Rant about Close minded

Okay if the title confuses you let me clarify, I really hate people using the phrase "close minded" it drives me nuts. It has got to be the worst defense for a viewpoint I have ever heard. People use it as if it unbeatable but let me clarify something for you. definition of opinion and close minded are exactly the same. You cant be Open minded it not possible Why? you may ask.

Well think about it there really is no true neutral side to a debate or argument is there. You choose a side, either you are for it or against something. On the fence is an utterly pointless statement cause it's not true. The instant you try to not get involved is a chose, thus you closed your mind to said topic. See how the phrase was used, see how loosely it can be thrown about. Wonder why i'm being all whinny about this

 

Iif you care click the spoiler otherwise my rant is done

 

I'm probably going to get angry comments about this but I am Christian -_- man i can hear the dogs barking already. Why is this an important fact to point out. Well i'm just going to say this i'm against the whole gay/lesbian thing. There I said it. Thus close minded comes up all the dam time... and thus why I got ticked about this phrase. Look people can have their views on things and just because i'm religious does not invalidate my viewpoint more then it does the other side of the debate. And pulling out the "oh your close minded" card is the worst retort I've heard over and over. And yes I did walk into a hornest nest with this comment but hey i put this into a spoiler so it your own fault for clicking it.

A lot of people tend to use the term improperly, but looks like you don't understand it either. When someone is open minded, he is ready to consider someone elses opinions, or is ready to accept something new. It doesn't mean he has to accept it. It just means he considers. You can be open minded and have a strong opinion.

 

Liberals tend to use this as an argument, while they are the ones who are close minded themselves.
