I "Am Very Open-minded"

open minded doesn't mean empty minded or without opinions/knowledge. it means you don't try to prove something wrong when debating you try to prove each other right until you know what is true which has nothing to do with someone being wrong or right really. and you need to maintain it unless you're a saint and keep yourself in check.

Open mindedness used to be nearly synonymous with tolerance. You were allowed to agree to disagree but still choose to let each other live with their own choices, as long as they weren't hurting anyone, including themselves and following the law.

These days, the mainstream meaning has changed a lot. If you don't agree with the mainstream ideology, you're a bigot, racist and so on.

In today's society it is a hard thing to do everything has to be right or left and to stand in the middle and listen to and respect the opinions of everyone is even harder but with people like us this world would crash and burn and neither side sees that they just bash us because we are not on there side.

You are on the right track. I would add that a person also needs to listen well.
