Do you ever get offended my narrow minded people

It's sort of ironic, isn't it? Just relax. Your tension will go down in a bit. I had that experience too. I answered a question on a wider spectrum but I was told that I didn't understand question. I didn't argue. I just let it go. I just said to myself, "How can you expect them to understand you? You're supposed to be the one understanding them." And that's what I did.

Everytime I read something offensive, I always make it a point to pause for a while and DECIDE how to react. Though the things that some people say may be quite vexing, but how one responds is really a matter of perspective and choice. Over the years I have learned not to argue with people who think differently. What i usually do is present my own perspective and at the same time opening my self to other interpretations.

I like to think I am a pretty open minded individual. I dont make snap judgements about anyone or anything, and make up my own mind about things without the opinions of others guiding me. So yes, it does tend to offend me a bit when others make snap judgements and generalizations about anything.
