I have to agree with Able. It is somewhat offensive. I normally descibe myself as a nerd, jock, and I'm lazy, but those descriptions are extreme stereotypes and if I cared enough, I'd have been offended at reading them. Even if it wasn't meant to be offensive... I highly doubt there are many people that actually fit what was described in those categories.

That sounds like me, actually XD

Stereotypes are one of the few things that actually bother me,
That and monotheism because they're almost always offensive and just create a lack of respect for anyone carrying a label. Labeling is something that people do because it makes them feel superior-- it distinguishes "us" from "them"; all wars start because of that mentality.
Lack of respect on anyone's part is something that bothers me a lot, so it's only natural that topics like this bother me so much. I would just be ignoring this, except it was originally posted in the 18+ section for reasons I can't even begin to fathom.

Exactly what I would like to have said, but I'm not intelligent enough to word as greatly.
I mean, I know the person who created this topic is 12 years old, and I see a lot of similar behavior in kids that age. (With the unbearable text talk, immaturity, etc.) ...But I'm 12 years old, and I don't run around stereotyping...
Unless I'm talking about n00bs. I would say that there is a "n00b" group here at CS.

If stereotypes are so stupid then why did you just label yourself?
I COULD NOT CARE LESS WHAT PEOPLE THINK I AM, WHO THEY THINK I AM, OR WHY. Almost everything I'm reading on here is stuff like "This is so mean, blah blah blah, you shouldn't label people, now I'm all offended BUT....I guess I'll go along with it anyway" ??????!!!!!! People, you REALLY need to chill out, and quite complaining. If you don't have something nice to say, why don't you just shut up and leave this topic for people who LIKE posting???

Yes, I make awesome pictures. Yes, I can make them for you in exchange for a wishlist pet or two.
No, I don't make awesome signatures.

Personally I find labels to be meaningless and stupid. I am none of these, a mixture of some. Yes, I do cry a lot, but no I'm not "emo". I'm random and usually dont speak unless directly spoken to or with friends. My life quote that pretty much sums up who I am is "People that don't know me think I'm quiet, people that do know me wish I was."
I read the rules before I broke them ; I broke the chains before they choked me out ; Now I pay close attention ; Really learned the code ; I learned to read the map before I hit the road

threads like these are pointless and pumped full of ego-ness and bully tackticks. (why do i say this? to hopefully get you to understand that this type of thread shouldn't have been created)
AND FYI being smart and liking to read does NOT CLASSIFY you as a nerd or a geek.
Glad that i got that of my chest and hopefully this thread will be locked or deleted.
