well i think that was a bit undeserved but your entitled to your opinion. are you friends with every single person you meet? im sure your not, so why not? they way they act? people choose their friends based on their personalities and if they are enjoyable to be around, at least i do. every person has a set of likes and dislikes about peoples behavior that determine who they befriend. so there is absolutely nobody out there that is so annoying to you, you don't want them around, enk? according to you, only foppish, weak willed, fussy people get annoyed? i just dont understand that point of view. i also get annoyed and dont desire to be in the company of, as someone else in this thread mentioned, the overly aggressive macho man type of guys. that doesnt mean i hate heterosexual people, it just means i dont like to be around people with certain behaviors and personalities. which is, as i already said, something that every single person on the face of the earth is most likely guilty of. it that makes me weak willed and fussy than so be it. i guess by definition i am intolerant, but by definition everybody is in some way. i wasn't speaking in regards to the generic definition of the word, but just trying to get a feeling from a larger pool of opinions on whether my actions/behavior where seen as that of an ignorant, bigoted person. just like "racist" is used to describe people who do or say pretty much anything where they bring up race, where the actual definition or racism is believing another race is inferior. finding your stereotypical "ghetto thug" attitude undesirable doesnt mean you are racist, it just means they annoy you. i appreciate everyones opinions, be them positive or negative. i had a great 4th with both the mentioned friend and his girlfriend, and without jason luckily, so all is well. once again appreciate all the replies
