I make fun of the handicapped. The other day I cracked a joke about taking the wheels off of some dudes walker. People with substance abuse issues piss me off. They all seem like just low-life junkies and drunks who will never chance. However I went through a period of my life where I was drunk/loaded all the time for about 5 years. When I'm around people of different racial backgrounds, I try my hardest to get along with them and understand their backgrounds. When I'm away, I crack jokes and use the "n" word a lot. I love the women in my life whether it be my mother, sister, or girlfriend. But I'm constantly finding excuses for why females piss me off and are inferior to men. I have a tendency to think that people who live in low income housing and get any type of social service are white trash, regardless of their background or why they're in the position that they're in. I think midgets are funny, but not in a good way. I think the absolute worst about almost anyone I come across. I find a reason why they just plain suck. I don't know why I do this and sometimes can't stand myself for being such a judgemental prick.
I can blame it on having an f-ed up childhood and all that jazz but I'm not quite sure that's it. It's almost like I have a hard time controlling those thoughts. They just pop into my head. It's not like I'm a dickhead when it comes to person to person contact. I go out of my way to help people and be friendly. It's usually after the fact or when I'm looking at something from a distance. Don't really know how to change it but I'd like to.
Hmmm... have you considered some type of counselling? Seriously, unbiased third parties can help you see things in yourself that you don't see. But at least you're being honest and not taking the "crappy childhood" excuse. Honest to god some people who use that should be shot repeatedly...and I'm not a violent person. But I hate when people would rather blame their actions on others instead of taking responsibiity themselves. So good job on that Tom, that at least makes you a little more respectable. But I'm sorry you make fun of people who are differently abled, that kind of sucks.
i think youll find: hes admitting it caus its the true confessions forum and most people in the world are worse because they cant even see what they do wrong.
Sounds like you should work on self-temperance. I think Eastern cultures tend to value self-temperance much more than Western ones, but self-temperance is basically just how well you control your mind, body, and spirit. One who is very tempered can naturally ignore thoughts like the ones you have, and greatly reduce those impulses to do/say random or immoral things, and tend to be a lot more respectful. For example, the samurai of Japan, were a very self-tempered people; they all sought to master whatever it was that they did (which was usually warfare, lol), and swords and other weapons were handled with such an incredible code of respect, that simple things like touching someone else's sword, or walking over it, was dishonourable and was grounds for the owner to legally kill you on sight. Not saying you need to go to THOSE levels. =P But, you may want to work on suppressing some of your "bad" tendencies. Just make a really hard effort to resist them; basically, don't even give them a chance to influence you, just shoot them down. Eventually, you'll rid yourself of most of them. =)
you sound like an asshole.... You might want to work on that. Luckily you live in oregon, the state with the highest percentage of white people
Reminds me of Malcom in the middle. Reece saves the family from a robber and Hal feels inferior so he goes around trying to inconspiciously pick a fight so he can become a hero. At one point he steals someones spot. When he tries to start something the guy exits the car and Hal is like "oohhh shit", looks at the spot and notices the Handicap sign. His only course of action is to leave and look like a little girl fleeing as the man in the wheel chair is left yelling demeaning insults. hahahaha
LOL ok there Archie Bunker. You do sound like you need help I mean we are all guilty of being harsh and mean about things we fear or don't understand. Boy I know you would sure have a lot to say about me. I live in subsadised housing and get food stamps and I am handicaped through no fault of my own. All my neighbours are black peoole who live in the ghetto too. I have crummy clothes and I dont wear make up. Sorry I am not good enough for you, I seen to have plenty of people who do care for me and respect me and love me though so I'm not worried about you. When ever you need some help with your finaces or your health I hope you have to take it from a black person in a wheel chair who lives in public housing. Then maybe you will learn that everyone is the capable of being a good enough person.
Common and trendy? I don't know when/where you are living, but it sure ain't trendy or common here. But yeah... Learn to love.
you can change your way of thinking by exposing yourself to people with disabilities and those of different races and meet quality women-make sure you try to make all of these experiences positive and your biases will melt. I went into a room with one table of white people and a table of black people in GA and I sat with the table where the black people were sitting because the situation was wrong and some of those people made racist comments about me the day before prior to them knowing I was a colleague. they turned out to be the funnest guys in the world and are coming to visit me and check out my job next month.
Well, if you see that you do these things, you can slowly "unprogram" yourself, so that you stop doing them. The next time you go to make fun of someone ina wheelchair, or a black person, or anyone, try to remind yourself to stop, because it isn't nice. If you do this, it will become a habit when you go to ridicule others, and slowly- yes, slowly- you will learn to stop making fun of others,. Good luck. Remember, the first step to curing somehting is admitting it!
my brothers like that. when he was 6 years old he was at the movies with my uncle (who was a horrible influence, i might add), and my brother saw some old guy that had fallen asleep, so he took of the guys glasses, kicked him in the shins, then broke the glasses and ran away. what a little shit. i wasnt there, thank god.
