Bubsa Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 By the way, it's interesting to read this thread and the "What's your reputation?" thread. Quite a few contradictions. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apinagez Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Nowdays, prejudice isn't expressed as it was, let's say, 50 years ago. There's no longer physical violence and the authorithies are now, supposedly, against prejudice/racism. Today, it's much more psycological, and, as a psycological agression, you can train your mind to "ignore" it, or make it less painfull. Of course you still won't have as many opportunities as you would if you weren't a victim of prejudice, but it won't feel so bad for you. With time, and with that kind of attittude prejudice will slowly disappear. Of course it's not easy, that's why the prejudice problem is still unsolved, on this I agree partially with you: of course you will still suffer, but you can suffer less. You would suffer if you got angry every time you were victim of prejudice, if you ignore it, you may suffer less. Your example blows my point, because it's an example of what would happen 50 years ago: you can't ignore the KKK chasing you, but you can try to ignore a shop keeper that thinks you are a criminal. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but there are equally racial acts like this going on today. At least, there are where I live. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Bubsa Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 There have been race riots (quite) near my area in the past few years. My friend's father was rejected from his job for being black (I have to go on his word, of course, but from that it was pretty obvious). I mean, I personally see judgement on race becoming prejudice regardless of whether people cared. My mate's dad didn't care, he just wanted the best qualified person for the job to get it. That was him, and he didn't. Last Christmas, the whole idea of 'political correctness' went ridiculous. Christmas lights couldn't be called that as councils said it may offend Muslims, Jews and other people with different religions. I'm no religion and it didn't affect me, I know lots of Muslim people and they didn't care either. I appreciate this just might be my cultural area, but from here, judgement, or rather false judgement, has become prejudice, no question. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

apinagez Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Where I live there haven't been anything like racial riots in a very long time, but of course job discrimination still happens, and that's the kind of discrimination that, in my opinion, can be solved by the change of mentality I explained. Political correctness is usually ridiculous, I'd even say it's a new form of prejudice. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealist Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Yeah. I'm judged probably everyday. I don't care though. :D People can think what they want about me. I have nothing to prove to them. No respect for them either. Are you a tomboy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandaman115 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Yeah...well...I judge people... :oops: And I can tell when people judge me. Especially in school. :roll: All them damn [bleep]s.... ^Haha, didn't know they changed it to another word. :lol: [Admin Edit: No naming names in a negative light] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quakingmoose Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 well... being arab...in a american school... i get judged pretty badly :cry: what people may say... on rs and in rl " Please don't boom me !" :notalk: Thats really ignorant of people. Just because you may be arab doesn't mean your going to "bomb" them. A whole race shouldn't be judged because of the actions of some people. Anyways, at my school I get judged and labeled everyday as an "emo". Its really annoying, I just choose not to pay attention to them. 3 Solo Hilts (2 Saradomin, 1 Bandos)10 Solo Saradomin Swords48 Abyssal Whips217 Barrows Items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenValerie Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I do not judge people by there book cover, I let there true colors show and if I don't like what I see, then I move on. As for people judging me, I really don't care what others have to say about me because I am my worst critic. So anything they have to say to me I already know about myself. And I still wuv myself. :3> :wink: No- one is perfect or the same thank goodness cause that would be just too boring for me. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw, thank you, MPC. ^_^ People do tend to call me a tomboy. Even my parents. I'm not a "typical" girl. I don't like shopping, I own one pair of shoes, I own most of my male friends at Halo and other video games, I wear T-shirts, and I can't cook.

Rizla Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I probably do get judged because i listen to metal and have a facial piercing, but i don't let it bother me. The only people that will pass judgement on me because of my appearance are the kind of people i wouldn't want in my life anyway. Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.

SirHartlar Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 (looks at post topic) dumb question... every one does. if you dont think you get judged, you probably dont know it, but you do. Ok well you did point out that it was a dumb question so I forgive you. If you read my post you would have known that I get judged and I am absolutely aware of it.
