The immigrants one for obvious reasons and the phone one too bc it's a form of contact/safety. The others are all just opinions that don't really bother me.

If they said something like all dogs should be put down that would be worse.

However I've come across people who don't like dogs having been bitten as a child.
That's fairly understandable.

The other listed content is just opinions anyone may have,unless they would harm others doesn't mean they should be judged badly.

I'd be a little wary too though of the immigrant comment too,again not judging badly for it.
More hoping to get a chance to enlighten anyone as to such a seemingly closed opinion.

Why would you automatically assume it's a closed opinion, it might be an opinion borne out of frustration at services stretched to breaking point rather than anything else, maybe we should be asking why so many people can enter the country and in the main pay taxes but services are not increased to cope rather then assuming anyone having to struggle with stretched services including immigrants have closed minds

Not owning a phone and not into immigrants.

I would know that liking/disliking anything in the list is personal choice and no one else's business ?

I think such comments come from a closed mind.

Who said we all have to be into mass immigration. Personally I would judge those that Judge those who are not into mass immigration as short-sighted and controlling.

The statement in the poll we are asked to base our response on, just about clearly presents a definite held view from whoever may say it.

I do also anyway state clearly in my response, of it being a 'seemingly' closed minded statement.
Never stating it 'certainly' was one.

I can kind of get where both you and Joeysteele are coming from.

It would depend on the reason as to why the person had an issue with the Immigrants for me then to judge if they was what I would deem a good or a bad person, if they just think that we are overpopulated and our resources are being overstretched then I would agree with the person, if it's however out of pure ignorance as to why the person wouldn't want Immigrants coming into the country then I would take an issue with the person.
