dairygirl4u2c Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) for example, i posted that we shoudnt care about what that senator did. but i was thinking about it, and i do recognize that's what i used to think about politicians private lives but i think it's not that simple. it's one factor to take into account for a politician. if he's lying to his wife, when in a bad situation, he might lie in the office too, or something. so it is relevant. or, take that i used to be pro choice. long reasons to why i change, but now if i were in charge, it'd be illegal, all of it. sure the permanent things don't make one closed minded for embracing them. i tend to be a little too open minded, as i always say give me your argument and i'll consider it, for almost anything. even to the question of existance, which is pretty absurd of me rationally speaking. but anyway.... this is probably the point where socrates, instead being conciliatory and realistic does not respond to the effect of... sure liberals are open minded and it can be a good quality but they often take it too far, and many are not open minded.... and conservatives are often not open minded but that's often for good reasons and there are many who are open to the negotiable things. saying something like that goes a long way, IMHO, of showing good character, something i was trying to portray in the initial post.
