Casual Conversation

And if we all speak up, we will keep each other honest.

 

I dunno about that. Many people speak up and say all kinds of sh*t anyway. I think (for me) personal development is key. If you can't challenge yourself, it doesn't matter how much someone else speaks up.

 

Hi Intrepid, how are you?

 

I agree, ingrepid, & perhaps the most objected status is based on class

 

I'll stay out of this conversation but stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason, they are often correct. People need to get over it and stop being so sensitive.

Good night!

 

What stereotype fits you?

 

Without people speaking up for themselves we in this country would still have segregation, women would not have the right to vote etc etc. it wasn't prejudiced people challenging themselves and personal enlightenment that caused the change.

 

Exactly...people speaking up for THEMSELVES. Not just speaking up and out and aloud. That type of talk is so cheap.

 

Yes, that's what i meant.

 

I don't spend my time thinking about what I hate, I'm to busy just trying to get through the day.

I was told by a close friend once that I was colorless. It took me a bit to understand that she meant I don't see color, I see people. One of the greatest compliments I've ever recieved.

Someday, prejudice will end - I hope for that and look forward to it. Hope it's in my lifetime but I think not.

As for sterotyping, I believe it's only in that indivisual's mind, not in the 'group' they've come to hate.

Many people hate Amercians - go figure.


June - you are so cool

 

Hi Holly, nice to see you back!

Received this in a post card. It's so lovely I thought I'd share.

 

I like it. Thanks for sharing.

Too bad it doesn't have a cutesy picture with it

 

Wish everybody could read this and realy understand it. Good post.

 

Feeling the urge to pack up and move somewhere new. New faces, new language, new culture, new cuisine, new landscape.

 

Toronto??

We are all you want

 

Too cold. I'm a summer all year round type of gal ;D

 

True

 

I need to find a place with warm weather all year round. Not tropical but hot is okay too. Help me!

 

Mediterranean ... not that cold in their winter.
