Of course hating someone for their tastes is stupidity, but commonality is important because it's a very quick way to make a small bond to work from. I admit that when I see someone wearing a Lions shirt at the gym, I'm more prone to look on them in a better light. It's just a natural social bonding thing, probably stemming from some evolutionary imperative. Maybe when we were monkeys all the Lions fans banded together to protect themselves from the Bears... pun intended. But you're right Dana, it shouldn't preclude having friends outside of your normal personality type.

I took Pete and the kids to see Bela Fleck and the Flecktones last night. we can still be friends? Lil' Pete asked me, "Why isn't this called the Vic Wooten Band?"
Black and Gold baby!

I'll be your part-time friend for the sake of the music, but I cannot abide those colors!

Well- I can't say that I don't discriminate because of music taste. I do have a knee jerk reaction to people that listen to The Insane Clown Posse (aka ICP), get the tattoos, and cover their car with hatchets. I guess that makes me a jerk. But ok. When I see good decent kids sign on to the psycho posse and act like idiots I just have to shake my head and hope it's only a bad phase.
I know I listened to ridiculous music as a kid too-so I try to understand..... But I have to admit, if my peers like them I take another look at who I'm talking to. And I then deeply reconsider.

The only (slightly) amusing thing about ICP is their fake "rap war" with Eminem, and that's just because I'm a big fan of satire.

Flint.Hmmmm....did he try to get you over to his trailer to smoke meth too? Isn't that really why you never hung out again?Or did he try to get you in on a good old fashioned redneck snuff film? Or something to that effect? Maybe I see the love of ICP as a sign of much much greater problems. A symptom of complete dysfunction and the "professed" validation of it.
See? Kneeeeeee jerk. Anything but ICP and the people who are dumb enough to try and make you understand it. Sorry- I'm such a bit**. But I have never seen the force of stupidity so great as one in an ICP fan. A crazy man with a hatchet on the back window of my car is cool? Sorry. Not so much. Call me stupid for staying away from people because of their tastes (Quee). Especially if their tastes include eating puppies.

Your assumptions are valid, in this case.
I propose that there is no "good reason" to be an ICP fan.

I propose that you, Flint and Cicero are crackheads. I like some of ICP's stuff...that's doesn't mean I'm a total malcontent.

Who the hell is ICP?
There, do you like me more now? Can I be your friend? What if I tell you I'm serious? I seriously have no idea who this clown posse is. I'm gonna assume it's some kind of rap group that tries to be funny. |
