Prejudice

Recommended Posts

What with the out pouring of hate and irrational thinking about homosexuality and islam in recent weeks it got me thinking about prejudice in general.

I myself am guilty of prejudice too. If I see a young lad wearing a tracksuit tucked into his white socks wearing white trainers, with his hand down his front and swaggering like a retard I instantly think oh fuck this twat is going to ask me for a cigarette. When I tell him I don't smoke he is going to struggle to understand basic English.

Now I know that my thinking is unfair on this poor individual but I still think it. If I saw a group of neds on one side of the street, a group of asians on the other side and I needed to ask for directions. Every time I would ask the asians.

 

At least I know that my prejudice is wrong though.

 

What do people think of neds?

 

Lets get out all this hatred towards society's scumbags (aka neds) on one thread.

i believe everyone is prejudiced against something or someone. you're raised a certain way, in a particular environment and then have various life experiences that may not allay those prejudices, or in fact, you may develop more.

 

i have many. i also know that, for the most part, they are just that: a "preconceived opinion not based on reason or experience". and as a rational adult, try to force myself to not act on them.

 

do i feel comfortable when i see two men kissing? no, not really. but i know it's my problem, not theirs. and that my discomfort comes from my own lack of being used to it, rather than the behaviour being wrong.

 

i also have prejudices against biker gangs (based on only limited second or is it third-hand experiences? i'll give them a wide berth), large clusters of loud teenagers hanging about (they're no doubt about to cause trouble, rather than just hanging about doing nothing wrong and having a good time), and Asian commuters in Toronto (they're rude and pushy). My feelings may have been true of a small sampling, but can't be considered conclusive proof of an entire group's actions, always.

Everyone has prejudices and everyone stereotypes people. Anyone that says they don't is a liar. A lot of stereotypes are stereotypes because they're true then some are just in jest. People from different parts of the world are going to have different traits, good and bad ones. You should try to respect the locals wherever you are in the world and if you can't then you shouldn't go to that part of the world. When I see a Muslim with a long beard I'll think to myself, he probably hates the locals but I'll try to be rational and give him a chance and see what he's about. Probably wouldn't walk down the street with him though :laughing:

I'm having a hard time thinking about any actual demographic that I feel strongly towards one way or another.

 

I like the Germans. I really like Japanese women.

 

Oh, hang on... I actually have a very strong dislike for Israel. A modern day NAZI state complete with the worlds largest concentration camp.

 

I used to hate Rangers fans until their team went extinct.

 

Racists, homophobes, in fact all narrow-minded, low-IQ scum, to bundle it into one handy package.

 

That's about it, I think. I don't care if someone is gay, straight, bi, black, white, yellow, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or otherwise, if you're cool and don't act like a dick then you're fine by me.

 

Too many people seem to be addicted to curtain-twitching. Worrying more about what other people think and do rather than getting their own shit in order.

 

I think mental illness is a growing problem, there's at least three people on this board alone that I think genuinely require medication/psychiatric help... although I don;t really have strong feelings one way or the other about the mentally ill either. That's what the block function is for... ;)

I don't like people who have a negative outlook on life or who folk who choose not to get over things.

 

I don't like people who via their actions or manner, consider themselves superior in some way and/or don't care how their actions affect others.

 

I don't like people who feel that they are owed something for one reason or another i.e. race/religion/economic status etc.

 

 

 

I probably dislike these attributes when I find them in others as I recognize them in myself sometimes often, sometimes less and I have to get by them/subdue or apologize for them.

I doubt I would block anyone to be honest. even the likes of Thomas caledonia Hamilton. he is probably the most retarded and nastiest person on here but it is fun watching him prove that with every post.

 

I think you're probably a little more vicious than I am, though. comedians are well known to be manic-depressive, sadistic sociopaths with a penchant for goading people into self-harm.

 

No offense, like.

Maybe this is my little personal thing; I don't know but I really wish that you wouldn't use T****** H*******'s name.

 

By doing so I feel that you are, in a way keeping his memory alive.

 

This is undeserved.

you couldn't be more right.

 

I actually tried to convince a work colleague to do us all a favour and kill himself.

 

I said it doesn't have to be elaborate. just don't leave a mess for us to clean up.

Funnily enough I upset some EDL lad a couple of days ago.

 

Tommy Robinson was ranting on Youtube about how violent Muslims are, and then I remembered that Tommy had been convicted of assault... and of course fraud.

 

I did point out that it was quite funny that someone convicted of violent crime should be complaining about people being violent.

 

Then someone called me a "dumb stupid fuck" [sic] because I'd upset him.

 

That was quite hurtful.

It's not like I am building a shrine to him. What about all the other poor souls who are also called Thomas Hamilton?

 

One day you'll be saying the same about Caledonia when he finally flips about homosexuality and immigration being on the school curriculum and he goes on the rampage.

Tommy is an intelligent man and a great orator, listen to what he has to say properly, he speaks so much sense and is brave as fuck putting his life on the line with his stance, he would make a great politician.

Compared to you he is practically a genius. However compared with anyone of above average intelligence he is a slavering imbecile.

 

Just saying like.

I like the fact I get under your skin, you're my bitch on here, :laughing:

 

In real life we both know you would say nothing to my face, I like that we both know that too. :checkit:

I like the fact that you have no control over me whatsoever and I would have no qualms saying anything to your face. The prospect of you using violence towards me would merely prove that you don't even have any control over yourself.

 

I am too wise and cynical to be irked by the likes of you.

 

I only joined this site to wind up retards like yourself and I am having a ball.

Who mentioned violence?

 

I'm the least violent person you could ever meet.

 

And you don't wind me up, I think lefty plums are good fun.

I mentioned violence.

 

so you don't think I would say stuff to your face. anyone who knows me knows that is bullshit.

 

you don't know me but somehow think I wouldn't.

 

then again you think I am student. you're not very good at sussing people out are you?

Your level of retardation would make that tough.
