Doesn't make it any less despicable but knowing where it comes from helps in combating it.<br /><br />I personally believe that reacting like this to insecurities is "normal" and something that we have to taught to overcome.Brucehttp://web.me.com/yensid98noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4013521694510942639.post-61496653323821979942010-11-29T15:25:48.569-08:002010-11-29T15:25:48.569-08:00That sucks.

That's why I prefer the company of other geeks, we seem to be a pretty accepting and affable bunch. <br /><br />When in doubt always ask, "what would Picard do?"

Sadly enough the easiest way most people find to give themselves a boost is to pick on whoever they can especially if they aren't able to defend themselves or understand what is happening.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029318414508201805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4013521694510942639.post-69407689898040285302010-11-29T14:42:58.981-08:002010-11-29T14:42:58.981-08:00That's horrible.

But it's still disappointing.<br /><br />It's definitely learned. My guess is if the ladies or the teenagers were by themselves they wouldn't have been so mean. Their nasty behavior is socially reinforced as acceptable by their ignorant friends, unfortunately.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720648615934513486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4013521694510942639.post-53175482114876332102010-11-29T14:39:50.289-08:002010-11-29T14:39:50.289-08:00Maybe we're not all born mean. I truly think ...Maybe we're not all born mean. I truly think being mean or rude is learned mostly...but I think some or more inclined to certain ways. My parent's were very strict about being polite and teaching us how to act in public particularly. Manners is also one of the big reasons I was attracted to my partner initially. He had the same kind of background. Maybe it's breeding. I think people are lazy in this point in time and don't take the time with their kids.Daleyhttp://www.twitter.com/dalestainesnoreply@blogger.com
