(Before you read, see this thread. I know it's not real, but it's got me thinking about stuff)

In the words of Voltaire, "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

This most famous phrase doesn't stop at opinions or ideas, it can extend to every part of your life, from your tastes in music, clothes, films, etc. to the habits that you don't feel like stopping.

Incidentally, it also co-incides with the pagan philosophy "Do you what will, as as long as you harm none."

There are far more faces of bigotry than just sexism, racism, etc. - people have been judging what other people are like by their clothes for decades. Just because I wear a hoody doesn't instantly turn me into an future convict who throws bricks through windows for fun, just because wear a skull-pendant doesn't immediately make me a necromancer, you get the idea. So where the hell is all this bullcrap about clothes coming from? One of the clubs near where my dad lives in the town has started banning people from wearing Hoodies or Striped shirts/jumpers because, and i quote, "We find that most of the people who cause the trouble are hoodies and stripeys" (ignore the idiocy in that comment). Now, hands up who can see the utter stupidity in this whole ideal? ... anyone? ... very simply, the people who cause trouble aren't going to stop coming , they're just not going to wear hoodies or striped shirts/jumpers!! Not only that, but it also alienates perfectly good people who do wear hoodies or striped shirts/jumpers. By the year 2020, should all clubs perhaps have strict guidelines commanding you from the high heavens of the club offices that you shouldn't wear any clothes at all? Y'know, since people who commit crimes wear clothes! It's a fiendish ploy! I mean, look at gandhi, he's depicted as wearing barely anything at all. Same with Jesus. (Please, no-one comment about strip-clubs, ok? It just sort-of ruins the whole point)

If i want to wear my hoody, I'll wear my hoody. If i want to wear leather gloves, I'll wear leather gloves, If i want to wear a swastika, by god i'll wear a swastika, as long as I'm not tagging along a portable gas chamber.

Looks like George Orwell's book is simply going to happen around half a century later than he'd expected if we continue down this path.

Oh, and on an unrelated note, i've also added a Song and a Loop.

Live By The Chord (Die By The Chord) (One of the songs that was getting backed up)
Kerior (just a crappy piano loop I decided to write :P)

and the conversation on msn where i got the name "Kerior" from :P
