Country or Culture Bashing.................

[onewhocares]

Ok, I am the most non judgemental person on this site. I am thrilled to be a person who can care about everyone. NO ONE can have the honest and correct answer for each and every situation. I am SO grateful because if that, I can give you what I think, what I like.

i'm not judgemental... I hate everybody equally :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

lol I admit that i can be judgemental.... but in my defense its a aspect of a person that I get snorted off about, and not the person themselves......

i admit that I love everybody, not just everything about them lol

actually, i think we're supposed to be judgemental.

being comparitive beings, we hafta know what's good for us an what's not. :2cents:

I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
--Leonard Cohen, "Democracy"

I like to think I am sufficiently grown up not to bash country or culture as such, but those who are responsible for, as well as the actions, activities and philosophies of the representatives of both.

You cannot look upon anything or consider anything without making a judgement - consciously or subconsciously - on it

[bi-robin-calif]

Happyjoe, you're absolutely correct.

But at the same time--I may be wrong about this, but I suspect it may have been what started this thread in the first place--is that recently we've had quite a few people come to the forum who are not content with simply having their own judgements, but rather insist in spewing their hatred and venom all over everyone else.

It's been a bit disruptive.

Thank YOU Robin, that is exactly why I started this. We all have certain opinions, but in my estimation, to out and out try and hurt someone intentionally is just ignorance. It shows what little repect the person has for others as well as themselves. I am not naivee enough to think that we all have to agree..but common courtesy is a basic human element.

i am generally here to learn about others, learn about why others feel and do things differently than i. it's all about learning to understand the very different perspectives we all have here regarding sexuality, sexual orientation, desired type of sexual activity, and overall life wants and needs.

i am hoping to learn more about myself by identifying traits or values i have that differ from others.. i often wonder why i have always struggled to get close to people and why others tend to keep me at a distance.. maybe deep down, people suspected something "different" about me before i even knew myself what my issues were..

i tend to reject the concept of mainstream society, and i tend to frown upon those who have a problem with those who reject societal norms.

nobody should be forced into conforming to something they don't feel comfortable with..

<laughing> I can't help but remember the 60's, when we all dressed alike, talked alike, listened to the same music, did the same things--so that the "straight" people would know we were non-conformists expressing our individuality.

LOL Farout and What a rush!! I can still recall a few of those days as well...sometimes... so Power to the people! and Right On! Old Hippies never die we just become one with Lucy and fade into blissful oblivion :stoned:

....Almost cut my hair....could of said it wasn't my way...but I didn't...and I wonder why....

.......and I feel... like I owe it.... to someone
