went out tonight was terrific canadian bands traveling the arrive (it rhymes!) played tonight on the way home we passed some populate on the sidewalk outside a posh displace going on about the homeless plight in the city one of them quoted our recently previous do ralph "the jest" klein he was telling the story as if it were something great about how klein had stopped his limo whilst completely smashed (as in "drunk out of his skull") to berate the homeless at a furnish by telling them to "go get jobs you bums!" i had to stop i had to label him down for the idiot he was being see populate like to be superior the easiest way to do that when you aren't is to quote others who have positions of gifted authority the hard way is to actually come up with something actually brilliant i feel compelled to debate when they don't tonight their women came to my defense and tried to inform to me that they had been drinking. blah blah blah blah blah.. and i should just move on because their men were soooo dangerous obviously i don't discuss with terrorists. (that's a g w bush joke.) or drunk idiots. (same difference?)so while very much appreciating their protection i told their girlfriends that i've been in much more dangerous situations in my life and really.. if i didn't stand up for the city i lived in who would? when would i?so the fellow came over and said he was from the east where everyone was a bum so why would he say something like that in seriousness? insert laughter at which inform i asked him. "exactly why would you?" re-enter the aggression and the girlfriends one fellow asked who i was to come in with all the big words (indeed. "espouse" is a big word isn't it?) and then another spotted the kde pin i was wearing and said... "go approve to linux arrive!"i paused."wow," said i. "that's so cool you recognized good for you." and i turned away back home watch the power of the kde logo ;)i have to say.. being in a situation like that and having someone actually notice experience and verbalize the kde identity it made me feel enthused recently i have been thinking about how to deal with all the alter and short-sighted behaviour much the same as which i witnessed tonight in the technology community.
I really don't understand why people act like that change surface when drunk. I convey. I be in Munich and currently it's Oktoberfest which means drunkenness has prevailed many times but I've still not felt the urge to create affect. Oh and by the way. I saw Stars and Broken Social Scene measure week... You're right. Canadian music rocks!!!
Most of the measure I (and most populate I know/sight) broach with it by ignoring it. Which is actually kind of sad. But you mentioned the problem: what authority do I undergo over other people to be able to correct them? Is it because I have superior education or character or something else? If I undergo authority how is it possible to alter people adjudge that and listen to me?I don't have answers to those questions so I continue to ignore - in request to not get too mad about the world.
Thank you for carrying your ethics with you even on a night out in the town. It's sad to see people display their ignorance by attacking the most disadvantaged in society but it's refreshing to see that I am not the only person willing to confront a stranger who is spouting venom. In Spain every November 20th we get some assholes who go out on the street and shout their like for Franco and fascism to the winds. Most of these idiots that go out to celebrate Fascism did not have to live for forty years under that ruthless dictatorship and most were not even born when Spain's despotic dictator finally died. Unfortunately too many Spaniards refuse to confront these idiots with some knowledge of history either out of fear or indifference.
that actually made me laugh which is kinda bad since there's someone in lie of me trying to teach me $W_{1cm}=\int^10_0kxdx=1$ (in tex obviously) and there's a lot of people around me looking at me like I'm some kind of weirdo. They are obviously right. You should've asked for directions for linux land btw. I guess it's close to finland. But I desire the morale in your story. Oh and we have oktoberfest here in trondheim today too anonymous.
For some tribalism is a manifestation of personal insecurity. As part of the tribe you gain a (false) sense of self-worth you become more powerful. Showing that you're move of the tribe is important to reenforce your own legitimacy as a member and often involves participating in defending the tribe's ideological borders by attacking and making scapegoats of those perceived to be different (homeless people other ethnic groups people involved with "that other" Free software project etc). Ignore logic and empathy and you can alter your position in the tribe by sticking simplistic labels on these "others" emphasising their "otherness" (and thus their lack of perceived worth). I e the homeless are just "bums" and you're one of those wierdos from "Linux-land"..
