LOL... yeah, aren't they? But they are humorous.

No... it doesn't say preference... it says preconceived preference. It's the fact that the preference is based on incomplete information/experience.

I love you guys for opening my mind to a new way of thinking some days.

This really is a confusing topic.

I suppose the man/woman thing could go both ways, Windy. By experience, you prefer men to women as friends cause the women you know have been less then trustworthy. But, by hinting that women in general are not trustworthy is a preconceived idea generalizing ALL women and therefore prejudicial.

Windy I would say thats your preference. You are not basing your choice on preconcieved notions but actually what you have experienced.

Hmmmmm....

then maybe I do not have ANY prejudice after all...

come on folks... help me out... I need to find something to be prejudice about...


OK OK... I HATE the insurgents... but I have a reason... they keep bombing the crap out of innocent people.... is that prejudice?

But heres the catch JG.
Is Windy purposely stating away from woman? Does she meet a woman who is nice and helpful but says to her listen we cant be friends because your a woman and therefore not trustworthy? Thats why I say there has to be some power behind it to mean something. Because in the end if Windy says she is not befriending anymore woman based on a poor generalization then thats her loss. Its lacks any real power and it just becomes Windys ignorance. Now if Windy owns her own business and never hires a woman then we are talking problems.
No to say that there has to be power to be prejudice it just has more effect when you have the power.
Sorry Windy not to target you just going off your example!!!

I also think its generalizations. Choosing friends is a personal choice. You choose who you want. But if Windy said all woman are untrustworthy then thats being prejudiced.
I feel like I am in logic class....if the ground is wet and it rained then the ground is wet becasue it rained! lol

No... but I am a lot slower to open up to women... it takes me a lot longer to warm up to them...

However, the first time I see back biting tendencies... I am out the door...

I probably have (and this is not the friends I have developed on line) 3 really good grilfriends that I would trust with anything.

And even with the friendships I have developed on line... I would hope that I would feel as comfortable with say JG, JC, Kiki, Jelakins in person... but I do not know that I would right off the bat... even though they know sooooo much about me... but it probably would not take me as long as it would with a complete stranger.

NOT TRUE

i said balck people were not rasist cuz we didnt havet the power socially economicalyy and pliticlly to ....oh well whats the use.

i have always contended that u guys think the two are the same.. they are associated to one another but they are not the same.

i agreeto having predujudied thought and ideas...

predjudice ...look at the root word..is when u prejudge someone based on a lot of things mainly ignorance. or mostly cuz its what u have been taught. predjudice is a learned behavior..we al do it...on different levels...but we do. sometimes with malice sometimes without. predudice can also be reduced..when member work together...learning from one another...


preference is that i prefer pepsi to coke.

not the same at all

Just like with the LNs (local nationals) that work here...

They disgust me... because none of them that I have met take baths...

That makes me feel prejudice... and that makes me feel awful

but I can't help it... they get near me and my nose just turns up and I try to hold my breath as long as possible... ugggghhhhh

I am a horrible person. Because they are really sweet people...

didnt read the thread before posting...dint get past being misquoted by Jomos girl

Ohhhh... I have it...

There is a girl here that wears.... jeesh... these clothes and well she just looks like TRASH...

So me thinking she looks like trash even though I have barely spoken to her is being prejudice right?

and u ar absulutly right and correct...it is prejudging u.. stated from the begining that i admit to haveing some predjudiced thought and ideas...some might dissagree. but without malice..i was just being honest bout what i thought..and i dint apologize for my words but did apologise for offending u cuz i didnt intend to do so.

which is the last time i will apologise.

still got luv and respect for u urban......

instead of outrage behind the comment i would have loved for you to explain to me why my thinking was incorrect....instead od accusingme ao being a rasist. i could have been schooled to the wiser.

and windy im not going taint yor thread...thats my last comment here..back on topic

No not really... what you see keeps your thoughts from being able to be considered prejudice... If you had talked to her first then assumed she would look like trash, then that's prejudice..
