(1) I don't think it's right to take pot-shots at a man who, for all intents and purposes, can not defend himself.
(2) I don't think it's right to shout out all the troubles with a system, but to offer nothing constructive as to fix it.
(3) I don't think it's right the way sex is thrown around in the media and society in general.
(4) It bothers me how senslessly sexual some people can be.
(5) It's discouraging to imagine that my values hold little esteem not just in The World, but often even among those I care for.
(6) It's disheartening to think that, sometimes, people just don't want to hear what you have to say, for good or for ill.

I had more to say, I thought....

"I would much rather we be open and honest with each other than pretend that there's no differences between the two of us. I'd rather know you as you are, not as I think you to be -- that way, when I say that you are my friend, you don't have to worry about whether or not it's because I don't know you."

ditto that. a lot of people, i feel, don't know me. and yet they call me a friend... only to, when the finally get to know me, dump me by the wayside. either you love me for myself and all that i am and become, or you can go ahead and walk yourself to the curb & save me the time.

i think that's why i don't have a really really REALLY hard time being chubby anymore. granted, i'll never love it, but i'm at an advantage to at least catch that bit of trouble at the door. if you can't like me with my curves, i can tell you that you will DEF. not like me as a skinny person.

[yeah, that did seem a bit off topic, i know.]

Not Off Topic At All. Infact, it's very much on topic.

You have a point in that if someone can't accept you as you are, they likely won't ever be able accept you (excepting the possibility of a change in you or a change in them). At the same time, there are times when I have issues with being, say, out of shape (in that I can't run the way I used to) simply because I'd like to be someone I can like. I think it only makes sense that we all try to be people we can like.
Or something.  ^_^;;  I shouldn't try to think after 11:30.
