got me a pitbull today!

I have certainly held prejudices, and been forced to assimilate new ideas. it's just how the human mind works

 

:iagree:, but not everyone lets their prejudice blind them.

 

I think it's just part of how we're hardwired if we had to deeply analyze every situation we'd probably never get anything done. But when confronted with proof that we're incorrect we shoul adjust.

However, back to the pits, I wouldn't personally want one I don't want to battle for domi ance. My lab was easy.

 

you are completely right. I remember learning about that in psych undergrad, it's a theory called heuristics.

and I don't want to sound like some toughass, but I don't battle to dominate. it's simple for me, I just naturally dominate them. keep in mind there is a difference between domination and abuse, that people often confuse and end with a mean, skiddish dog. abuse will no doubt make a dog fearful, which leads to aggression.

to be honest, I have more trouble with the smaller breeds. I don't vibe with them the same way and as a result they are more unruly, unpredictable, and defiant

 

Having a schema or or generalization handy can often make life easier, safer, more fun, (and plenty of other things)... Some people however are dumb enough to think that these perspectives that may even be 'correct' for them personally are going to (or even 'should') be true for the other 6.7 billion people on the planet.

 

you people are really smart. why can't I encounter more people like this on a day to day basis?

off topic but aFoolOnaHill, your sig is making me even more anxious for the water to warm up so I can paddle out. this summer is going to be great. lots of storms and swells on the east coast I predict

 

people don't talk like this because it's rude in public.

 

hm, you're probably right. fucking cultural expectations.

 

Maybe that's why I piss everyone off in real life.

 

me too. i piss 'em off here, too, but they can just neg rep me and complain. i don't have to worry about actually getting hit.

 

I'm probably equally as abrasive in real life, too. but one of the differences to me with the internet is people talk shit to me more on here, which in turn makes me get pissed and further abrasive

 

true. most people think i'm pretty mellow and nice. but i'm a seething, roiling ocean of hostility and irritation inside.

 

I dunno, in real life when people start talking a lot of shit to me I'll hit them. here I just have to deal with it. it's annoying. Expacally when people fuck with me on youtube.

Like why do people have to try to get me agitated when it's not going anywhere?

 

people fuck with you on youtube?

 

exactly. I can't wait until the day someone figures out how to reach through the computer and pimpslap someone. this actually just made me think of the scene in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, when they fly around the country and beat everyone's ass. best scene ever.

 

Kick their ass, SeaBass

 

hm. i probably have more than my fair share coming my way if that ever happens. and i do mean more than my FAIR share. some people just get pissed at me even when i'm not doing anything. but i do have a fair share coming.

 

funny.. that's the nickname of my Weimaraner, Sebastian

 

my baby killers

 

Ha! How funny
