What am I?

I have no opinions. Let me change that, I have no strong opinions.
I see the lady next to me talking passionately about nuclear disarmament and she goes on to expound at length what each country's stance is and what it should be. She seems to have a strong opinion.Me, I don't care. As long as they do not drop a bomb where I live I am fine. So what am I?
There is the lesbian and a fiercely conservative and orthodox man engaged in an argument about marriage, procreation and sin. The lady passionately explains how she is also human and is it not God's ultimate lesson that everyone be treated just the same. Me, I believe in equal love. But I do know the religious misgivings people have about homosexuality so I understand why their belief is bigger . I know God created us equal but he also gave us our uniqueness,so what am I?
There was a feminist that I met in the tube the other day. She spoke about gender equality and how we are equal to them. I wholeheartedly agreed. Yet, my 6-inch heels were killing me and I caught a man's eye and made him guilty enough with my winces and grimaces to give his seat up for me. I manipulated that man by pretending to be the weaker sex. So what am I?
I shed my opinions like a dog sheds hair. Here today, gone tomorrow. I have no fierce beliefs, no strong opinions. I am just as likely to side with an opponent in an argument if they have a stronger point of view. I shift loyalties and have no strong opinions. I only have three strong opinions that I will not change no matter what. I will hold my breath and close my eyes if anyone says something otherwise. There is no sense in killing. There is no truth in deception. The Mummy is an awesome movie. So what am I?

  1. I think it is good to not have strong opinions.Such people are argumentative,spiteful and full of hatred.To be flexible and even better,to not have opinions is good and such people are more at peace than an opinionated person.And it is not easy to have an adaptive mindset.

  2. I often have similar thoughts. On most topics I find that I can be both 'for' and 'against'. Of course, I try to stick to one side because people are weirdos and term people like me indecisive. Also, people with strong opinions are thought to have stronger personalities. Whether its a plus or a minus is anyone's guess.
    And OMG I love 'The Mummy too'. Or wait, were you kidding !!!!

    1. I remember a quote from Sundara kaanda- "can we ever be sure that everything in this world is what it appears to be?" And i truly think that..that everything has more than two sides and it would be stupid to simply argue that I am right! However I am NOT kidding about the Mummy!! I love it..If I could star in any movie as an extra that would be it.. :)
