RANT: I hate social norms, so anti openmindedness

[Pooks]

I hate social norms, they are so anti openmindedness and understanding.
Yes i understand some people actually have an ability to listen and understand and not manipulate, but unfortunately there are way to many who stick to the social norms, no matter how much u expain to them.

Like steroids for example. No matter how much u try n make them understand, there will always be people, who will say they hear you, but still try to manipulate you into giving them up. U can preach about your wants and goals, and aspirations, but they will still say, drop them all, and do something you don't like instead.

thank you.. ART ROONEY SAID THIS! LOL

you cant worry about those stuck in the social norm world. let them keep there unbiased oppinions, i choose to surround myself with people of my same nature and open thinking, therfore i very rarely have to deal with those types. the way i look at it is i fly my kite over here, they fly there kite across the field, if we stay a good distance apart , are wires wont get tangled,therfore no problems

ignorance.. and stupidity is bliss

Unfortunately, conservative assholes run our country. I sometimes wonder how we keep electing these anal retentive dicks into office. Ya know what I found interesting last semester in sociology, if there was a population of people who were completely perfect (didnt commit crimes, adultery, were intelligent, etc), they would still imprison people for things that would be considered against their ways, such as getting a B, cursing, etc. My point is that its really relative to the status quo of that civilization.

Reality is only your perception of what is really going on.

i know how you feel about this. i try to be openminded and sometimes i will catch myself prejudging people like emo kids and thugged out people and i have ot remind myself, "well everyone's got some weird shit about them."

Something I hate is if you dont automatically agree with someone then they try to label you as close minded. People are so afraid these days of committing themselves to anything because they are so afraid of these labels. Its almost like we are to have no opinion whatsoever. Everyone wants to be a centrist. To me thats having no spine.

true, but i've come back to a more c'est la vie attitude after being more hardline in my early 20's. the more shit i know, the more i realize the less i know.

one thing i hate is the double standard in terms of prejudice. for instance if you make a comment about mexicans everyone in most circles will jump all oer you as an ginorant asshole etc. but then those same people feel nothing wrong with making fun of others based on their accent or the way they dress etc.
