| 1. | closed-minded | ||

The opposite of open-minded (DUH-uh!).
Many people are under the mistaken impression that the first person who says "You're just being closed-minded" in a debate is automatically the winner; frequently, the first person who says this has simply run out of facts. Contrary to popular belief, it's also not always bad to be closed-minded, especially towards ideas which are easily demonstrated to be false or foolish. I'm very open-minded about space exploration, but I'm very closed-minded about doing a space walk without a spacesuit.

Tunnel minded is kind of like closed minded. Except tunnel minded is like a one-way mind. Kind of like a tunnel. that goes one way. So Tunnel minded is an adjective which means a mind that only thinks in one direction and will not be changing the direction or open a new opening anytime soon. "Hey Sam, what came first? The chicken or the egg?"
"I think the chicken. What about you Tommy?" "I can't make a decision. I see both sides of the argument and I just can't think....." "It has to be the chicken. Whoever says the egg is stupid." "Don't be so tunnel minded, Sam!" |

| 3. | Empty Minded | ||
|
The opposite of closed minded. Taking in any new information as the truth, without any objective analysis whatsoever.
Contrary to popular belief, this is not open mindedness. Open mindedness is finding a balance between closed mindedness and empty mindedness, allowing information in, but having a filter. Many people blame others for closed mindedness, claiming that they are open minded, when they are really only empty minded. Here's a graphical representation for those of you that are verbally challenged: Closed Minded----Open Minded----Empty Minded Open minded, the balance of closed minded and empty minded, is the optimal thing to get. But, like I said, it is not achieved by just being empty minded; one must find a balance, not an extreme. Example:

:OMG I SAW DIS MOVEE ND NOW I BELEEV BUSH BLU UP THE WORLD TRADE CENTER!!! -I accept your theories as valid speculation, but until you provide me with solid, grounded evidence I won't be able to truly believe in them. Based on the general unlikelihood of the notion of your idea being true without any proof, the theory has the burden of proof before it should be believed. :NO LIEKOMGZ TEH MOVEE SED IT WUZ BUSH, LOOK HE WUZ TAKING ABOUT TERISM BE4 911 THAT MEENZ IT WUZ HIMZZZZZ!!!!w#!1111!!!1 -Yes, I saw the movie as well, and I understand your point, however these interesting coincidences only really justify further investigation, not immediate belief in the ideas. One can find equally interesting coincidences regarding essentially any ideal, however most of these suggest things that are untrue. That is the nature of coincidences, they suggest interest in trying to possibly find a cause for their pattern, however the pattern is usually just, well, a coincidence. I am willing to be open minded and accept your theory as valid speculation, as I said before, but I am not willing to be empty minded and just take it without thinking about it. Until there is more evidence that this is the case than that something else is the case, I won't be able to believe it. :YOR SO CLOZD MINDED!!!! -Well, I'm trying my best to be as objective as possible, however I suppose there is never any harm in trying to increase my objectivity, thanks for the tip. I think, howeve... |

I know from living here,born and raised.I moved away in 2003.I came to the East Coast near New York city.Okay,Merced is ok if your just a so-called "normal" person.But if your different,like i was,and just unique and Flamboyant.This town is full of Homophobes.it's very closed-minded,Extremely Anti-Gay and full of stupid Bigots.I used to hate being hurrassed,and not feeling like i didn't belong.It was a hard place to live and be yourself.Being Openly-Gay in Merced County has been Hell.This is an OK town for some,But for me i had to leave what i left behind.and that was my Dear Family and "Some" Friends.The other stuff was pure History.I admit,Merced is a cool town,theres some nice people,but theres also a lot of Anti-Gay people as well.

What people say when they really mean closed-minded. Doors are open or closed, not open or close. You wouldn't say "That door is close," you would say "That door is closed." Closed-Minded is the correct way to say it. Incorrect kid: "Dude, you're so close-minded!"
Sassy Kid: "My mind is close to what? My skull? Yeah." |
