"Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage."
-- Winston Churchill
Why is it that people get so offended when when i tell them they are being an idiot, but they can keep on going on about how open minded they are? If they were really open minded wouldn't they be able to accept that they are an idiot. i know this is a little much of me to ask of someone, but really, no one is open minded. Everyone has their preconceived notions of why things are the way they are, that is the way it is. A person might be willing to listen to others ideas, and take input from them to maybe change their own view, but that is not being open minded. You can only be open minded in a relative context to other people. Also, everyone i have ever met is an idiot about certain subjects, why is that so hard to accept?
