one perfect example of a total closed-minded person is this: there's this girl at my school, let's call her "jane". okay, now jane is from india. born, raised, and bred there. it's her natural culture. she's used to the indian customs and traditions. there's this other girl, named "beth". beth is a close-minded little ditz, who doesn't care what anyone else thinks, and refuses to believe otherwise. well, a couple months ago, beth, jane and i were sitting at the same lunch table, and the topic of mendhi came up. mendhi is the indian temporary tattoo, a paste of herbs put on the skin that temporarily dyes it orangeish red. i think it kicks ass. beth, however, thought it sucked, and made her opinion quite clear. jane, having been raised with mendhi her whole life, took a little offense to this remark, and replied that mendhi is cool, in her own opinion. beth rolled her eyes, said that mendhi was "sooooo a year old", and changed the subject.

people like beth just piss the hell out of me. jane was raised with mendhi! it was totally normal to her! and someone else refused to let her say that it was neat. this really makes me mad. i'm not saying that you have to agree with everyone about everything. you just don't have to say that you're right, and everyone else is wrong. because that won't do anything, except make everyone else you are talking to think that you're arrogant.

in conclusion, closed-minded people suck. 'nuff said.
