How open-minded are you? (Time out:0 days after 16-12-2001, 01:10)
I am an empty vessel waiting to be filled with any idea at all.
I am extremely open to new ideas, but prefer them to be justified.
I am extremely open to new ideas, but they must be justified.
I am open to new ideas that are similar to what I already believe, and they needn't be justified.

I am open to new ideas that are similar to what I already believe, but they must be justified.
I am not open to new ideas, but will patiently listen to other people's ideas so I can condescend to them.
I am not open to new ideas, and will attack people with ideas I do not like.
I am not open to new ideas, and live with a set of earplugs permanently installed.
I am incapable of comprehending new ideas.

How open-minded would you say you are? Be honest.

I've made the poll multiple-choice because many of us are, for example, extremely open to new ideas in one category and not at all open to new ideas in another category. Or, maybe somebody wants to respond to the poll, but also wants to tell me to bugger off.

I voted: I am not open to new ideas, and will attack people with ideas I do not like.

New ideas? How about Bad ideas. I am not open to bad ideas. Like Communism. And will attack these ideas unrelentlessly.

It depends on the matter, generally speaking I am open to listen to and consider any idea. But I can be very stuborn about my core beliefs, however, but even in those cases I'll usually agree to disagree. (unless it's really out there)


I don't think any of those answers reflect my position very well, so I voted for you to bugger off.

Hmm. So, if I had made even more poll options and made them even more complicated, the number of "bugger off" responses may have actually decreased. I shall have to keep this in mind when making future polls.

Well, I figured that "banana" and "bugger off" would get a majority of votes...

I was tempted to add two more banana responses, though.

I am open to new ideas, even ones completey different from my present ideas, but they must be justified EXTREMELY well and made clear that they are right- such as when I changed my position on the drug war from "Execute Drug Dealers" to "Legalize All Drugs" after badly losing a drug war debate to Berzerke.

I. Also. Attack. Insults.

At least I am to the point and do not talk with a lot of bureaucratic bullcrap.

Speaking in fragments is to justify a point... I canīt use that when writing an essay but here yes.

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, G, it just sounded so funny when I read it. You have to understand that when I read stuff, I often imagine how it would sound if it was said aloud. I would have cracked up if I heard someone say that outloud. No offense, man.

Let's also remember that Giancarlo wouldn't recognise a bit of irony even if it hit him over the head.

Hoek, my typing is shot to crap because of several essays I wrote and my brain is fried because of finals.
