Are you open-minded?

Just found this interesting little video:



I feel that this video brought up many truthful points that I've personally experienced in my life. I personally tend to closely examine pieces of information before accepting them as fact. For some reason, people get annoyed when I tell them that I don't believe what they say. They take it as almost an insult which seriously annoys me. Sorry but I'm not going to blindly accept everything that's told to me. It's like like I said they were stupid or what they said wasn't true, it's just that they haven't convinced me.

What bothers me more is that most times I was told to be more open-minded, the person talking to me was being completely hypocritical. It's not like they were considering the idea they were wrong. They were just outraged at the expressed possibility that they were wrong and decided to lecture me for even thinking of such a thing. In the past I've always brushed these comments off but this movie did a great job in showing the stupidity of this hypocrisy. I think that I feel more inclined to make a comment after watching this video.
