ok, well, today i went to wendy's for food (yes, i was actually eating! omg... not) anyway, and i looked on the receipt, and it said 'ya'll come back!'... well, i felt that it was completely idiotic of them to try and appeal to southerners by using 'southern' talk on their receipts. not even all people who live in the south talk like that. i know that i myself have rarely in my life, if ever and not purposely to make fun out of it, let out a 'ya'll'... and i have many people who will back me up on that. Frankly i think that stereotypes are a complete waste of time. the only thing that they accomplish is to make people who try to be themselves feel out of place, and force those of a weaker will to bend to the expectations society has set for them, and to lose their sense of self in an attempt to be accepted by society, when, in truth, they still aren't accepted by society, their actions are accepted by society. if i were to go to a new school, and dress "right" and act "right" then facade that i gave to the world would be accepted, though if they ever knew the real me, they would more than likely reject me. I believe that I, myself, have moved past the brainwashed mode of thinking, and rather than basing my beliefs on people as what they are, i base my opinions on people as to who they are. I know that I personally would hate to have everybody make impressions of me by the way i dress, or the music i listen to, or the make-up i wear, or who i hang out with. I find it utterly ridiculous that while people preach about treating men and women the same, and people of different races the same, and people of different religions the same, and to not discriminate against them for their differences in these areas which are all quite deep and personal, people still are so shallow as to base their feelings on someone distinctly because of the color clothes they wear, or the bands they listen to. you would think, that having moved past being biased on such grounds as religion, or race, people would know to look deeper than the surface. For they are already looking deeper than biological roots and personal beliefs. Unfortunately, that is not the case, and we still live in a world run by superficial, shallow clones draped in misery, secrets, lies, and deception. We still are subject to people who are afraid to explore the depths of their own mind in an attempt to be accepted for that which is acceptable. Where people would rather discard the truth of themselves to be replaced by a plastic perfect barbie with the plastic perfect life. and all the raggedy-ann dolls, are simply cast aside in this nightmarish "perfect"-only place we dementedly call home, for where else is there that we can live?
