Define being close minded...

Recommended Posts

My hubby says that I am close minded. I know what I have done, some stuff is pretty out there, and I just want ya'lls opinion on what it means to be close minded to you. What brought this on, was last night I made the comment that I don't like "slapstick" comedy, I don't think (in most cases) being blatently stupid is funny... for Ex. The Naked Gun Movies, couldn't get in to it. I love a good comedian tho, The Blue Collar guys are some of my fav's. So chime in and let me know what it is to you that makes a person close minded. THANKS!:D

I don't think stating that you didn't like something is being close minded.

My definition of close minded is not seeing all the possibilities and acknowledging them. Seeing the world in black & white instead of all the subtle greys. Example: Abortion...is it right or wrong? I can see valid points on both sides.

BTW...the Naked Gun movies were hilarious.:P

Please don't dent the planet.

I don't think that's close minded. I think in order to be close minded you would have to not understand how others could possibly enjoy "slapstick" humor and it also appears that you have given it a chance.

an example of close mindedness might be someone that adamently refuses to even try to eat sashimi and yet claims that they don't like it...

She doesnt do anal. :|












Ok, I just had to say it before Turtle, or someone else. J/K.


What youre talking about are likes/dislikes. Whats funny to one person, is not always funny to another. its human nature.

Now, if you refused to watch any move of that genre, you might be a bit close minded, b/c you'd be unwilling to give anything new a chance.
Which, is a bit of my definition.
If youre willing to give something, some idea, someone a chance, then youre probably not closed minded.

I wonder, from reading this, if he is not meaning "stubborn" and should probably TRY anal. :D:o:P:P:P:P

Him or me try? I introduced him to it, so I'm not closed minded... :$:P


So - like with a broom stick? or did you just use a plunger?

Um....close minded? I supposed that's like when you lay your head on someone elses. Then you two are close minded. Of course, that can easily get into a semantic debate about where exactly the mind is located, and whether or not it can be thought of in physical terms.

closed minded- is when someone thinks that thier opinion or position on a subject is the only possible correct one and they won't even listen to another point of view.



That's impossible.:|

I do think slapstick is hilarious, Loved the Naked Gun movies. But that doesn't make you closed-minded. My PMs with you always seem to indicate you are far from it... You're easily one of the few DZ.commers I'd love to meet in person!!



WOW! Thanks so much, I can honestly say I only know one other DZ.commer in person ( that I was talking too on here before we met) I would love to be a "pelthead" just seems like a cool number to have ....:P

The I am the farthest thing from it. I always take other people's opinions in account. I might not always follow their opinion, but I do listen. He says I'm close minded b/c I don't like some rock music ( I prefer the old stuff, big hair) but I do love Nickelback and am starting to dig 3 Days Grace. I also don't understand people with excessive piercings, I don't judge them, I just don't understand and in my mind I feel like they are doing to get people to look at them, an attention thing. I do however have a one well placed piercing, so its not the piercing thing, that I don't understand. Same with Tattoos, I want one on my lower back, but don't understand those who cover themselves in ink, not b/c I think it looks bad, but b/c I wonder what it will look like when they are 90 and will they still be proud of it? I try to look at the whole picture with everything... But yet he says I'm close minded, but can usually never tell me how so. :S

Is there a reason why I should preserve my skin in an ink-free manner so it looks good when I'm shrivelling away my last days of life in a nursing home or something? 90 year old skin looks like crap whether there's ink on it or not :)
My upper right arm is a sleeve in process and I'm already plotting the sleeve for my other arm, and another on my right shoulder. My ankle has a dragon wrapped around it too.

No no reason, if you like it thats all that matters. I just wonder how people feel about it later in life, I mean there are some things that I did when I was younger that I swore would always be a part of who I am and now I can fathom doing those things. Its just so permanet, what if you do change your mind? I love watching Miami Ink, the talent is out of this world, I just don't want to commit to something so permanent, Heck I'm even having issues with buying our house, it just seems so permanet and so forever to me and I can always sell the house....

Leaving your skin ink-free is a permanent choice too :P

I've had my dragon for 6 years and even though I'm not the same person I was then, it's still meaningful to me and I'm glad I did it. My arm has been mulling around in my head for a few years, it's a Phoenix, and by it's very definition is all about change and re-birth. So as I change as a person and grow, it's still something that is meaningful.

I plan on getting one on my lower back in the near future, I just have to getmy nerve up, when I got my piercing I watched a girl pass out from the pain, I am a total pain sissy, no pain tolerence at all. But I love the way the look and I want to find something jumping related that also relates to my life, something meaningful....
