Being open minded means you're willing to think for yourself. Alot of people would rather not. Alot of close minded people think they're open minded when they're not. An open minded person can have very definitive beliefs. Rejecting an opinion is completely normal for both open and close minded people. Claiming that rejecting an opinion is proof of close mindedness, is in fact, proof of their own close mindedness.

8. Thinking that because it's on mainstream media it's probably true makes you the same type of idiot who believes the small time content providers over the big ones.
9. Mainstream media pretends to have experts too, doesn't mean they're any more real.
10. Real experts lie all the time when it suits their purposes. Just because one says something doesn't mean you shouldn't double check it. Getting a second opinion is perfectly acceptable behaviour.
11. If a bunch of experts say one thing and a bunch of experts say the opposite doesn't mean one is wrong and the other is right. It can, but it may also mean that we just don't know enough yet and they're both actually right, or both wrong.

An open mind only means you're willing to listen to what someone says not that you have to except what they're speaking as anything more than trash. So let's break this down.
1. Okay, you put this out there.
2. Doesn't make it true, also doesn't make it false.
3. You're a scumbag if you're actually "pretending" and not a real one.
4. May be entirely true, you might not hear it on mainstream media. They may in fact be ranting. Lots of people rant doesn't mean anything. Doesn't make the thing true or false.
5. Yep, lots of people do this. Lot's a people put stuff on the internet and make money from the content. No difference between them and main stream media who make money on the same thing as these guys.
Now lets add some.
6. Thinking something has to be false because some nut says it's true on youtube means you're close minded.
7. Thinking that unless mainstream media takes it up it's probably not true or researched correctly makes you close minded.

Granted this only works on certain churches. If it's a regular church it'll do nothing since they're following the rules. Just so everyone is aware churches, all tax exempt organizations, do still have to pay some taxes called Non Ad Valorem tax. This covers things like emergency services, utilities(local infrastructure), lighting....etc. That's not to say some aren't abusing the exemptions but it runs similar in frequency to normal businesses that commit tax fraud.

Not if the quiz is literally:
Write your answer
1.
2.
3.
etc...
I've had a few of those. You were allowed your homework but not the textbook. So if you didn't do it you wouldn't even know what the question was, let alone answer it.

Teacher: All right pop quiz time. This is worth %30 of your grade. Don't worry this is completely based off the homework so if you did it you'll have the answers. You have 5 minutes.

That's generally the most common theory of why the most abundant metal on the surface was not used whereas "shiny" metals like copper or tin were used first. Aluminum is actual one of the most common metals but since it takes so much processing to use it didn't really show up until the industrial revolution and even then was akin to gold in price. Copper however, can be easy to spot and can become malleable with just a camp fire making it a metal that was used. Combine it with tin and you get bronze. Iron takes a bit more effort and unlike gold you generally don't find it just lying around on the surface since it tends to turn into iron oxide (rust). Interestingly iron oxide was used as a coloring agent long before iron tools came to be. After all who would look at this red dust stuff and think it was a metal.

Well that's easy. All you have to do is just look at it for a few moments and you'd see it too. Obviously there are only two that could really use the decrescendo but only the one without moving into the overly dramatic. It's not hard. Just look at the argument, counter argument of them while not ignoring the supporting elements of the other parts. Is it building tension or resolving? Of course you don't decrescendo the resolving that's just silly. Unless, of course it's needed for effect. At least half of these are in the building phase and you certainly aren't going to be putting a decrescendo there, well unless the counter part is needed to build the tension to offset the main line, but that not pointedly not the case in these selections.

Yeah no, there have been several that have written more than nine and likely the most prodigious with 342 is still alive. But it is interesting how many only got to 8-10 before they died.

Unless your in a state that doesn't require a reason to terminate. In those states as long as the "reported" reason is not one of the very few illegal ones they can certainly get rid of you. It then puts the entire onus on you to prove they fired you illegally. And just so you know the reason can be as simple as "failure to conform to company environment". That's a great generic reason and there's almost nothing you can say or do to prove that that's not the reason.

That's a thing? I mean news with the Kardashians in it. I went years where I had no clue who they were and this was when they were in their rising fame state. Even today, unless it's lambasted everywhere, I doubt I'd see something about them.

As someone who regularly gave change back that literally means nothing. Sometimes you slide the change in, sometimes you place it in. Sometimes you drop. It's much much more dependent on what and how much change you're giving to a customer. Tons of coins you're probably placing or dropping. Bills and change? Handing it or sliding it gently if the change is on top of the bills. Sometimes you just put the change next to them on the counter, though that's usually if they're doing something or their hands are busy.
