So as long as you agree with them, you're open to their views. Right, that's what the definition of open-minded is.

That's how things are in the 180 degree world of Pumas.

I'm only closed minded to conservatives; who feel anyone that does not agree with everything they believe is closed minded. Fact is you have to be open minded to be a liberal. You have to go beyond the group think and have a thick skin. It is easy to be a conservative; you just have to care. To be a liberal you have to be caring and understand how harmful conservative policies are to those you care about.

Be open to other viewpoints and points of view and be willing to discuss thing and ponder those ideas and not hold to your beliefs and be totally unwilling to bend. Your mind must be open to the possibility you might be wrong and your thinking needs to be adjusted.

I think one of us should develop a Fistlator website - where you paste in a sentence or paragraph and it spits out the complete opposite sentence or paragraph...

I find that both extremes share Fist's viewpoint; that only by standing in or near the middle can you get a truly broader perspective on things.

Note that this doesn't imply that extreme sides can never make relevant points; it just means that they do so far too rarely.

Unlikely. Liberals know what they know and nothing will never conflict with that.



Indeed. It's really too bad they can't be as open minded and non-dogmatic as you Puma.



I'm only closed minded to facts and opinions that disagree with my insane world view. This is why I only read "news" websites that reinforce the crazy.

The Outpost already had a thread on this, before it was revealed to be a hoax, and no one said anything about the 1%.

At least Fist gave his daily dose of irony though, since he's the one that looks foolish.
