  • Thanks for helping me through this!    As I think more about it I am amazed at how some people are content to remain that simple minded about new people and situations.  Especially if they don't have a mental condition (I don't think anyway...) that precludes them from learning new things.  That's scary that someone would choose to remain that way.  I think that is part of why it upset me.  How can you deal with something like that?  Why would you want to remain that uneducated and narrow minded?

  • fear? Sometimes I wish I could blame things on being uneducated or narrow mindedness, or - in my case - a bad accent. And maybe I am all three, and am just to arrogant to notice. ~ ponders ~ can you tell I haven't had my coffee yet?

  • Fear keeps people from doing a lot of things that would greatly improve their lives, the most notable probably being learning a new way of thinking.

  • I guess fear could be a reason... maybe it is.  I think a bigger reason is that it's just easier to remain ignorant.  I personally don't get it, either, but I don't worry myself about it.  Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.    :)  

  • I like to think of myself as "eccentric", rather than weird.    Embrace your inner eccentric!
