Why should the burden be on anyone?
I am open to either idea and you tell me I'm closed minded.
I have not decided if the story is true or false and I'm closed minded.
But you're open minded because you won't even accept the possiblity until it is proven?
I've made my point and I have not made up my mind.
If you want to believe I'm closed minded because I have not made up my mind, then I can't stop you. Obviously.
and since Bman beat me to my post I'll include an answer for him here.
Now who's closed minded? I have said and will say it again that I am willing to believe that this story could be true or could be false. I am open to both possiblities.
Then you tell me that I'm closed minded on this particular issue because of my opinions on other issues. You won't acknowledge the possibility that I may be open minded on this issue.
Then you throw in loaded terms like jumping down throats and leftists.
I am not convinced either way on this story! Please pay attention. I have not made up my mind on this story. I am waiting to hear evidence either way.
Geez.
Because for you, open mind is a code word. It's "so open" its closed. I think I strike a fair compromise... burden of proof falls on the accuser. If there's no proof, there's no reason to pan for guilt. If there's no reason to pan for guilt, there should be no allegations or innuendo. Simple as that.
