ATTENTION!
A friend of mine just witnessed a situation to which she informed me of this:
“Somebody just walked into the caff here, with EXTREMELY blue hair, and a mohawk. It looked really cool, but somebody just looked at him and he completely freaked out. There was swearing and yelling, then he picked up a chair to throw at the other guy.”
In my opinion, if you are going to do things that you know will draw attention to yourself, then you need to learn how deal with attention positively. I’m not in anyway implying that I believe people should conform to how we are expected to look/present ourselves (ask my Dad, I had hair that made everybody look in my direction), but face it; society today has those boarders that it puts on people. Image is one of them. If you look different than the person beside you, then people are going to be looking at you.
If you cant handle the attention, do not draw it to yourself.

Yeah, I find it humorous that some folks seem to get offended when others look at them or become upset if someone decides to comment on their dress or appearance - appearance that the person has manufactured themself.
I also find it funny when some folks also respond, “I’m just being myself and it is the inside that counts.”
Uhhh.. ok. That would be true if we were all blind.

I totally agree. They chose to present themselves like that, and they chose to react. All fault of their own.

Trust me, if this kid expected to walk around and not be noticed/have people stare at him and his choices for extended periods of time then HE was blind. It makes me angry when people expect to be taken seriously and have others ignore their physical traits completely. Like it or not, we live in a society that initially judges people based on their physical appearance and THEN takes time to get to know them. I doubt that the individual who looked at the blue-mohawk man for more than 30 seconds meant anything by it; he was no doubt just intrigued by the sheer look of the guy. Some people are just touchy (read: crazy) i suppose…

Я считаю, что Вас ввели в заблуждение.
