Exactly It's all opinions based on bias information (mostly media based, TV, newspapers etc) and because people don't always completely understand it or take information in subjectively they ARE more likely to be stubborn with their view point.
Just watch the news programs from other countries and see how different the same story is portrayed from a different point of view.
Too much (complicated) information only confuses people to the point where they don't know what to think and end up thinking like the majority (what the TV tells them).
You can only be openminded when you see something from both points of view and even then it's still a 50% chance of being wrong. Sometimes something can be so convincing that you believe it to then 5 years later realise it was all bullsh|t.

"FORK IN THE ROAD: At a point you have to decide,
you stay openminded then after covering all aspects you make your decision.
A decision thats not rushed or judgemental but subjective and rational.
With some decisions you can still remain openminded after your choice as been made, you can go back over and rethink your decision.. with new evidence for example.
But sometimes you can't and it's these examples that prove that sometimes you can think you are right but time will prove you wrong.
'People' die and rott in jails because of decisions that were made to force a conclusion, just to satify people, stupid people. 'Innocent people'."

On religion, religious people don't understand reason.. they are merely vehicles for lies and misinformation.
It's amazing how whenever you speak to a christian just how easy it is to prove them wrong.. yet they refuse to listen and understand any point of view that is different to their own.
They don't what their comfort zone questioned, it would change too much.
Ignorance REALLY is bliss and curiosity killed the cat.

I consider myself to be interested in politics but also find it tiring because the politions are out to take our freedom away.

1. Smoking ban
2. Fight against Drugs
3. Cell phone laws.

Whats next?!!!!

Yeah because driving and talking on your cellphone isn't a driving hazard or anything it's just those bastards taking away more of our rights!

Rubberchicken · 04-01-2008, 11:21 PM

If you can't drive and talk on hands free at the same time then you are a freakin moron and should sell your car and/or phone immediately without delay.
If you enjoy having your rights restricted then you should lock yourself up in a dark quiet room as of now and cry .....forever.
As far as drugs go:
YouTube - Drugs - Bill Hicks, Revelations
just sayin.

I kind of wish pot was legalized just so certain potheads would shut the hell up about it being legalized.

Rubberchicken · 04-01-2008, 11:49 PM

Is that what you took from that? If so then I think you missed the point. oh well not to worry.

sleepy jack · 04-01-2008, 11:52 PM

I didn't even watch that video I just find potheads hanging around my school in their Iron Maiden shirts skipping class and complaining about pot being illegal to be some of the most idiotic and detestable people I've ever met in my life.
