Miranda Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Do you look at someone who is not like you and stare or even make remarks? Have you looked at a person who is disabled a little too long? Do you know people who do this? If so, why do you think they do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 This topic may need to be moved but I thought it was about "looks" and what people consider beautiful and ugly. Therefore, making them stare. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destroit Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) I do it from time to time, NEVER to people that are actually disabled. I've LOOKED (I never STARE, just one glance usually and then my brain registers "omfg") over at people eating in buffets sometimes out of natural reaction due to their particular appearance. Sometimes I've stared at "preppy fashion" like "omfg...that's IN? How the hell could something so horrible be trendy?" and with preppy girls I don't care if they know I"m staring at them with hostility because they've done the same to me my entire life.

TygerLili Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm not sure what you mean by staring. Something about someone's appearance might take me by surprise and warrant a double take from me, but then I just think: eh...whatever. As far as remarks, I wouldn't say anything about someone who was disabled. I wouldn't see any reason to. I might make a catty remark to a friend about someone who is horribly dressed or who is acting like a jackass. Who hasn't at one time or another? As far as I'm concerned, they're asking for it.

Rev.Reverence Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I (being the most stared at person I know) only stare at starers (word?)... I may look at someone (for a time) who is taken as "disabled"... it is generally to marvel at some 'quirk of nature' (I am into seeing the diversity of Humanity)...OR to discern 'how they do it' (a mental/emotional excercise my Shrinker taught me)...

As in "stare" I meant when you look at someone for longer than just a moment to where you could possibly make another person feel uncomfortable. If a person is acting stupid, I can understand why another person would look at them because they are obviously trying to draw attention on themselves. Some people take any attention they can get; positive or negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I've LOOKED (I never STARE, just one glance usually and then my brain registers "omfg") over at people eating in buffets sometimes out of natural reaction due to their particular appearance. Personally, I can't dine at a buffet, it sickens me. I went to my first buffet in Maryland about 12 years ago, and I was horrified. It reminded me of a fucking feeding frenzy. Just looking at that sneeze guard and kids putting their fingers everywhere it is just gross. Piles upon piles of food were being wasted and people lining up to consume in excessive abandon. Off topic item: I read a story about a buffet who did not want a group of big construction workers that came in to eat, dining at their establishment. They would charge them twice and legal action was taken against the restaurant because it says: "All You Can Eat". The restaurant had to stop charging the workers twice.

Guest greyhalo Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I tend to look away from people more than anything. I'm pretty aloof most of the time. I had a brother who was disabled his entire life. He passed away a few years ago. So, people with various challenges remind me of him, and I try to understand them.

jynxxxedangel Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Only if there is a characteristic which I find idly fascinating about the person; whether they be uncommonly beautiful, or uncommonly mis-shapen, or perhaps they have a unusually prominent physical feature, or are expressively and/or nattily dressed. Sometimes I can't resist a few forgivably-human "double-takes" at wonderous people. I love diversity, so I enjoy taking in its many forms. I always reward the object of my temporary amusement with a warm smile and a nod if they catch my eye, in appreciation of their individualness. The chances of me striking up conversation with people I find so interesting are very high. P.S. I NEVER look up or stare other at folks who are eating. I also find this odiously rude!

Have you looked at a person who is disabled a little too long? Do you know people who do this? If so, why do you think they do it. Yeah at work all the time We play a game called would you? You look at some one and say would you? And if they would have sex with that person you say yes or make fun of peopl who sit down and are waiting for a waiter. Or other reason customers are so dumb in troy alittle Yuppier but still dumb But being a dumb ass is not being disabled just dumb Edited September 2, 2008 by Jessika Fxckin rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) They should alter the song, "Titties N Beer" to "Titties, Ass N Beer" because that is what I stare at when I do.
