Being a Caucasian, 16 year old, straight, male i tend to think that every blogger I dont know is a white male of between 20-35 years expectantly on tech sites. Is it just me or do you also have such Prejudice?:confused:

Unless they put their picture up, how would you know what they look like?

I don't think it's accurate to call it a prejudice. It's more like a composite. After all, you have to picture some kind of person right?

I personally find it much more fun to picture everyone as SI swimsuit models. (Except MJC. I picture him as Steve Buscemi.)

Hmmm sounds like you may have a personal problem?

well, it is only natural to try to visualize what other people look like when you are not seeing them (like on the phone, when you talk, usually a mental image of the person comes up, if you are talking to someone you know, you "recall" their face)

so, me, i generally see people especially online, as "the all-American" quarterback like character... unless i know them..

You are still young. You have plenty of time to further develop yourself. The important thing to realize is that you realize. "An unexamined life..." and all that.

I think of the activities here at the PC-Guide as mind-to-mind-contact. :)

The bodies that carry the minds around are hardly of importance in these circumstances.

You might be in a wheelchair, or a prison, or who knows?

Or have this sexual plumbing or that. ;)

Do yellow balls bounce higher than red?
