You know, something's been bothering me a lot recently. What is it about people to focus one the bad things? Can't we try to find the good things? I admit, that even I tend to focus on the negative. It's easier to see. The problem, I guess, in my mind is when someone finds an ethnic group or a subculture or anything and decides to tear them to pieces. Why? I don't know. People band together in subcultures because they have things in common. Ethnicities are a bit more binding for a few reasons, but just because you meet one person who fills certain qualities, does that mean they all will?

I mean, it's like hating a bunch of people who all have the same name. I meet one guy named Ed who is an abusive, lazy, condescending bastard who mooches off of people and is an all around loser. Suddenly everyone I met named Ed is the same way? I don't think so.

You can build a MadLib around something like this really.

Damn those (plural noun), they're so (derisive adjective). I hate them all. They have those (something that makes them stand apart i.e. Star of David). What is up with those? I mean, how (derisive adjective). If it wasn't for them the world would be a better place.

Feh.

Lots of things about Japanese Americans going around. Lots of things about lots of groups of people going around and it disturbs me.

I should do some work. I think I need some coffee first.
