yes.

of course, one is also prejudiced in favor of certain things.

people who complain about how difficult their children are and yet feed these children soda and anything else they can find wherein the second ingredient is corn syrup or sugar.

Like, "hockey" is a thing, but "hockey players are all a bunch of assholes with something to prove" is a prejudice. Is it safe to assume that all of the lists of things that people are putting up are expressing the prejudice of "i think that all [that thing] suck"? These are lists of things against which the poster has a miscellaneous negative prejudgement?

the original intention was to talk about prejudices which are kind of silly and don't stand up to reason or my higher ideals. I like to think of myself as a reasonable kind of guy but these prejudices affect my actions in small ways. it's different from 'here's a list of shit I hate', but I guess it's all good intolerant fun.

People above 17 who wear Black Flag/Negative Approach/Misfits/etc. t-shirts.

Anyone who throws up the devil horn hand gesture (extra points if they stick out their tongue when they do it).

Guys in "Castro hats".

Teenage girls who talk about Myspace profiles on the subway. Actually, fuck that - ALL teenage girls, ALL people with Myspace profiles, and ALL people who ride the subway.

Parents.

Very tall people.

-Guys named Chad or Keith
-Guys in tight girlie jeans
-People who drive large trucks, Hummers, riced-out econoboxes
-Non-executives, non-salesreps or non-frequent-business-travelers with Blackberries
-Those that dress/appear thuggish
-Those with excessive body-mods
-The heavily religious
-The heavily political
-suburbanites

no shit . . . I used to teach middle school and had plenty of these kids. the parents would put them on drug after drug for ADHD or whatever, I was constantly talking with their shrinks and filling out observation forms, and I'd get in hot water with the administration for pointing out that the kid's lunch every day was a jumbo Butterfinger and a 16 oz. Code Red Mountain Dew.

since moving here i have no problem with REAL hippies. they actually have my respect to a large degree. they live in buses and make their own biodiesel (or run on veggie oil) out of restaurant waste, they don't contribute much to society at all and yet they get by, doing what they do. they drop out to a very large extent.

my problem is with the people who think they are hippies because eat (too much) vegan, have nappy hair, kucinich (or worse) stickers all over their VW vans (which, BTW, do not leave a small carbon footprint) or subaru wagons (also not great gas mileage), and wear patchouli, which smells far worse than a couple of days worth of BO. these are the "hippies" that won't eat meat, yet wear leather, they eat everything soy, most of which comes from the same megacorps they say they oppose. you see my point. these same hippies fly to hawaii for vacation. um...jets emit a LOT of bad gases.

real hippies? you go! hippies!
