prejudice you mean?

[Kizzy]

Yep...cant change the thread title either fml...lol

[CharlieO]

I am prejudice. I judge people on their appearance. I don't care about it though, if they don't want to be judged I say they should try look better.

[Redway]

Based on swagger. :(

Try not to, though.

I think most of us are prejudiced in some form or other about different things. I personally am prejudiced against morons, such as Simon Cowell...

Regarding the Independent article:

"Seventy per cent of Britons would not consider having sex with someone who had a physical disability, according to the most recent survey of the nation's opinions on sex. Just over one in four would not rule out the possibility, while only 4 per cent have had sex with someone with a physical disability."

Seventy percent of people are pretty shallow. Some people are very superficial. Whilst I acknowledge that first impressions count, and that looks are normally the first thing that most of us notice, a personality is a pretty determining factor in a relationship. Why anyone would rule out having sex with a person who has a physical disability is beyond me? Never say never.

Well if the question is purely about sex then most people would answer primarily with attractiveness in mind

Physical attractiveness? Of course (although sex goes deeper for some), but why would they rule out the possibility? Just because someone has a physical disability does not necessarily make them any less attractive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyhow.

Hmm.. talking of prejudice, am I the only one that was shocked by the German fella being booed on BGT last night??

[Kazanne]

No,Ammi I was taken aback too and glad Simon told them all 'it was a long time ago now' very ignorant of the audience imo.

I was disgusted. It's worry to think that some people feel like that. Hopefully they mature soon

[GypsyGoth]

I agree, it was like he said he was from the taliban, I thought it was disgraceful.

[Mystic Mock]

I don't watch BGT but that is disgusting,he wasn't involved in Hitler's sick schemes.

[MTVN]

Bloody Germans http://www.emotty.com/images/emoticons/773.png




No but seriously, that was very stupid

[joeysteele]

I am not I hope prejudiced,(except maybe against Cheryl Cole),Simon Cowell's comment when the opera duo came on was at first annoying and then after he had to eat his words sickening at his backtracking,
He had already judged that guy on his appearance when he made that comment,I found that really bad from him on BGT actually.

Simon is a very shallow man Joey,why do you think it's always the cutsy boy or the pretty girl that always wins X Factor? the same seems to happen on BGT by the looks of things.

I was shocked at that too at the attitude of the london audience :shocked:

LOL...I think you meant Lee...I hate it when people put words in my mouth...LOL

[King Gizzard]

I've prejudice against people called Ammi

[King Gizzard]

and to be fair, we just generally have a rivalry with Germany now. Sure it has WW undertones, but it progressed onto football amongst other things
