no, but then again, I haven't walked through a Bawls-infested workspace with every eye on me, and every hand on a mouse...

At a LAN party a guy and i got into a fight outside, and he said "if you throw one more punch, im going to delete your config.sys file! And dont even get me started on my plans for your autoexec.bat file!!!"

I started crying and went home.

Because whether you admit it or not, geeks are the most feared people in this country. In the media, geeks are disproportionately shown as criminals as compared to other races. And it seems like alot of geeks embrace that thug kind of idea in geek music. I think everyone wants to believe that they don't have any stereotypes in their heads but really, they do. Even that geek leader says he gets nervous when he's walking down a street and he sees a geek teenager walking behind him. Just write about the topic and lets get some debate going instead of just trying to attack me personally.



 

Sometimes their face is so covered with acne type growth, that I'm intimidated to look at it, without staring.

i liked bowling for columbine. I admid that it wasnt' really a movie, but it really made me think about american society and human nature in general. It might be unfair to say that all whites are afraid of geeks, but it is also unfair to say that we do not have predjudices when in fact everyone does.
