just because a person is opinionated does not make them closed-minded. people that don't know me well (and occasionally people that do) always accuse me of being closed-minded.
i know what i like. i know what i don't like. i have beliefs. there aren't many subjects i don't have an opinion on. and when i do have an opinion, i state it when given a chance and i whole-heartedly believe i am right.
i don't think this makes me a weirdo. lots of things make me a weirdo. having an opinion is not one of those things.
if i were closed-minded, i would not listen to the wide range of music that i listen to. narrow-minded people cannot like both indie and punk (both old and new) and even foreign music. narrow-minded people like metallica. only.
just because most people are musical ignoramuses who've never heard of most of the bands i like or have never met someone who holds my viewpoints (how many christian people do you know who are open-minded enough to listen to bad religion?) does not make me closed-minded.
if i were closed-minded i would not have any friends because i would not accept people as friends who don't have things in common with me. instead, i have more friends now than i've ever had in my life... and they are all so diverse that they cannot be friends with one another. now who's closed-minded?
