behavior.
The western world has confused tolerance with stupidity and hence this is what is leading to the passage of laws that allow same gender marriages, unabashed adultery and drug culture. In most western cultures, the importance of religion has diminished and the only time that people think about God are either when the get married, or when they get divorced.
Indeed, this is a pathetic state of affairs.
hahahahaha zifah, you're so funny but we will tolerant your outburst. I do find your words immoral though.

Agree MN. I said yes to 18 & 24, because who knows, I may change my mind between now and when I'm 95. (not likely, but still).
Being open-minded means being willing to consider ideas that you don't currently accept or know about. But "considering" ideas doesn't mean ignorantly accepting them.
You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded.
Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints.
But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line.
You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.
1.It doesn't bother you to see two men kissing. - Nope
2.There's nothing wrong with an 18 year old dating at 45 year old. - As long as they are both consenting to the relationship, nope.

9.You don't think any one religion is better than any other. - I think they are all equally foolish.
10.You aren't offended by off color jokes - even racist or sexist ones. - Nope.
11.You aren't bothered by public nudity. - Not at all.
12.You think that everyone is probably a little bisexual. - Yes I do.
13.You don't think less of someone who is on welfare.- No I don't.
14.You could potentially be friends with anyone, even someone you may dislike intensely right now. - Sure, why not.
15.You will try any type of food, even if it's very exotic and strange smelling. - I would love to, but smell is a factor cause I have an iffy tummy with smells.
16.You are open to debating your beliefs at almost any time, with anyone. - Sure.
17.You think there may be something to astrology, tarot, and fortune telling. - Sure, why not? If you believe in God, why not this stuff?

19.You listen to (and appreciate) all types of music. - I do.
20.You can appreciate trends without worrying about feeling trendy. - I buy my clothes at Carrefour. But I totally get the thick glasses thing.
21.You think that it's possible that people have had contact with aliens. -I think they have!
22.You would engage someone from a strange religion who was going to door to door. - I always wanted a Jeovah's Witness to come to my door.

FS, snake tastes like chicken. I had some in Vietnam. Scorpion tastes like paste. I didn't really like it.
You are perfectly right, FS!!
This is how to be corrupted minded

There is a huge difference between being open minded and just gullible.
The only person here who agree with all these is LP..:)
Nope, not open minded at all. Don't agree with half of the things here.
I am quite narrow minded as per the above and I am not ashamed too :)
MOst of them .."out of Box"
Ummm, the only one's I'm a bit iffy on are 5 & 15. I think that drugs need to be strongly monitored, especially drugs like heroin and crack.
I also refuse to eat smelly insects.
