ake, :)
nice post lox,
it is awful that kids of every skin colour and every nationalilty can't play out all together.
if left to the kids themselves i don't think there would be a problem.
after all how much language is needed for tag or kerbie?
it seems to be us adults( and for myself i use the term very loosly) that seem to have the problem. some people think tht walking past a group of teenagers is threatening, but when you think about it they are just hanging out. this is the same for any group of people, it is the them and us thing. at festies it is folkies and locals. in inner cities it is still them and us.you will always have it, but we should try to make it decent people and wankers WHATEVER colour of nationalilty they happen to be.
if someone doesn't talk to me i tend to think of them as a snob or above chats no matter what the skin colour.
we have never been afraid to go into shops run by asians, or anyone else. the thing that gets me no matter what, is the loss of manners. if someone smiles at you it is polite to smile back.
i am not above making assumptions about people, no matter where they come from, we all do it but it is on what grounds we are judging someone that makes the difference.
i understand why if you are in a diferent country you would want to stick with those who are similar to you and speak your native tongue. we are all programmed to seek out others who are the same as us, the hard bit is trying to get out of the habit!
oh yes... tits while i like them, i do prefere them on someone who has a modicum of self respect! i too look down on those who go out get bladdered and get into trouble. i don't mind the odd flash but when sober please so you can at least remember who you have done it to!
ithink that both me and my other half were born one generation too late, as we seem to have the morals of our elders.. *dig* :)
it might seem like i am backtracking but i am trying to understand the way i look at things.
take care all
