I'm not prejudice but...

I’m not prejudiced. I think people should do whatever they want to with their lives. But I think it’s absurd that I should be forced to witness a scene like this.

What people do in private is their business only, but yes, what they do in public concerns me and I refuse to see a scene like this and consider it normal.

They’re challenging social conventions, and that can be dangerous. What if some tragedy strikes, or worse, if someone dies, who’s to blame?

What would happen to a child who sees this scene every day? Kids will think it’s normal to wait for the subway on the yellow line. So, don’t act like that guy over there. Follow the example of the girls.

tricky tricky tricky.....

i didn't even see the guy on the yellow line until the end of the article....the whole time i thought it was about the women....and before seeing the name at the bottom i thought it was your perspective...it had me like "wtf? i don't understand the problem"....it's amazing how easily influenced we can be with words

theyre dressed so similarly that i thought the danger being highlighted was the human tendancy to fall in love with our selves and then expect to see what we love in the minds and hearts of others

also if i want i can stand on the tracks if im watching the correct direction

but its no one elses fault if i get squished lol

:blush:

We all have much to learn.

The important thing is that we have the right intention. It was drilled into my head all growing up to be prejudiced. I will be spending the entirety of my life battling those impulses. The key is to keep battling, not to be disappointed when the prejudice shows up.

Yeah, that was all intentional

It is stupid how we think about things in the foreground and then only the background at the end. I think that we should embrace the whole picture before we measure an opinion.

also id like to point out that the third paragraph was intentionally deceitful in its wording

the author could have said "this is a challenge" rather than "they are challenging"

but the choice was made with the intent to set up the punch line

innocent enough, maybe
but noteworthy imo

I think this is the point it was trying to make. Not see just the obvious.

I don't get it? Were we supposed to find those women strange for wearing the same thing or that guy in the pink shorts? I thought maybe they're trying to blame that guy in the middle for the death/tragedy because he looks like he might be tanned but that's a bit of a stretch?! (Also what's so wrong with having one foot on the line? try some tube stations at rush hour, like eston victoria line, you're lucky to have any part of your body on or behind the line) :S
