"Well, to be frank… anyone who needs to publicly display something which is private must have some serious doubts or attention-problems."
I completely agree.
I'd hate to walk out into the street and see a couple doing the horizontal hip check. Infact, that's one thing you should all be prepared for. When the cure for AIDS is released? F*cking in the streets, trust me.
maybe because they understood that the real jesus and his disciples were gay, a fact the church would never accept and if evidence came along they would go to whatever means possible to destroy those evidence, cause if they were public it would ruin the power and wealth of the church.
I never said that gays are mass-murderers... That was just an example of how Alpha Centuri define open-minded, and I was proving what is wrong in his definition/open minded?
And for you to say lunacy, that is what I meant, when I first read that "Accepting new things IS open minded"... just justifying myself...
By the way, I define open minded as people who follows the fashion of thinking. And I define narrow minded as people who chose to stop fashioning their thought to fit society base on their conscience and loyalty.

It is possible.
Oh yeah your definiton of open minded sucks Peter
You are saying that people that are narrow minded don'T go with society and belive in there own things. Well that is Bullshit, narrow minded means that they don't usually accept any new things and that they are against things that are different from them and the way things are going, while open minded people, consider all new things and accept them if it is acceptable which means mass murder wouldn'T be considered acceptable (well it of course depends on the circumstances).
Bardock... you completely misunderstood my defination... lol...
I'm saying that narrow minded people are born open minded/accepting at first, then they become narrow minded, stuck on their believe and don't want to change it because of their conscience and loyalty...

Well you see its like in Star Wars Narrow Minded is the Dark Side and open minded are the Light so they are fair and want the narrow minded to become open minded but don't force them. So not everything becomes narrow minded and stuff.
This idea that open minded v. narrow minded people is a little irrelevant. At least all the arguments seem that way to me. I can believe in something with absolute certainty, with unwavering conviction...but that doesn't have to imply that I'm also a backwards thinking bigot. I believe that, despite my tendancy to disagree with so many people here on the boards, that they have every right to believe in what they believe. I mean, even if we disagree, I'll argue that you have the right to think what you want. I understand that this is getting into symantics...but there is very little difference in open minded and narrow minded. It's all a matter of conviction.
And stop picking on Peter...every one knows perfectly well that he wasn't comparing gay to mass murder.
