Dear ppl that stand at the skytrains and hand out free newspapers...

[Genotype]

take everything you do very seriously, but dont be serious about everything you do....

We all just gotta lighten up a bit, be a lot more tollerant of each other, that is on a global level.
And for Christ's sake!
listen to the people that nead to be heard, they are the end result of all of our mistakes...
And those who do not learn from their mistakes, are damned to repeat them.
We are all still learning.
Now... how bout that teaching strike.

uhh, wtf you don't know me at all. i just don't want to take a paper, because they're on the table in the lunchroom at my work everyday. it's annoying to have to say "no thanks" to every person i pass, but i do it because i'm polite like that. i hold no grudge against the people, just the fact that i have to say "no thanks" 7 times on my way to work. how is that in any way prejudiced?

i should not be annoyed because some of them are trying to get their lives back on track? no one ever said they shouldn't be doing the job. it's similiar to when a jehovah's witness comes knocking on my door, or when a telemarketer calls me and tries to sell me something; i treat the person politely and with respect, but the act is annoying. i understand why they do it, but it's annoying. no prejudice, no hate, just annoyance, and it's justified.


as for your quote, no one said anything of the sort, you're misconstruing the words and topic to try and prove an irrelevant point.

Hey Gusto!

This thread was amusingly hateful, however I think that everyone here (Re: EVERYONE) needs to calm a bit and, like others said, be a little more tolerant of each other's view points. Just because you don't agree with their opinion does not give grounds to go bashing each other. Fable - If you are annoyed at ignorance, than point it out. But putting them down because of it is not helping, it's procreating.

gusto: i was never commenting on how you reacted to the subject in point, i commented on how you SUPPORTED the opinion of said subject, and played it off as no big deal. Thats really all i was trying to communicate to you.

This thread was amusingly hateful, however I think that everyone here (Re: EVERYONE) needs to calm a bit and, like others said, be a little more tolerant of each other's view points.

This statement is almost correct. I should be more tolerant of comments born of ignorance, but I WILL NOT be tolerant of comments that come from the same well as oppression, predjudice, public mockery of peoples economic situation and they ways(legal/socially accepted) means of survival.

I admit the most effective course of action is through specific tolerance, education and information, but its high time we expose those who bread misinformation, however subtle or benign. Id rather mince words now, then have to have to resort to less effective and ultimately damaging means later.

quoting every word in the dictionary doesnt make you smart!

hahaha thats WEAK!

Correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure that dictionaries are COMPLETELY COMPRISED OF WORDS?? So it would be safe to say the words that i use come from a dictionary? I am so smart...s+m+r..t!

that THREAD was about how some old friend didnt say hi, and you felt it was such a serious issue, that you needed to post about and RELATE it to karmic energies?! Then turn around and talk shit about other people, which was such a IMPORTANT issue that you needed to POST IT AGAIN.

truly, perhaps i am obsessed - obsessed with how HYPOCRITICAL AND IGNORANT you are, your not a young little girl any more, so stop speaking like one - you forget how influential our words can be, and how other people take them out in the world.

SO THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK! WRITE! I think thats all im trying to convey, if your not a shallow airhead, then dont speak like one!

Its all fun and games until you talk about things that ARENT fun and games - ya dig, this is all im trying to say.

my reactions my demean me in the long run, but its a matter of principe

you my darling are a CUNT

"excuse me, i was wondering if you could help me out for a sec?"

"sure what do you need?"

"im trying to look for akeels point?"

"did he even have one?"

ill try to clarify, quel hombre, this all boils down to to a comment i believed was predjudiced and hatemongering. Somewhere down the road, i used the word CUNT, hence i fucked myself, and any legitemacy i had.

BUT how that makes the initial observation any less relevent - im not sure?

How one can point out karmic issues, and then spout predjudice elsewhere, and be taken seriously i dont know?

the clipart was clever, but if you are insinuating that i have to be polite, and proper when calling out someone on the terms that i did, i disagree.

If you are insinuating that to fight against any sense of social or political oppression i have to be squeeky clean myself, i disagree. On most platforms where we would dictate such things such as morality, are so obscure, and intangible, one most hold on to the principle and hope to hell that he/she doesnt let go in course of the ride. How praytell is this indacative of "talkn shit?" unless of course its based on the idea that perhaps you dont care about the topic as much as i do- in which case "talkn shit" becomes subjective, and i could care less.

I swore, and used a name, but the only person i attempted to call out, and perhaps alientate in the process was herself.

Id rather not debate on this too much further, i do admit i should of let go awhile ago, and the one thing i will give you, is that now im bringing myself to a level of immaturity. With saying that, i dont understand any of your points, although for probably the first time youve managed to come close to make one- so i give you credit.

The referee has a position of status and power. he controls the uncontrolable, and wields judgement like a scathe. Holding the balance of life and death in a domain that is in essence his to command. And yet the referee will never see the goal, so far in the distance. For he excuses himself from the battle, and soon understands, that one must be willing to bleed, in order to breath, one must be willing to travel the halls of ignorance and hate, and sunder, if one is willing to live free, one must be willing to die unseen.

pleading ignorance is not a defence.

That is the point - how do you intend to fight prejudice and hatemongering when you suffer from those same two afflictions yourself?

And if your end goal is to elimate prejudice and suffering, you should start by eliminating it within yourself.

Read what you wrote...now apply it to yourself.

Secondly, do you really think she's contemplating the realities of global injustices...or just having a rough day and venting a little? hmm.

So what you're saying is that even though she can't be annoyed at the paper boys and perhaps choose to not say "thank you"...you feel that you can demean and belittle all you want to prove a point, that the paper boy is suffering! He could have been addicted to crack! show some sympathy! you're a dumb cunt! and you're too old to be that dumb! cunt!

Which makes you a hypocrite.

Exactly what are you saying here? You've strung together a bunch of non-sensical banterings which really don't mean anything.

I have morals...but on the internet...the concept of morality is vague...so I should shove it in everyones face so they know how moral I am. Does that mean I'm talking shit? I dont think so, because I care about all the shit that I talk...so therefore, i'm not talking shit.

I hate to see what happens if mcdicks forgot to supersize your fries.

Actually, you've alienated everyone who became involved in a discussion with you. I think you should take this quiz.

You've brought yourself to this level of immaturity many times...despite the fact that you preach on and on, endlessy about this and that, the majority of your threads eventually take on the offensive, belittling those that you feel may not be "educated" or "aware" of these "so-called global injustices" etc. etc. blah blah...clearly you have some sort of superiority complex...reading the paper everyday that you get handed to you by some crackhead for free does not make you an authority. Being involved in some scene or other does not make you an authority. Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. Your own morality tells you to preach and teach...you just need to recognize not everyone wants to be preached too.

btw...

I've been on this board a long time. you've made a blanket statement regarding my intelligence and i find that derogatory and offensive. Thus you've pigeon-holed me into a posiition of lesser standing then yourself and made assumptions upon who I am and what decipherability I have with this being only the second of one of your tirades I've been involved with. Do you think its fair to make such a broad generalization based on only 1 post?

it only spiralled out of your control.

if you ever had control. after reading these last few posts, i don't think you did.

[veN]

Hey now guys... I understand that that must be a bit annoying to deal with on an ongoing basis. However, Like Tim (and others) said, they are just doing their job. And also, atleast 3 people in this thread spoke of having the same experience on their way to work (I know there was more, I grew tired of skimming thru the arguing to count)... Try and count how many people you recognize on your route to work that are also on their commute. Sure you see the same paper distributers every day, but they see you and hundred of other commuters every day too. Even if they do recognize you, I don't think they can remember who does and doesnt like a paper. What's the harm in asking, bc one day you just might say yes.
