Closed minded people (CMP) drive me totally insane!!! What's worse, are the people that won't consider anything beyond what they believe. You know the type, they actually become visually distressed right before your eyes. The slight head shake, widening of the eyes then you see the lips purse and then comes the narrowing of the eyes as they realize you actually have the nerve and the audacity to think for yourself. And, you have it all wrong!!!!!

LOLI-ISM: Everyone's different...and that's okay.

I know CMP's are just a fact of life. You can't get away from them. I try to be accommodating and patient when I come across them. Which, in my line of work that is like....ALWAYS! I just smile and nod, possibly throw out a "Huh, well, that's one way to look at it". Mostly it's just "Huh". I find that if said with a nod and a smile, it comes off non-committal. Possibly could be construed as slight agreement even. Most of the time it shuts them the hell up. Of course in my mind I'm screaming "What an ass-wipe!" Of course those that go out of their way to look down at me and get all judgemental on me...well, then I get all John Locke and wanna yell "Don't tell me what I can't do!" But alas, I just throw out a "Huh"....but I don't smile or nod! That'll show em!

Are CMP's like that because they are afraid of being wrong? They make everyone else wrong just so they don't seem ignorant? That's the problem with the world today...nobody is tolerant any more. Everyone is a control freak "It's MY way or the highway"! AArgh! Just so frustrating!

Breast or Bottle....Power Rangers or Bibleman....Sex Education or Luck....Horde or Alliance....Whatever, people! Life is trial and error. If I'm wrong, well hopefully I'll learn from my mistake. That's how we grow. What's saddest of all, to me, is the fact that most of the CMP's out there would like you to believe that they "Just have your best interest at heart" BBBBULLSHIT! It's not going to kill YOU, really, it won't even affect your life in the least if I let my kid watch Power Rangers! Whatever works for you is great. I respect your decisions. May not work for me but hey....
