Or have yall noticed that there are people out there.. that are just out right ignorant? I mean Damn... do these people not understand that there is more to life than where they live.. the beliefs they hold or the friends they have?

I just had to tell a 17yr old girl off because she wanted to keep insulting me. As if i was a bad person. I said at one point that i found someone in my life that shares the same likes and dislikes as i do.. and she oh my.. thats scary.. i was like how so? and she had the gall to say this(no she was not kidding) "Well a pervert like yourself would be able to find anyone in this good Christian country that would share any of your likes."That is a direct qoute mind you.

Now i am very accepting person.. and i understand that different people have different beliefs and values.. but please someone tell me it was not just me but that comment is VERY rude and VERY hurtful. I took it very personally.. Now unless i get an apology from this person. i will probably never talk to her again.. but its just like Why would someone.. even consider saying something like that to another person. let alone someone who likes you and wouldnt mind being your friend? gad im soo heated up right now i can't even really type out what i want to think.. i'll come back in a bit when im not so frustrated and finish this thought

On a side note i just wanted to add so none of you worried its not getting me down

I was just angry about the comment because of how Ignorant this person is.

I am very comfortable with who i am and very comfortable with the people around me and this will in no way affect me. but it just erks me that there are people this close-minded out there.. and even more so it scares me because i met this girl through an X-rated Furry forum.

yall think it could be the fact that she's still just a kid and she doesnt know any better? i believe that would be it.. but i mean damn.. even as a kid i was quite open.

Oh Ranger *hug*...

There will always be people out there who are ignorant, tactless, two-faced, self-absorbed, and just plain nasty... the trick I've found is to smile and send them along. Remember, you can ignore them ~ they are stuck being themselves forever. As a pagan living in an incredibly conservative city, I face this kind of narrow-mindedness all the time.. You have my complete symphathy!

Ranger1930,

Intolerance and discourtesy will be with us always. I wish it were not so, but it is. Sharni recounted a rather similar experience in a recent thread.

Ranger1930,

Nuke the mothers!

...but in a restrained, civilized way, of course.
