I think I have to grudgingly give kudos to my mother (*shudder*) for that one, as my father is the most judgemental man in existence, whereas I don't actually remember my mother being judgemental much. Or at all, when I think about it. I'm sure she was - I think we all are a little, but just not often enough for it to leave a trace in my memory.
At first I used to wonder if it was a flaw. Things that really seem to shock and/or offend friends really don't matter a great deal to me either way, so perhaps what I think is open-mindedness is actually just indifference... Has the same effect I guess, and I don't need to work at it like I might the former. :)
