Gahmuret's definitions

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.

America-hater

An American citizen, invariably by birth, who feels guilty about living in a country so wealthy and full of opportunity that they turn their resentment outward. They are usually spotted by snide or disparaging remarks about capitalism, wealth, the private sector, Republicans, the military, and the Founding Fathers; during wartime, they express sympathy for the enemy.

I knew she was an America-hater when she started dissing Ann Coulter and praising Cindy Sheehan.
