    you can be pideonholed, it just will take more time, and effort than you are accustomed to, assuming you are actually correct and you are a special snowflake and actually HAVE avoided stereotypes.

    just because you don't fit a stereotype, doesn't mean you can't be pigeon-holed

    and just because you don't in truth fit a stereotype, doesn't mean people won't apply it to you anyway.

    so, you in truth, can be pigeon-holed, you just would very much rather not be.

    are you disregarding the meaning of my name (shame shame, ms. terminology), and instead projecting your own self-disgust? i sure dont feel the need to call you any names.

    sure, incorrectly. especially when coming from someone who doesnt know me! (ignorance!)

    you're right, I don't know you, that doesn't mean I am wrong

    people WILL apply archetypes to you based on first impressions

    especially when you take such militant stances on such things as this

    other peoples opinions don't matter, it's hard as fuck to actually acknowledge in ones own behavior, but, 1. worth it in the long run, 2. makes shit like this not matter.

    Absolutely. I can't stand them. Ignorance is usually very closely linked to insecurity in my eyes.

    you didnt label me with a stereotype anywhere in this thread, did you? i was speaking in general.
    "shit like this" what shit do you mean? stereotypes? because as ive said, i will brush them off if they are coming from ignorance.
    i do acknowledge my own bad behavior. i am unsure why people are trying to make this personal though.

    no.

    ignorance is closely linked with not knowing shit

    insecurity is closely linked with behaviors like being a know it all asshole (like myself) serial killers who want to feel power over others (starkweather) sexual dominatrixes who need to feel sexual control over another person to compensate for their lack of control in every day life, people with obsessive compulsive disorder, and any number of other things


    it is not associated with not knowing shit

    it cause insecurity. but that is not a close link

    that is a causal link

    you do not know what you are talking about.

    we are not doctor phil's audience, we do not buy your halfassed throwaway statements.


    edit: I should also note, that your post, was, in fact, pretty damn ignorant. and, yes, I freely admit to being incredibly insecure, and working on it. and, I'm okay with that.

    I don't think looking down on someone for being dumber than you is any less shallow than looking down on someone for being uglier than you.

    Some of you aren't all that smart.

    I myself would prefer to be prince of morons. :biggrin:

    more people do the latter than will freely admit it simply for breeding reasons.

    Well I think my being unwilling to hook up with a dumb broad is different from contempt for people dumber than I.

    All people aren't created equal.

    no shit all people aren't created equal

    deserving of equal rights? absolutely.

    deserving of an equal chance before they lose those rights? well, that depends on if you feel rights are revocable.

    Elaborate.

    Are we talking legal rights? Because of course some of those are revocable, that's the point of prison.

    Why would people not have an equal chance before having those rights revoked?

    some people are assumed incompetent to hold certain rights (vote, own a gun, etc.) because they are mentally handicapped, and in some state the same applies to felons.


    I could argue that some people who are not mentally handicapped, but simply unwilling to use their brain should not be allowed to vote, and in effect, that there should be tests involved in being allowed to vote. have twenty four hour courses available, by phone, internet, or drop in centers, for people to study up, to be prepared to vote (their duty in a democracy)

    and if they are unable, or unwilling to pass the test, they do not deserve that "right" which, honestly. is a privilege afforded them by efforts made by past generations, and maintained to provide an illusion of democracy.


    but, I'm jaded, and cynical, and think that people are too stupid to deserve to vote by and large.

    We are all created equal.

    It's just that some people lose that "equality" by dumb actions they make.

    you're fourteen, you haven't seen it yet.

    don't worry, you will.

    and if you don't. I'm really sorry, enjoy your network news (I have more hope because you are here, but not a whole lot more, sunshine, what kinda hippie bullshit is that?)
