are you consistent? When it comes to parenting or a job, yes I am. I believe that with parenting consistency is the holy Grail. If you consistantly follow through with punishment and rewards, then the child has no uncertainties whether you ment yes or no. The opposite, and you are in consistant then that child will walk all over you. With the types of jobs that I have had in the past (working with adults with mental and physical disablities, cosistencey in their programs and staff being consistant would help the person to learn and keep staff and myself safe.
do you find that your personal and world views change from year to year Yes, when it comes to big life altering events, or techniques in better teaching my children, I will change my opinion. sometimes i become an activist for the new "cause" (but don't worry, I do very very very little preaching of my causes here--Pixies is a "cause-free zone") Over the years I have switched religious ways of thinking 2348756283434 times, and found on that I am comfortable with, and last year I got to go on *my* own "pilgrimmage to *my* Mecca" and went and touched the stones at Stonehenge on the summer Solstice.
or even day to day? Today the green shirt looks good on me, but yesterday I looked good in my black and grey "DORK" shirt
can we express those changes of opinion without being called impressionable or indecisive?we can change, as long as we have researched or know in our hearts that it feel right
or if we do change our minds...even if it's a lot...are we impressionable and indecisive? Yes, as I belive that is the definition.

what of our moods?
do they affect your opinions on a daily basis?yes, i.e. green shirt, Dork shirt
especially opinions and tolerances of other people - feeling copasetic and sympathetic? I know that over the years there have been several time that I have changed my mind about some one after the first impression. I have realized that if I am feeling crappy that day that I meet Mr. Joe Schmoe, he is evil and out to get the world in his grip. The next day, I talk to Joe and find out that he is a really nice guy, plus I am feeling better that day.
think how that may affect how you feel toward illegals or drug abusing moms. is it ok that our moods can essentially change our opinions? yes I think it ok, I guess that when I am riding my bi-polor rollercoaster, that I can change what I think of Joe Schmoe. I be loathed to keep all mt depressed and sometimes wrongly colored impressions. and I know that I can change when I am feeling better
or should we have the same thoughts no matter how we feel emotionally? There are a few that no matter what I am feeling, they stay the same, Kids school, job, and my "causes", however I like that I can choose a food on how I am feeling.

is it all about our individual particulars, or is it more to do with age? I think that it is our individual particulars that make us consistant or indecisive, by what our pysical and emotional makeup as well as how we were brought up
are we more likely to be stubborn about our own opinions when we are young and arrogant, or old and stuck in our ways? All of the above, just depends on your individual particulars! was I cosistantly inconsistant for ya?
