Labels?


Question Posted Tuesday January 30 2007, 4:21 pm

I have a serious hate for people where I live. They use labels constantly & it's annoying. I don't get what joy they get out of degrading someone else for their music tastes & clothing choices.

What's the deal with labels? And why do people use them? I don't get it. But labels should die & so should the people who use them. Nobody's a soup can.

everyone lables.
you CANNOT say that you don't.
you call someone a girl, lable.
call them dirty, lable.
gay, lable. straight, lable.
the word lable is VERY vague, stop trying to make it sound so specific.
society will never stop labling people. When someone walks into the room we judge them and we already by a 4 second scan can decide if we want to get to know them, or if we dont want to get to know them.

//EDIT
that's fine, you're a liar. ohshit. lable.

I agree with MikeCFT. They are everywhere you go. Yah, they suck. But people put labels on each other at every age and in every walk of life. There is no escaping it, you just have to learn to let it roll off your back.

When I was in highschool, I was labeled too. Want to know what? I didn't care what people thought of me then, and I sure as hell don't care what people think of me now. Go ahead. Label me. I don't rightly care.

I look at it this way, I am who I am. Don't like it? That's your own too bad. Don't like me? Buzz off, you're not worth a lick of my time anyway.

Really, you have to be that way too keep them from getting to you. You say those who label others should die. They are getting to you, which is their point. That's letting them win. They only make you feel like a soup can if you let them.

Remember this- though we aren't above anyone, we CAN strive to be above their actions. And hate does nothing for you other than make you feel ugly inside, and there's no point in that.

Okay, I just answered another question like this. People will be people. And people will label other people. Everyone has a right, and they seem to believe that it's free will. It's just how our society works. There's really nothing you can do except just to ignore the bastards who label. I agree, it's annoying. I'm kind of goth/emo, whatever "genre" you would like to title me as. But no, seriously, I think labels should die too. As much as I hate being labeled, I know better than to turn around and do it to somebody else.

labels stink.
people use labels because they don't feel good about themselves, and they think they can feel good by making other people feel inferior...if that is the word i want....to them.
a lot of the time, people who bully others are hurt deep down, from home or from friends.
labels stink. i totally agree. but most people probably aren't doing them just to be mean.
hope i helped, ifyou need anymore advice leave me a note in my inbox!

Some people are just real, real stupid. Yes, they label people because of their looks and what they like, but I think deep down they're trying to cover up their insecurities. They think that by making fun of other races or how thin people are, it makes them look cool. The truth is, when they point their finger, they've got four fingers pointing right back at them.

But yes, labels can get to be REALLY annoying. Um, death is a tiny bit harsh, but the best thing is, is to try and ignore it. Those who make fun of and taunt people are bound to get it right back at them. Plus, if anyone dares to label you, tell them to buzz off. Make people view you how you want them to view you. Just don't worry about it.

Well it's not just where you live...it's the whole world and you might as well grin and bear it and get used to it. It isn't going to stop ever. That's life.

Wait until you step out into the real world where NO ONE cares at all about you. You better develop some thick skin for that.

I'm not sure what you're asking for, but I seriously agree with you. Labels are used to classify people into different groups, and it's a seriously low thing to use, almost like racism. Some people just like to use labels to be labelled themselves in one of the "good" labels (though none of the labels are actually good), or just to make a person feel bad.
It's retarded, but it's also life. People use them all the time. Just don't use them yourself, and just try to deal with the rest of the world. If you know that you're not low as the rest of them, it's fine. =)
