009 ♣ [voice]

[doubleoohbaby]

When presented with a character well known to many, is it really fair to judge them entirely upon what you've seen or heard of them in the past? Is there not the very real probability of misrepresentation upon the creators behalf

What world are you living in?

I'm pretty sure girls get called lots of things if they hang out with a guy for an evening.

[doubleoohbaby]

And does that sort of idle name calling offend you>

voice;

[prettymorlock]

I wouldn't call what's commonly said about about a woman who does that to be idle name calling.

voice;

[doubleoohbaby]

Sticks and stones. No name calling is anything more than that.

voice;

[prettymorlock]

Seriously?

Words are powerful. They can be used as weapons to hurt a person or a group of people. And that old little rhyme about sticks and stones and bones is crap. Words can be very hurtful.

[doubleoohbaby]

You speak with the bitter tone of experience.

voice;

[prettymorlock]

Maybe.

voice;

[doubleoohbaby]

I wouldn't fear the ones that speak. It's the ones that stay quite that you need to watch for.

voice;

[prettymorlock]

Not always. The ones that speak can incite the others into doing something stupid.

voice;

[doubleoohbaby]

Crowds can easily be swayed back and forth. It doesn't take much to bring them back.

voice;

[prettymorlock]

You have much experience being the one the crowd is after?

voice;

[doubleoohbaby]

Some.

voice;

[prettymorlock]

Have you ever convinced them to stop or did you find that running is a better option?

voice;

[doubleoohbaby]

It's unlikely to fix itself, therefore running is a rather ineffective method.

Uh, it's not bad that this was my first thought, too, is it?

voice;

[prettymorlock]

I don't think so! But that's mostly because you validate my thoughts.
