I really hate closed minded people...

Well, there are really a lot of kind of people like that everywhere! Maybe he's just looking for attention. That's probably one of the reasons.

Talking to people like that is really disappointing. They will never accept other ideas,suggestion and opinion. But you should not be annoyed to people like that because you are an open minded, right? You should understand this kind of people instead. You cannot change them that easily. They just need a little patience and understanding;)

I also hate those people who are narrow or close minded. I like frankly speaking people.

I feel sorry for him. Maybe he doesn't or didn't have kind parents who showed him how to respect other people's opinions. He is probably very lonely and doesn't have any friends and feels he has to lash out to make himself heard. Sad!

Closed minded people always think they're right and never accept someone else's opinions. I have a few friend who are pretty close minded and there's no point in arguing with them. I simple give up because once a heat debate begins, they really angry so I just cool it off by accepting what they say. I'm quite open minded and I don't really care what close minded people say, I'm just confident in what I believe is right. I don't get why some closed minded people bother asking for other people's opinions, they're just going to reject other opinions and assume that they are always right. I did encounter one member in Mylot who was so persistent in what they believed. The member opened a discussion about a topic asking for everyone's opinion. I give them my opinion and they start going off at me about how I'm wrong and that what they're saying is right. It was so annoying! I tried to argue back in a nice manner but the member kept persisting their views and bitterly rejecting mine. So I just stopped replying, there was no point in arguing.

Even i have encountered many such people. It is really impossible to talk to such people. they will never understand other persons point of view but will always try to impose their own ideas.

You're definitely in the majority here.Close minded people exist to be hated, some of themeven hate themselves but are powerless to stop themselves from acting like jerks. Especially in the comparative anonymity of cyberspace. The majority of people in discussion groups online are pretty cool and open minded as a group. Don't let the rare exception to the rule work your nerves. Just agree to disagree with the jerks and continue on rightfully and righteously hating them.

Closed minded people are so unagreeable. Hard to deal with and arrogant. It is such a waste to be this way. I like to stay open to new input and am interested in hearing all views. Life is short and it is such a waste to be in such a closed frame work and never listening to others.

People like that, are braggarts, who always insist that their opinion and whatever they have to say is always right. I hate people like that, second to back stabbers. Whenever i meet people like that , i see to it that whenever he/she is around, i would have my distance. That way, i get to control myself from blurting out , "what an airhead you are!"

Some people are like that. They try to impose their ideas or decisions onto others. And its wisdom in avoiding such people. You can never make them understand your views because they are never going to accept any other idea apart from their own.

The person might have personal issues, I guess. Maybe he wanted to prove that he can defend his statements. A lot of people have the same character - they never want to be accept it if they are wrong.

Ah, there are so many close minded people in the world, it's the reason why we find little improvement over the years. close minded people will not benefit from other people's knowledge, this is their disadvantage, not ours. So don't hate them lady1993, feel sorry for them. Those who refuse to open up, find it harder to learn, grow up and improve.

Me too. I hate those people. I don't prefer talking to them. When conversation starts and I feels that a person is a close minded one , I just stop the talking then walk away :) don't wanna waste time to them.

Yeah one can be open to any discussion but should not force there views on them. I'm surprised why people take an effort to participate or listen to this sort of person.If I understand that someone is closed mind I keep away from them, because they don't have the patience to listen nor have the attitude to take things in the right way.

Yes, I really hate them too! Close minded people are the hardest persons to talk to. They can't understand people and are very annoying. They seem not to grow up because they are stubborn to learn other ideas and thoughts. I honestly believe that they are foolish people who thinks that they are the smartest know it all. Anyway, what I do with them is just to not mind them at all. As much as possible, I never confront with such individuals and I always steer clear of them. But there are cases that you just can't avoid them. All I do is just try to be as gentle as possible to them and try not to clash with them. I try to be calm in explaining my side. What happens usually is that they understand my thoughts and see that I am right, but still they won't admit it. They will just shy away from the topic and make others think that they are still right but deep inside their minds they already know that they are wrong. Foolish people indeed!

relax..most people who are close-minded are really annoying..especially those who acts like "they know it all"..but i guess we got nothing to do about it but just not to mind those persons..

Well my husband is closed minded. All he wants to accept is what he thinks is right. He never wants to listen to anything. He makes Judgments so fast that in a blink of an eye he will say a 1000 things that do not even exist. I do not understand him at all, I do not know how I ended up marrying him the first place! Close minded people are actually very selfish, because they never put themselves in others shoes. Its all about them for some reason!
