In my opinion, being closed-minded is forcing that other people don't shove their opinions on oneself. However, I have been told by others that this is not, in fact, the case. Apparently, being closed-minded is not converting to any idea that is tossed out in front of you. To tell you the truth, as somebody perfectly happy right now, I'd rather not agree with everything. First, I don't believe that everything somebody else says is correct (though, granted, I'll respect their wisdom if they're courteous and gracious). Second, if you insist upon pointing out how wrong I am, could I please have a side order of extra-large facts with that? I know it costs about forty-cents and will make me fat, but I'd really like some background to both how wrong I am, and how right you are. Third, I admit that tragedies happen. I'm not surprised that some people have biases against religious groups, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, this does not allow you to mark me as a child-molesting "pompous ass" just because I'm religious. Indeed, I'm occasionally pretty obnoxious (I probably wouldn't be the first to point that out). I'm also mean as heck. But, personally, if you can take enough flak from a digital personality that it disturbs you, you should reconsider.
