I see online or offline many close minded, very bigoted people who are generally older than others. Most open minded and liberal people are younger.
What do you think, are my observations right or wrong?

I tend to agree with you.It seems that people who are still living in the past have closed their minds.They do say ,you can't teach an old dog new tricks.Also the unwillingness to accept reality that the world has changed makes them close up more.It's sad but true.

Not all old people are close minded. I've noticed quite a few young people that are not as liberal as one would imagine. They are selective in what they are open minded to and surprise me that some of their "mindless rantings" come from what I would view as conservative. I think we expend "older" people to be conservative, as this seems to be the consensus throughout society. I'm middle aged and not as liberal as I was when I was younger; however I haven't quite taken on the entire conservative wing.

Some old people are more openminded because they have lived a long time and have seen a lot of things and people. So they are better able to accept things. But it depends on the person.

nicely, for one being pregnant isn't a scientific condition. it particularly is the organic effect of the mating technique. i think of that if females do no longer decide directly to get pregnant they shouldn't do the element that gets them in that difficulty. in case you need to no longer tell i'm professional-existence. Scientifically a element is alive whilst it shows indications of boost and progression. needless to say we are able to make certain from any type of study that a "fetus" grows and develops in the mum's womb. the youngster then grows and develops much extra upon beginning. i do no longer purpose to wreck any liberties of somebody, i decide directly to make certain the same element anybody else does and that's guy or woman freedoms. How can every person justify the slaughter of a youngster who does not have the skill to decide on approximately its existence. Why is it that lots of folk would particularly kill their babies than enable them the prospect to stay and improve and characteristic a family members of their very own. there are possibilities whilst coping with a being pregnant. in case you do no longer decide on the toddler there are literally hundreds of folk who're no longer able to have a baby of their very own, or who decide directly to save the lives of billions of youngsters, who're very prepared to undertake those babies and supply them a existence they would not in any respect have in the event that they have been aborted. i detect it superb which you will use that scripture to make your factor. I see in the worldwide at present that China forces females to have abortions. i do no longer see that as a call, I see it as a type of slavery. We arrest, prosecute, and imprison limitless human beings for homicide, yet each time a baby is aborted the mum and the physician are allowed to go unfastened. Abortion is homicide. it particularly is the taking of a existence. in actuality that's nearer to conspiracy to commit homicide when you consider that there are different events in touch.

Surely there is no "right" answer. I am very fortunate to have a 81yr old grandmother. She taught me humility and to accept everyone for who they are. Maybe "closed mindedness" has to do with fear and therefore is ageless? Have a merry Christmas!

most are, but there are young people just as bigoted as the older ones.

Just because you ran across a few people as you have described, why lump all old people into the same category?

Wrong.
People are people.
Old or young.
