Small minds discuss people, true or false?

Question

Small minds discuss people, true or false?

Answer 1

Like Slu said.

Answer 2

It is human nature to discuss others, sure you have discussed your sisters etc kids with others vice verso. It is normal, nothing to do with small minds. Genuine:)

Answer 3

Agree, true

Answer 4

False!

I learn a lot by discussing people, their motivation, their beliefs, actions etc.  We live in a world where a small number of people has made a massive difference. That small number of people are always worth studying and discussing. :-)

Answer 5

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962)

Small minds are much distressed by little things. Great minds see them all but are not upset by them.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)

Answer 6

My minds are available in small, medium and large. No half-sizes, no half-wits, that's my policy. I don't want talk to about "big ideas" all the time, or talk about "little ideas" all the time. That's one of the most wonderful things about Yahoo Answers, that you can be as serious or as silly as you want, sometimes at the same time.

Answer 7

The average capacity of thought in people isn't that great these days. Theres a lot more small minds than there are great ones, people who are happy with small lives, small dreams and small achievements. Don't snear at them because they often carry out functions you wouldn't.

On the otherhand just look at how popular "celebrity" has become in recent years. Some people say it gives people something to aspire to, and something to take their mind of their own drab lives. In a sense I think you could say the same of any group of people discussing any others.

Truth is it often makes "us" feel better to talk about other peoples short comings, and I've known plenty of intelligent people find fault with others for their own personal amusement.
