Yeah, you can't even remember your own posts in this thread, much less the other one.

I still ask... where's the complaint captain???That was a clear statement that the majority of people are close minded. Not a disagreement of or against close mindedness. I kinda prefer close minded people personally. Everything's black and white and cut and dry. Cuts down on the BS.

Any more confusing moments arise, just let me know. I'll explain it for you. PM me your number and I can text you through it much quicker through out the day.

I find that the best way to open up peoples' minds is with a chainsaw.

lol, your accusation isn't a complaint? Suuuuure.

By the way, "close-minded" doesn't mean the same thing as "honest" or "transparent". The KKK were obviously close minded about one issue, but they wore those sheets precisely so you wouldn't know who it was that felt that way.

If I got a text every time you got confused, my phone would die.

Just a notion... but does anybody else notice that a number of comments seem apt to the study?

If one conflates being fed up with another's rank bullshit as close-mindedness..then yeah, sure.   Rolleyes

The desperation is palpable;

"We may be liars, crooks, thieves and pedophiles...we can;t establish a lonely iota of our faith as being true...but those guys over there...well, they're close minded!!! "

Jerkoff
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
