Frasbee. You picked up where you left off... but you didn't follow the topic as it was started.Quote:

When someone naive 'innocently' ends up in the wrong area, they usually get turned around and pointed back in the right direction (the 'burbs) fairly quickly. The rest are there for a reason...Quote:

Oh, well cry me a river, I believe the pros to being attractive easily outweigh the cons.Quote:

And once again, your argument is very biased towards your situation.
As you've already pointed out, it's not all encompassing of other groups.
My point proven.
You've proven that all people have prejudices, and some indulge in discriminatory behavior.Quote:

Wow.
No... that's not it.
What's your problem anyway?
I'm arguing with you?Quote:

I spare no one when I argue.
That's probably why my girlfriend doesn't like to argue with me...
Is that what we are doing? Arguing?
LOL!
Look, we can't be arguing when you aren't even following the subject.
I agree with you Coco. BUT, as you say, you'd be a fool not to take stereotypes into account in certain circumstances. Like what Gribble mentioned about a thug and the possibility of getting mugged.Quote:

Chances are, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...
Sure, sometimes you are pleasantly surprised, but only a fool would ignore the obvious on the hope the stereotype is wrong. Particularly if something might go badly wrong. If it costs you nothing or little to keep an open mind, go right ahead. Its a great attitude to have, IMO. Putting exceptional trust towards someone can sometimes yield exceptional results. But you have to weigh risk vs. benefit in such cases. Categories and stereotypes exist for a reason. They weren't created in a contextual vacuum.
I agree. That's why in response to what Gribble said. I stated, Don't confuse common sense with stereotype. Of course if someone approached me, I would use safety precautions. Defending yourself while in the public is common sense, ya know? I just mean while socializing with others I don't think it's fair to mistreat someone because of a stereotype.
to me not allowing gay people to marry is worse than treating them badly on the street.
saying you don't mind gay people but you don't believe in gay marriage is like saying you don't mind black people you just don't think they should have an education.
All I'm saying is if you get blamed for something it's not because of your looks. If anything, you get away with shit because of your looks.Quote:
