    I hate it when people make snap judgements.

    Lets take an example of what I mean

    -------------------------------------------

    Say Joeman smells a bit today

    He's walking down the street and passes two attractive ladies

    They can smell him

    They laugh and comment 'Have a bath, loser'

    Joeman is hurt, but angry

    --------------------------------------------

    They have already decided that Joeman smells because he doesn't bath

    What if he can't take a bath

    Maybe his plumbings broken

    Maybe the water has become contaminated

    Maybe he's hydrophobic

    Maybe he has something wrong with his sweat glands

    Who knows.

    As I said, this is an example, but there are many different scenarios like this where people assume things that they shouldn't

    Your thoughts please

    Good show

    Thor

    Any commentary here would merely spoil your topic post and my hopes for what it can communicate.

    Thank you. Thank you.

    peace & harmony,
    Tiassa

    Thor and Brolly, couldn't you two arrange a meeting at the corner of the street to tell each other you have stupid hair?

    Just an idea...

    No, im with Thor on this.....

    Im sick of people making false assumptions.. LIke Okay, maybe i DO have a gun in one hand... and yeah maybe a bag of money in the other hand with 'Bank' written on the bag... But does that automatically mean i have robbed the bank down the road. Maybe i just bought a gun, wanted to show the tellers, and was just clearing a bit of room in the safe so they could get MORE money..... people are so judgemental..... tsk tsk

    strangers?
    i take them at face value

    i dont need to know why joeman stinks but just that he does.
    it is not an assumption but a fact.
    in the unlikely event that i would wonder why brother joe stinks,
    2 possibilities come to mind, he doesnt bathe or he has body odor.
    now i am supposed to figure out his medical and plumbing problems? i am too wrapped up in my own miserable little existence

    its different tho when one has to interact with a person in a social or professional level. in certain situations i would readily start making assumptions. for example at a job interview, getting copped, with family members..... and hope i am not mistaken

    its nice to live where i do cos the average person here is nice and non-judgemental.
    if one wants to be cynical it could also be said that we really dont give a fuck about each other. eye contact with strangers is something not done here. the most is a furtive peak thru the window of your car

    sorry agent@5
    i gotta call 911

    Conclusion is not something I need to jump to. I do not "reach" for conclusion either. Conclusion is arrives by itself. Here are some samples but you guys can look around.

    In the thread "Bloody Americans"

    This thread

    His responses to A4Ever's request to keep ugly hair conversation between him and Thor.

    "Miss Sciforums 2002"
    "Great Sandwhichs"
    "ah poop"
    "Buh-Bye"
    "Bye"

    I didn't say Joeman smells. I said 'Say Joeman smells'

    Sorry Joeman for using you as an example
