Ending prejudice starts with YOU. And ME. And everyone else.

There are so many threads that discuss racism, however, they end up in arguments. If we would all stop responding sensitively and stop arguing back with people, then they don't have an audience.

Sure, prejudice exists, and will always exist, whether it be prejudices against social class, astrological sign, hair color, race, income levels, profession, etc.

However, we have the choice not to let it bother us and not to respond to it. When we respond, it just fuels the fire and often times reinforces said prejudice.

So, I take a vow not to respond. I promise to try to see the other person's point of view and understand where they are coming from. How about you?

We can't control what others think and do, but we CAN control how WE react to it.


And please, don't let this thread lead to a racist thread. I'm talking about prejudice of all kinds.

Then again, I have been a little outspoken against Gemini's. There are several on here that have made me re-think the opinion and I'm grateful for that. So, in my experience, just seeing things from their viewpoint has helped turn that prejudice around.

That's all I'm getting at.



No you're dislike of Gemini's was correct.

I would reopen my "haters" thread to ask if Saturn in Sag will fix it. Then I told to myself you'll get this: "This is an interesting thread coming from you.". So I didn't bother myself. I'll leave the world the way it was before me.

What a coinsidence. Last night I wacthed that South Park episode with future immigrants.

The poor human kind started building a better future in order to avoid the future immigrants. Then they felt it was too gay. And stopped it. (meaning future gonna happen to them, yeyyy)


YES, WE LOVE TO HATE EACH OTHER. FOR THE KICK OF IT.

No matter how many prophets they send (was it 124000?), we like the earth how it is. Animalistic, unsafe and always pregnant with the next world war.

I can't live with the fact that our perfect arabian-peninsula-made-religions will one day lose the game to the Confusianian/ist/s. Read this text from wiki, isn't it too gay?
Confucian ethics are described as humanistic. This ethical philosophy can be practiced by all the members of a society.[23] Confucian ethics is characterized by the promotion of virtues, encompassed by the Five Constants, or the Wuchang (—??), extrapolated by Confucian scholars during the Han Dynasty. The Five Constants are:
R?n (??, humaneness);

The fate of our future is in the hands of our children.

The most important thing is teaching them right from wrong, and trying to get them to understand nothing is perfect. All we can do is try for a positive light, and the only way is passing that light to the hearts of the youth.

Teaching without force the importance of equality is the greatest gift an adult could pass on.

Kids aren't born with hatred..it's taught, and apparently, they are being taught well in France.

Let's be honest...

We are all prejudiced, will always be prejudiced, and will never stop being prejudiced.

As long as you give people a chance to prove you wrong, it is NOBODY'S business what your initial prejudices are.



Ok let's be honest for a minute. Your statement is simply wrong.

You chose to be prejudice,
and you chose to continue being prejudice.

With an attitude like that you prove your own point.

Just remember not everyone wakes up ready to spread hate and pain. Some wake ready to help, others ready to change.

Why is it wrong if you choose to be prejudice—

If people turned purple tomorrow, they would still hate eachother and divide themselves into different categories, like:

East vs West

North vs South

English accent vs French accent

Democrat vs Republican

Liberal vs Conservative

Atheist. Vs Christian

Judaism. Vs Islam

New York City vs Los Angeles

Neighborhood vs Neighborhood

Favorite genere of music vs alternative

Etc Etc Etc Etc Etc.






There are simply too many of us for all to get along.

Larger group of people= stronger need of competition=stronger need of breaking down into smaller tribes all competing for the same resources.

I will admit you brought up a point. It's a point that directs you away from the meaning of life however. In this life you were given the chance to make change for the greater good, and not fall victim to the corrupt parts of the world we view around us. Everything you see is a lesson.

Just because other humans have done it does that make it right? If you seen a group of people and more then half of them jumped off a cliff, would you follow since that's what the majority did?

The more you hate and the more you divide the more corrupt and hateful you and all humanity becomes. Everyone has the ability to make change within themselves, and it all starts with you. You will learn how to embrace the best parts of life the wrong path has hidden from you.
