Like Chomp said, it's just a difference in taste.
I prefer plain things too. They like gaudy things.
And to them it DOES have to look like that or it's boring and 'cheap' (in their terms).
Leave them to it. It's an entirely different culture.

Well, exactly.
I love 'them' and 'us' conversations.
Everyone talks such sense when making generalisations ;)

Burn everyone who I don't like
Or that doesn't directly work to make my life better.

it's hard to not to talk in generalisations
particularly if ones experience does nothing to dispell them.

My nana got attacked by three dogs from an unauthorised traveller site.
It hasn't made me "universally hate" travellers or gypsies.
People make generalisations like that about women (or men) and get shot down. YOUR experience isn't the whole experience.

you cannot deny that if your were to ask many people their opinion on them that the reaction would be "cunts" or similar
I said "fairly universally hated" meaning that most people would say they hate them, not that everyone hates them universally.

I am aware that my experience isn't the whole experience, nor is that of anyone else, but on the whole most people don't put a lot of thought into things and as such are bound to react based on their experience. It's natural.

Frankly, as with most things, I couldn't give a fuck as long as it doesn't affect me or those I hold dear personally.
