Also, I came across this quote today (John Green):

Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?'

In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.

---------------

Note the first 'contemporary insult'. Many things are going through my mind as I read that. It's like asking those 'nerds' - "you think you're great just because you're different from us? You think you're greater than us? Damn you, nerd. Why can't you be like all of us? You weird nut.". Now, why do people think that way?

I often question myself about why there is so much about things and people I reject. Who am I to say all these things? and yes... who am I?
