Yes, I'm saying EVERYONE who changes their physical appearance in ANY WAY is only doing it because there are people around to see it. That's my argument. If you disagree, you disagree, but don't tell me I'm wrong because it's a "generalization", as if all generalizations are wrong just because they're generalizations.

Maybe someone with an actual opinion on the damn subject can actually demonstrate to me why someone would modify themselves if not just for attention.

Didn't realize you spoke for that entire community.

when did i say that i did

i'm speaking from a perspective of just pure logic

I'd rather be dead than red.

...but seriously, there are lot of things that can happen to a person where death is preferable.

that's an interesting avatar

funny how it lists morphine as a narcotic, not an anesthetic

I know, it's likely because of its similarity to heroin.

okay, apparently it's an analgesic, not an anesthetic

and the difference between the two is that analgesics relieve pain without removing your senses
whereas anesthetics are characterized by their removal of sensations

the more you know

LMAO.

This is literally the stupidest thing you've ever said.

probably not

i know the truth hurts, but

Hmm. Actually, rather strange. Tattoos or piercings, sure. But.....thinking on it.

Why put any on the face? Piercings or tattoos? If we're talking aesthetics, then let's think about the fact that I think, most people don't sit around and stare at their own face all day.

no matter what people tell you, the only reason people modify themselves in any way, whether it be makeup or piercings or dying their hair, they're doing it to try to impress other people

i never bought the whole "i do it for myself" shit
i think that's just a feel-good lie

lol

they're literally ALL THE FUCKING SAME

Drink alcohol. I've done it before.

woah, look the fuck out

No.

mine was relatively easy

lots of going commando fans, i see

well i just never saw the point of scaring yourself, personally

it's not that i scare easily--i just don't see the point of it in principle

jim has the most puerile concept of philosophy on this website

because he's not real

Numerous psychology experiments actually proved that people do follow racial stereotypes at a subconscious level. Some people display more prejudice than others but essentially "Everyones a little bit racist."

precisely

I don't believe that they are. I've never seen a person who wasn't a complete and utter retard claim that black people are faster because they're black. I've no doubt they believe that there is something about black people which makes them faster, as I described, but they don't assume that it is because of their skin colour.

welcome to america

i'll remove it from the list, i suppose, but this is the funny thing about this argument

what you're doing right now, essentially, is arguing for my point--that race is a social construct
because the point of contention is with the people who say correlation = causation

"they're black, so that must mean they're x, because they're black"
"they're jewish, so that must mean they're y, because they're jewish"
"they're chinese, so that must mean they're z, because they're chinese"

and while it's true that only retards may believe this, the human race is indeed comprised of retards, so
i don't really afford them much credit sometimes on these issues

but i'm just saying, denying that it's a social construct makes you sound exactly like those people
so... be careful?
