Why bash what you don't understand?

This all came about because of replies to this thread...

Why all the Manson-bashing? He lives a different lifestyle than you do, fucking get over it. I'm sure there are lots of things that YOU do that bother other people. I dislike children, and will never have any, but does that give me the right to bash all those who DO? No. Learn more, grow up.

You wanna use that energy you got stored up to bash someone? Go after people doing harm to this world- racists, murderers, rapists, thieves... you hate because you don't understand, so why not try to understand why you hate?

Everyone is "different" in their own unique way. What you see as entire groups behaving in a similar manner is simply the way that group's ideals have converged, based on input from all within the group. Like clothing. You see what you consider to be goth people as "all wanting to be different, yet all dressing the same way".

In that line of thought, I put this to you- all of those who are "normal", or just don't feel like being "different" are STILL different in their own unique ways. Example: You say all goths dress alike. So do businesspeople. Shirt, tie, slacks. They all dress alike. They all have their own particular individual style to add, but overall it's just the same.

We are all different from each other. Groups are formed BECAUSE people of similar interests interact and find the company of like-minded people more pleasing than the everyday banality of random others.
