You know what I've noticed in my life? A lot of people who say they're open minded are some of the most closed minded people in the world. Why is it people will say they're open minded then, when they get into an argument, talk over the person and say, "You're close minded. I already know what you're going to say." Why is it people will say they're open minded then say, "because you won't agree with what I'm saying you're close minded,"?
Being open minded means to be willing to hear/see/understand the another side of the issue, but that doesn't mean you have to accept it or agree with it.
However, people tend to think that a person is open minded if they hear/see/understand what a person is saying then agree with it if what that person is saying is (or perceived as) the road less traveled or more controversial.
Meh. I just thought I'd write about this just because it was bugging me today.
