lol

patience young grasshopper

I guess it's for xenoi then.

guess I'm just blind m-k

xenoi and up

I'm just here because I smelled fish n chips

@IAmAlwaysWatching Yeah, maybe, but is that something we should aspire to? Prejudice? Or is that something we can and should and do recognise as a serious flaw? You absolutely should be upset when somebody judges you unfairly based on nothing except for your name. Are you insane?

o-k

sorry, just saw his comment now

i've not been looking at the server bc of other stuff lol

No I'm just not trying to fix shit that isn't broke.

That doesn't make any sense lmao

Well, rather, it doesn't make sense unless you think prejudice is a good thing

which strikes me as reprehensible

But, please, tell me otherwise

That doesn't make any sense lmao

huh connection problem. wasn't supposed to send twice

Humans have been toiling on this Earth for millions of years, at what point does telling people to not hate you instead of earning their respect not just make you a little bitch

that doesn't even remotely resemble my argument

Yeah, and I never said prejudice was good

there's a big difference between having to earn somebody's respect as an individual based on your own good works and being prematurely castigated as an 'undesirable' based on an uncontrollable trait

No, you just strongly suggested as much given how, in your haste, you attempted to justify it as 'natural'

what's your opinion on prejudice then?

How would they be judging you any more if you earned their respect

...?

you're going to have to restate that

Why would you care if someone thought you were an 'undesirable' if you had already gotten past that and earned their respect?

you're presupposing somebody is even able to get to that point, once judged to be an undesirable

which is kind of the point of prejudice-- somebody is not worthy of having your respect because they are xyz

not worthy of the investment of time and effort to get to know them as an individual

Yeah cause nobody has ever risen out of the ghetto and moved to higher places

Y'all are talking past each other

Well, that presupposes that ghettos exist solely because of prejudice and that these people wouldn't just be exceptions that prove the rule

quite possibly, I think I might've assumed things that aren't true about your beliefs @IAmAlwaysWatching

o-k

and if that's so i'm sorry

That's fine.

I wasn't stating things aren't negative, and that they aren't something to overcome. But proving yourself to someone is a much more permanent way of getting rid of someone's judgement about you. Crying and complaining till they give you what you want isn't ever a solid foundation for someone to take you seriously.

Oh I agree

Totally

I also agree, but I think there is a difference between proving yourself to someone while being against crying and saying that gypsies should be nailed onto the wall
