How far does your open-mindness go?
August 12, 2016 at 12:11 pm
I know the most of us here, if not even all of us, are open minded and so I am. I'm trying to be as open minded as possible but there are still things I can not accept - such as sex with kids, with animals and eating shit.
So I decided to ask you what does your open mind accept and what it doesn't?

The reason for asking is the latest spam in one of my e-mails - porn with women eating men's shit. Needless to say I almost sent my dinner back to the table.

"Open-minded" doesn't mean 'accepting anything and everything,' it's just acknowledging that your values, reasoning processes, and methods of evaluating things can be wrong and can change, and that you should be willing to change your view of something if shown sufficient evidence or reasoning.

You're mistakig open mindedness with acceptance. I throw up at the mere thought, but if consenting adults agree on this for rocking their boat, I haven't got any problem with it.

One is personal disgust, the other is open mindedness as in not really my business what others do to get their rocks off.

I don't give a fuck what others do to get their jollies, provided that it's consensual.

That doesn't necessarily mean I want to partake in the same things.

Depends on how many times I've used the trephine.

Porn with people eating shit doesn't even register on my scale of disgust. If someone thinks it's fun, who am I to judge...
