I have to admit, i'm a very conservative person and sometimes i hate it. Anything outside my comfort zone, I avoid. I'd like to be in between. You have a very good point. What can we do besides try to better ourselves.
A child’s life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark. Tread carefully..but not overly...and allow the child to learn by mistakes. Empathy is vital, before making ANY decision regarding kids..in the words of Mark Twain they need to "Explore..Dream..Discover.."
formed for them by the media. And those are the the few people who actually care enough to even bring up the topic of politics. It's ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with having convictions... but I think they should at least be justified by some kind of logical reasoning. :) Great video, Ged.
What a truly relevant video. Especially love the point that you come to at the end about having an absolute moral code to keep one's self in check, but still being able to step back and see things objectively. With my new job... I get to see and talk to so many people in a day. I'm always quietly surveying... and I have come across people on both sides of the 'spectrum', conservative and liberal. The thing is, they give no thought to their 'convictions'. There opinions are simply...
KEEP THESE VIDEOS ROLLING ... The more videos you come out with, and the more thoughts you apply into your speeches, will lead to further strength in your own thoughts and perceptions based on reality.
Loved the video. Loved the concept, and I think that people not only need to be more open to criticism by others, but at the same time, I believe that we all need to apply more and more self-criticism towards our own conceptions, that may be flaud or perhaps fraud without any doubt.
A person isn't close-minded if, once they find out the sex of their unborn child, they start to buy accessories that are traditionally associated with whatever gender they are. They're simply playing the percentages. Plus, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than to buy pink AND blue shit and then placing the Fisher Price Kitchen set AND the monster truck in front of little Bobby and seeing which he gravitates towards. Closed-minded is beating him if he even looks at the pink Mix-Master, though. HA!
I like the title of this video, and thought the example of children having gender-specific toys was a good topic on its own. You didn't really need to mention the imagined dichotomy of Liberal vs. Conservative on this one. I didn't see that episode of The View (since I can't stand that show), but this would be my stance: if I have a little boy, I'm buying him trucks, action figures and hockety sticks; if I have a girl, it'll be dolls and pink stuff. Conventional stuff.
@johnnytastetest Yes, this entire concept is Liberal Vs Conservative because the side that chooses open-mindedness over conviction is liberal, or unperceptive, and conviction with no open-mindedness is too conservative, or close-minded. My point was eloquently made. Give it up Stogey Nightclub!!!

@MegaJimmyBond Great comment! I'll just pretend you never sent the other insolent one. Learn a little patience mate. Be cool.

@YazdIsa - How appropriate that you spelled FLAWED incorrectly, huh? Ha ha!
I hope that due to your error, you will apply much more self criticism to every YouTube comment you write in the future. Haw haw haw!!!
