    Show me a person who doesn't judge other people and I'll show you a perpetual victim. :shrug:

    But of course, based on the criteria you use to judge people and the manner in which you go about it, I reserve the right to judge you an asshole.

    Ted, why is judging people exclusively negative in your world?

    I didn't think I was wired to buck against authority and stupid rules, eithere.

    Then I came here. :shrug:

    See, I buck against authority and stupid rules within limits.

    However I do it by, as one person put it, "thinking outside the box without going outside the box".

    I study the rules. I learn which ones I can break. When I can break them and get away with it. But I also look for where the rules are open Where I can stretch them.

    It isn't a frontal buck, more of a flanking maneuver in a way.


    However, such a situation isn't bucking the rules. I can't and never have been able to handel direct, face-to-face, confrontation. I always play the nice guy who lets it roll off his back. Not let it show.

    Some fuckers just need a punch in the face. :shrug:

    And by that, I don't mean a literal punch in the face in every situation...someone watching what you eat and commenting on it, no matter what your weight is, is just plain uncalled for and rude, and should be called out accordingly. You let a short tone of voice form a customer roll off your back. You don't smile and take it when a customer cusses you out because you accidentally short-changed them. No one respects the nice guy, Ted, they just don't. And many women especially seem to respond to assholes. :shrug:

    Yes, we all are. Anyone who says different is a liar.

    You are either a liar or you don't understand what judging is.

    Not all judgements are wrong, bigoted, or unfair. Every situation we enter, we make a judgement.

    It's not wrong to judge someone upon first glance.

    What's wrong is refusing to change your opinion of the person based on events that take place afterwards.

    Just do what you want, and fuck everyone else. The people that matter don't mind, and the people that mind don't matter.

    She's been rude to you. You're just deflecting it back. You'd defend yourself from a physical attack, wouldn't you?

    I am pretty short.


    I think people look down on me because of it.

    I'm hot, so it doesn't matter.

    Witty and informed too, with the ability to admit not knowing as much about a topic as the other person. You'd be amazed how well that works.

    Fits with the first. I'm a jeans and shirt type anyways, so it can't help but impress when I shine up with a suit.

    I make jewelery now, so I work at them as a seasonal market. We do fairly good trade vs the competition as all our stuff is original pieces and hand finished. Shit, a lot of it is handcrafted too.
