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
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
*walling the gypsies off
I'd just sooner have there be no unnecessary prejudice against somebody based on, say, skin colour. If somebody has an initial low estimation of you I'd sooner it be over things that are indicative of your individual character i.e. your manner of dress, if you're well groomed, etc. All still a little superficial but you know
I think that gypsies shouldnt be nailed to a wall.
Save that for the frenchies.
heh
I'm going home to see my family
We were gonna have a barbeque like you guys. . .
cool
The fuck!?
thank god for that clarification
