Not at all.

No. Everybody is close minded about something.
-
I am at least. I don't know about these other people.
-
They say that they are, but in reality most everybody is closed-minded.

I think we all have been filled with opinions and judgments supplied by our parents, the press, TV and everything else we hear and read. So when we are asked to judge something we revert to our pre-conditioning, without, in many cases, giving a lot of original and critical thinking to the subject. But if we're willing to pause and seriously consider what we are being asked to judge, we can be more open and honest. The trouble is that often it is easier to give the "automatic" and conditioned response rather than a more thoughtful one. So yes, most of us have been taught to close our minds but we all have the potential for open thought.

..cmon on in and wander for a while, find out for yourself...
-
I think most people like to believe they are but no I do not believe it.
-
No I don't. Most say they are but deep down they are already set in their ways and have their own values and thoughts, most acquired when they are younger, and they don't change and have no intention of changing. They rarely accept new ideas or methods, or new people if they are different from ones they usually know.
-
Most of them claim so but less are true!
-
Not the ones I know.
-
I would say nearly half are. Based on my experience.*
-
Only about those things that are of little consequence to them. The minute they have a dog in the fight they close up tight. You know the NIMBY attitude...well that's how we all are when the chips are down.
-
Not at all. You've been here long enough to experience that.
-
Decidedly NO!
-
No,I think it`s more the oposite.That`s why were are so many misunderstandings.
-
I think they are open minded. Unfortunately just because it's wide open doesn't mean it is spacious or particularly well lit.
-
I don't think so. The way I see it, there's really a limit to everyone.
-
Quite the opposite in my opinion.
-
Not most but few ,which doesn't include me.
-
Nope 99% if the world is close minded in my opinion

Definately not!

Not even close.

The older you get, the more open-minded you become.
-
Seldom when their mouth is open.
-
I think you have to choose to be that way. MOst people like their comfort zones and are convinced that their views are always right and those who disagree with them are either stupid or evil.
-
a wise person is open minded
-
Absolutely not.
-
Much of the first world economy is dependent upon much of the world NOT being open minded.
-
Unfortunately no, i think that most people are terribly close-minded
-
no. i think lot of people think they are open minded
-
I do but not to everything...I mean I'm open minded but that does not mean I will every little thing that is presented to me or except everything that is told to me...I guess it comes down to the situation...
-
Nope, I don't think so. As open minded as I think that I am there are things that I don't get and never will.
-
Yes. To their own extent, not mine :D
-
no not at all
-
no but I am. Maybe that's why I attract all the weird types.
-
No they usually only like their own opinions.
-
No, not really. Most people are only open-minded when they're in crisis.
-
No! I think the last presidential election said volumes. It's not so much that people are closed minded as that the news they receive is slanted/ skewed to one political party or another. We are not receiving the unbiased truth from the 4th branch. We are receiving whatever makes sensational/ controversial news stories whether made up or truth. Many people do not have the time to wade through the murky waters for the real story.
