labels are the worst, and unfortunately we can not escape them, it's the way of things. i apologize for not getting your hot topic joke, so on and so forth....like in the movie SLC Punk he says "In the end I was nothing but a trendy ass poser." as well as something to the effect of you can do more damage in the system than outside it, which both of those things i feel are rather profound.

Anywho, I have no idea where I was planning on taking this, but I hope to see you around more often.....

labels are a necessary part of the human existence

at the most basic we have the instinctual... human or animal (fuckabble - not fuckable)

a little higher up... preference... Man - woman... and based on sexuality from there a fuckable or unfuckable label there too... but also mother, father... expectation

the human condition is firmly rooted in communications... adn without labels ..FOR EVERYTHING... we have no way to communicate... car, dog, turtle, lips, poser, goth, cynic...

Kirkegarde said "if you label me, you negate me." but honestly... the only ones without a label are lost...

LAbel me and make my label memorable

First off Feral Teddy picture and the Search (in case you like any of the other results better.

quote:
labels are the worst, and unfortunately we can not escape them, it's the way of things.


I'm pretty sure it isn't. North American culture at large is label-centric, so it is the way of a lot of happenings these days but it doesn't have to be. Labels are a bred part of culture as opposed to a natural part.

But I suppose it is partly what kind of labels we are speaking of. As Feral pointed out without labels like cat and dog or man and woman it would be difficult to communicate. Now as far as I am concerned things like man and woman or animal and human are name type labels. The main point of discussion here is stereotypical labels. The problem with stereotypic labels being, of course, that they stereotype. A person can wear many labels as far as personality and style go, and stereotypical labels are really just labels to describe a group of name labels. One stereotypical label forces the entire group of labels on a person which can't be correct for pretty obvious reasons.

But back to the main point, being it's not really "the way it is" and it's not actually that difficult to "escape it". Personally I don't believe in simply laying down and accepting defeat, especially over something so trivial as stereotypes. It's only "the way it is" as long as people keep it that way. It's actually pretty easy to completely ignore the whole thing. It's all a big joke really, and one day the label and stereotypes will become so overused that they will cease to mean anything really at all. Just look at the latest fad with "Emo" I don't think I know two people who can agree on what this word actually means, aside from the very few that know its a genre of punk music kind of like crust but with slightly more emotional lyrics.

The Ultimate solution to the whole thing being to speak softly and carry a beagle.
Or just ignore and carry on your merry way. Because while everyone else is running around worrying about labels and how they look to other people, you will actually use less muscles dressing in things that you find comfortable, and shrugging when they ask what you "are" than you will worrying about it or trying to fit the square block through the circle hole.

I agree to a degree.... I personally don't lable myself as anything or at least try not to...I'm simply me. What I guess I was getting at is no matter how hard I try to be "me" upon first glance, someone is gonna lable me as a "freak","Goth","punk" whatever- and there really is no way to escape that...As humans we label, stuff, some more than others.

Everyone has a different perspective on the meaning of said labels as well.... it is a viscious cycle- I do however get your point.

but you are labeled... you are a daughter, possibly a sister... human, female, sentient and a mamal... you are intelligent and questing, and you are a thinker... you have labels...

Sardonic-Pain - I think you have to specify which type of label you mean, for poor FeralBear's sake.

True, you can't stop other people from stereotyping you in their minds, but you don't have to care. What does it really matter if they stereotype you in their minds? Hell, what does it really matter if they stereotype you out loud? What I find most viscious is what people do to themselves over it.
It's pretty easy for someone to be themselves, it's one of those "the harder you try the more you fail" kind of things. You are you no matter what they want to think first glance, what does it matter? If they are going to be prejeduced against some stereotype of you that they made up by looking at you once, they probably arn't the kind of people that would be great to hang around with anyway. *shrug*
What does it really matter all in all? nuttin.

If Feral is a bear, then I doubt he is one of the teddy variety.

Labels are humanity's way of sorting out the world. Intelligent, thinking people know that their fellow humans rarely fit a label neatly, and thus hold the label lightly, and use it only to use past experience to predict the behavior of a person recently met. I.e., a goth is likely to act a certain way, a punk another way, and adult one way, a child, a customer, a redneck, a firefighter - we all use this method to help sort through the barrage of new information life throws at us every moment.

An intelligent person will continue to refine his labels as more information on the subject pours in. He is flexible enough to allow for this, until the subject reaches the designation of "known", when it begins to be merely thought of as "Rob", "Amanda", "Michael", or what have you. During this process, he may be surprised to note that the subject does not fulfill the stereotype of its label, such as discovering a goth laughing at a good joke, but Mr. Intelligent is not thrown by this, and in fact is often much more intrigued by such a person than one that fulfills the norm of its label.

However, the ignorant and mentally lazy will always become uptight when confronted with people who do not fit neatly within a convenient label, because this forces them to think. And thinking is hard.

But why worry about them? Let them get their panties in a wad over the fact that you've mentally challenged them. Unless they're carrying billy clubs, then they are the ones that are losing out by rejecting all but the perfectly conforming. And yes, the intellectually agile may be few and far between, but that makes finding them just that much more stimulating.

all I have to ask is this... why do people assume I wear a mask? why do people assume that I am speking metaphorically or as a figure of speech when I say I believe in sterilization of stupid people?

why are people scared of others who pose no threat, but when it comes to me..when I tell them honestly I am a sociopath...they rebell against the idea and refuse tob elieve what I know to be truth

I guess perhaps everyone is just reinforcing their comfortable little realities? Or worse yet...they're busting a commandment of somesuch and casting you in the image of what they believe you should be. Regardless, truth is anathemic to well being and mental stability. I mean this in regards to Truth and not Fact, fact can usually be taken pretty well...truth is a different monster all together, mebbe it's just a protective reflex.

I get something like this occasionally myself, and can only state that its frustrating as hell.

I deffinitely agree with your views on truth, i personally have spent the last year attempting to refine my own label to simply know myself, and i must admit that along the way i have come to face truths about myself that in the past i have adamantly denied. reality can be completely changed by ones perception of what is around him or her, but the concept and imminent presence of truth is not altered in anyway or form, only accepted or ignored. And that is where i think some begin to use defences, when they run away from truth, to alter their perception of reality and thus subconciously change how they see someone.

Feral, I think it's probably some sort of reinforcing of their own comfort zones. I've never really taken comments about sterilazation of the stupid as anything other than gospel. The other possibility is that they envision a teddy bear as a somewhat unstable, unpredictable force to reckoned with while at the same time someone they want to cuddle up with at night.
