Quotes / Labels

This is small and simple yet great.
reason why yes labels are not for people and they shouldent be
dopeness!!

Beautiful. I suggest you send this to teenagers.

Well said. I agree with you, but I don’t think it will stop anytime soon. I suppose one could even add those who label as “labelers” to the shelf.

It’s not something I particularly like, but you can’t really get away from it. No matter how unbiased a person may be, they will always label you one way or another. It’s human nature.

I don’t know if it’s original either but it’s clever and I like it. People shouldn’t be reduced to a few words, everyone is so complicated in their own particular way.

Im sure psychologists have a reason people do it. Its like we see people behave in a certain way, and our brains have to classify it/label it for future comparing. Everything the brain takes in is labeled, whether it is subcontious or not. Its human nature and how the brain works. I get what your saying though and we need to stop using negative ways of labeling people. Its makes a strong point for such a short statement.

I guess your right….I mean I even tend to label people when I don’t mean to! And I don’t like it at all. But yes, we do need to stop negatively using labels.

I agree that stereotypes aren’t good, but there’s quite a few other things I think we need to stop first.

labelling is awful- it ruins induviduality. I can’t be labelled because I don’t fit into any youth subculture.
I like your humour here- labels most certainly are for soup cans, and really they only apply to insecure soup cans…

Lol insecure soup cans, funny. Yeah it does squash induviduality. Im not really labeled either, but that is a good thing…if I am labeled, oh well, I just ignore it.

aww, but how does one get through the world without somesort of labeling? stereotyping might be politically incorrect, but it exists for a reason. we need to be able to put things in categories—initially. don’t get me wrong—i agree with you overall, but i think there is probably a much more sucsinct (sp?) way to put what you have to say. there’s a song -- “can’t judge a book by it’s cover” and a great line that i love -- “i look like a farmer, but i’m a lover/ you can’t judge a book by it’s cover.” keep it up. i want to see what more you can do.

Of course we need some kind of labels. But we shouldn’t use them when we dont know the person. And we shouldn’t use them to hurt someone. That is what labels I am referring to. I think labels (if needed) should only be used to label things we know. But I am against labeling, most of the time.

ahh, but labels and stereotyping are best used when we don’t know a person. definetly shouldn’t use them to hurt someone, i completely agree. labeling doesn’t work when it’s only something we know. if we know, then why is a label of any use. it’s all semantics anyway. i get your point, i understand your point, and i promise you that this is all a philisophical debate and not an attack of any sort.

I think it would be just as strong without the first line and the word ‘but’.

Yes, but I wanted it to be a bit more unique than than the regularly used “Labels are for soup cans not people” line. But thanks for the review.
