Is this what we fight for?

[cloudmaster88]

I gotta agree with most of the people here it's hard a question...but I would say we judge, stereotype, and kill people...because, it depends on how the person was raised, if a kid's parent was a racist, prejudice person and he taught his son to hate everyone who was different of course the kid is going to turn out in most cases all racist, sexist, prejudice the kid only sees what is done in front of his eyes to him that's only thing that seems to teach him...so basically most people can turn that way because their parents were like that or the ways of the world was too hard on them....

for me its kinda just an excuse if someone tries to blame everything on the way of raising. for me everyone has to take responsibilities for whatthey are doing it doesnt mater what everyone else says... it doesnt matter what your friends family or anyone else says...as u still have the right to choose about your actions. because its not lie your parents tell you to abuse that one or this person ...its still all your work every each word you speaak to every each action you take .....

LOL ... in the end we all can only said that we do what we believe .. but does all of you finally realize something?

True Freedom is utopia. It is impossible just the same as when Hegel or Karl Marx or anyone from socialists and communist said that people are just the same. So every share of wealth should be distributed equally among people under the government's jurisdiction ... It is utopia either ...

Please do remember ... that human are made with differences so we can understand each other, but WITHIN LIMIT.

This LIMIT is what a lot of people don't understand while they are all walking everyday carrying this limit.

That's why people doing what we called as TRADING ... We all trade-in and trade-off between interest that match with our current, past, or future needs ... :)

Pretty simple. To live in the world where there is no complain is simply impossible. Because each people has different interest. There is no good and bad or right and wrong. It all depends on agreement. When we want to go back to our own heart, we will only see that every heart of every people just different. So, whose heart will be set as standard???

So just live with it :) and enjoy what you have now and be grateful with it and be happy with it, because when you see around, there are just many other who doesn't have what you have right now ... and they are dying to have them ...

Hm, I'm a blunt, straightforward, and honest person so don't hold it against me. I admit, I really wish I didn't mind how people looked like, and etc. But I'm embarrassed to hang around with Caucasians when my other Asian friends see, since we've had an incident with whites before. I don't like when overweights come to me and act all friendly, 'cause I got squished by one during PE. I was hit on by an older Hispanic and I don't care if he was just joking because it was pretty scary to me. I would rather sit next to Asians than blacks. I got transferred out of my old school for not living in the district and the people there were, for lack of a better word, ghetto. They bullied my brother and I for being the stereotypical intelligent Asian. I would have to say everyone has their preferences depending on how they were raised, their experiences, and etc. Judgment doesn't come on its own.

Society...society a question that one lurked in me, though what you say is really unrealistic. First off, judging people is a instinct where we category people in places from acceptable to unacceptable to just weird. Now I find it true, that be yourself and don't care what other people think. In this world, peace and equality is a just a illusionary tale since theres people that feel their bigger then life and think low of others, and wars will always be there since theres businesses that profit from such catastrophe, there will always be a difference in world, yin-yang a good side and a evil side. Now picture peace and equality around the world, think of like eagles coexisting with mices and small creatures....so from there, my question is what does the eagle eat now? The world works with such bad rules but its needed in order to give peace to others, its a chain of life and basically thats reality though thats my opinion.

Beautiful thread my friend, Bra-effing-vo!!!

You seem to show charisma in your posts, playa. Well, not contrary to your post, yes, that would be a nice world to live in. However, as you would know, not everyone here and in this world is from America, so they already have no obligation to consider everyone equal towards themselves. It's just the way the world is -- The human race isn't perfect, and we will try to stereotype differences to make ourselves feel higher through supremacy over the other.

For myself, I don't care about what another person's sexuality, religion, race, etc. It's what they are and I accept that, but if someone is going to insult me and stuff, I'm not just going to sit back and take it. I'll fight back myself with sexism, sexuality, race, religion, etc. because that's just how it is. Most of us, I believe, are discriminatory because we ourselves are targeted with the such and we obviously don't want to look like pushovers.

In bluntness to the question, I fight for myself -- No one else.

Ok forgive me if this is long, I tend to rant a little if it's something I feel strongly about.
Hm.. not to sound pessimistic because this is from a good-natured reply, but I doubt there ever WILL be solice on earth, we all wish to find a Utopia however the real truth is there will always be "Haters" to oppose those who are different; however we cannot judge them, or we are no different ourselves. We might have no idea how that person was raised, what experiences he/she went through, or what influences might bave befallen them, in the end it comes down to examining yourself. Are you satisfied at the path your life has taken? if not what could you do to change it for the result you want?

I, speaking from experience, can say that there are indeed times when I wished I wasn't a lesbian, however there are people out there like me, who are, and are alot worse off than I. It is THEM that I fight for, those who face such issues in blood while I sit safely here on my computer typing this. It does anger me knowing someone else has to face my burdens in a sense. Truth be told, I have faced prejudicy in the past and let me say it's not something we can just shrug off. Sure we all like to think we're impenetrable walls of mental titanium, yet when someone insults you infront of your friends in public, you won't be leaving there unharmed, whether physically, emotionally, or pshychologically. Anyway I fight for the people who don't fight for themselves, when I hear on the news about people who offed themselves because of a fact of life, it does piss me off to be honest; people kept nagging them until they finally couldn't take it and in the end the world will keep revolving, the sad fact is we all say we want to fight for something, and true we do all indeed fight for some cause however minute, however there will always be those people, or those things, we can't save, and it's for them I fight. It's for those who gave up, I fight.
Again sorry for the long post but this topic peaked my interest.

I fight for a world where people can get along.
We have one planet that the governments of the world have split up
and seperated its people.
By giving ourselves identities such as americans or iraqis
we have given ourselves the justification we need to stay seperated and essentially hate others.
but we all live on the same planet.
we all have the same organs.
and at the rate were going, were all going to kill each other.
haha, maybe a bit overboard
but thats what i fight for.

Our world today you cant be yourself and that sux!!!

gawd. I so totaly agree with you...

and sometimes, I feel like I wanna live in a better world, surrounded by people who think like me. but then, fact is, we need such treatement to help strengthen our personalitites and our sense of individuality.

even if that sounds a little too "optimistic", well, I guess we really can't do anything about it. that's how the world works. we can just try to live with it the best way possible.

what I fight for? I fight for my beliefs. my individuality. my hapiness and the people that are important to me.
