No one cares. Everyone labels everyone. We look at people, and we generalize. Because a lot of the time, it's right. All this bullshit about uniqueness has convinced us that labels are of the devil. They're not. Nine out of ten times, the kid with spiked hair, Left-Over Crack patches, and punk clothes is fine with drugs and leans to the left pretty hard politically. Sure, there are punk looking kids that don't fit that category. But not enough to stop categorizing. After all, what's the worst that happens? You assume that the person is something that they're not, and either they prove you wrong or they don't, in which case they probably don't deserve to be recognized as unique.

If you want to be seen as unique, act unique. People are going to immediately categorize you, because that's how our minds and society fucking work. If you don't like being put in a peghole, do something to set yourself aside from it, douche. Don't just tell people not to do what's natural and proper.

Those are the ones that I get called, anyways.... only one of them is true. I mean... whoop dee doo...... so someone prejedged me..... we all do it, even if we dont mean to.

So basically basically your saying its ok to prejudge people? What if I was to say oh he must have aids, all gays have aids....Even though its not true, it would have the same effect.  Even if the label fits doesn't mean you have the right to point it out.  People can do what they want and dress how they want.  Does that mean that they should be pushed aside in to another category?  No, you can catergarize all you want.  But i do not do that.  Every person is different.  Not like we all think the same things...jeez

Guess what, babe?

I think generalizing somebody's health is pretty damn off topic. Any fucked up, Christian idiot would probably generalize a gay man having AIDs. But you know what? Some people, who do categorize, are probably smarter than that.

When I see skinny idiots with hair "eating their faces" I automatically hate them. Why? Because I fucking hate emos. They're all the same. They aren't unique.

It doesn't mean that much to me,
Sometimes I don't mean that much to you
And I don't even know what I'm hiding for...
And I don't even know what I'm crying for...

---

Yes.

---

What if I was to say oh he must have aids, all gays have aids....Even though its not true, it would have the same effect.

---

Then you'd be wrong. Obviously.

---

Even if the label fits doesn't mean you have the right to point it out.

---

Sure you do. You have the right to point out whatever you'd like. If I want to say that you're probably a liberal, I can.

You're probably a liberal.

Could I be wrong? Sure. But it's my right to look at your statements on this thread and your sexuality and draw a conclusion from that, right or wrong.

---

People can do what they want and dress how they want.

---

And other people can pick up on the messages that their dress sends.

---

Does that mean that they should be pushed aside in to another category?

---

Who said anything about pushing people into a category? This is where my entire point lies. If I decide that as a bisexual with an anarchy symbol for an avatar you're a liberal, that doesn't do shit to you. It's just me picking up, correctly or incorrectly, on clues that you're giving me. Because that's logical. I certainly am open to the possibility that this is not true, because absolutes are stupid like that, but I also understand probability and refuse to ignore evidence because of some pathetic idea that everyone is independant of the image they display.

LOL. Lovely.
