alright paul youre getting off topic. whos talking about pulp or b&s? im not
fanatical about any groups i listen to. i just like em. maybe if i wasnt a
musician, id hang posters of pop stars all over my wall..but i am, so i
dont. i dont idolize things that i am myself. but i think all obsessions are
rather silly. like idolizing musicians, actors, etc.
>As for my prejudices.
>Yes - ok - I suppose I AM prejudiced in many ways....... American culture
>for example. Not American people - just the culture.... the same goes for
>Italian culture, English culture etc.
and why is that? have you ever stopped to think of things american culture
has brought you? or are you just to blind and stubborn in your prejudice to
admit it? think paul think.
>I say prejudiced.... what I mean is that I acknowledge the fact that there
>are broad generalisations that probabilisticaly are more common than not...
>if you get me?
i get you perfectly.
>I'll admit that this at times makes me jump to wrong conclusions or
>whathaveyou - but nobody's perfect!!!!
no none of us are perfect paul, but its always nice to go into things with
an open mind and not just assume things cos someone is american or a rocker
or what not. ill admit, i assume the worst when asked out on a date, only
cos ive become rather jaded when it comes to boys..but how familiar are you
with americans and their culture paul? youre a brit! things you see on the
television dont count.
>I'm prejudiced as much against the British middle-upper classes as I am
>about Americans!!!!!!!!
>
thats fine, but prejudices in general just arent good, but im sure you
already know that!
>Still - I take every person for who they are....... if they act in a
>'stereotypical' way - it can be hard not to see them as a stereotype.
i just find that hard to believe secular. if you took people as they were
you wouldnt assume things..what have you already assumed about me because im
an american? more than youll admit im sure.
>Am I making ANY sense here??????????
yes. your views arent very new. ive heard them a million times before.
cheers,
